'Trump is modern leader of racist KKK and president of AfriForum in America' - Zizi Kodwa
23 August 2018
ANC has slammed US President Donald Trump and local lobby group AfriForum, accusing them of advancing "s wart gevaar " politics through their views on farm murders and land expropriation without compensation.
"I don’t think he [Trump] knows a country called South Africa. He thinks SA is a continent... he wants to polarise SA and reverse the gains we have made to build racial harmony, because all what he does is use fear factor, swart gevaar and, therefore, entrenches that we must accept the status quo of inequality," head of the Presidency Zizi Kodwa told News24.
He said Trump was undermining the US' standing internationally, with no one taking the country seriously because of him.
AfriForum welcomed Trump’s controversial tweet that his secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, must "closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers".
