AfriForum today criticised President Cyril Ramaphosa for insulting Afrikaner refugees by calling them “cowards” and emphasised that the President should rather take responsibility for his own complicity in the exodus and planned emigration of Afrikaners to the US and the rest of the world.

Ramaphosa’s decisions and actions, according to Kallie Kriel, CEO of AfriForum, are causing serious alienation among many Afrikaners. Kriel points out that issues such as Ramaphosa’s continued refusal to condemn calls for violence against Afrikaners, as encouraged by the “Kill the Boer” chant, contribute to this alienation. Additionally, the President’s approval of the Basic Education Laws Amendment Act (Bela), an anti-Afrikaans piece of legislation, and the Expropriation Act, along with the Ramaphosa government’s use of discriminatory racial legislation and draconian racial regulations, directly contribute to the alienation of Afrikaners and other minority communities in the country.

"Refugees don’t run away; they are chased away – and that is exactly what Ramaphosa and his government are doing. By further insulting Afrikaners and continuing to ignore issues that affect Afrikaners, Ramaphosa is only digging the gulf of alienation even deeper,” says Kriel.

“AfriForum respects the right of people to leave the country but remains committed to the fight against the injustices committed against Afrikaners and other minorities in general, to also ensure a future for Afrikaners and other minorities here at the southern tip of Africa. AfriForum, and most Afrikaners, are here to stay. We know no other home than Africa,” concludes Kriel.
