AfriForum to send farm attack victims to USA after deceitful Ramaphosa statement
27 September 2018
The civil rights organisation AfriForum today announced that it would send victims whose loved ones had been murdered in farm attacks to the USA as part of the next phase of AfriForum’s awareness campaign against farm murders and expropriation without compensation. The organisation also plans on launching the book Kill the Boer* by Ernst Roets, Deputy CEO of AfriForum, in Washington, D.C. AfriForum will also send 100 copies of the book to international opinion formers and hand-deliver a copy of the book at the office of President Cyril Ramaphosa.
This follows after Ramaphosa said at a media conference yesterday in New York that there were no farm murders or land grabs in South Africa.
AfriForum wants to provide farm attack victims and their families with the opportunity to tell their stories to opinion formers, politicians, government representatives and the media in Washington.
Roets describes Ramaphosa’s statements as infamous lies and says that these are a slap in the face of the more than 10 000 people who were attacked on South African farms, as well as the families of the approximately 2 000 victims who were killed in these farm attacks.
