Washington stopped talking about South Africa in the abstract this week. Marco Rubio named individual officials for visa restrictions over land seizures, race-based discrimination and incitement, and the US ambassador in Pretoria called it only the first move. Hudson Institute's Joshua Meservey explained why Washington chose a scalpel over a sledgehammer, and why South Africa's own dealings with Tehran, Moscow and Hamas made this outcome close to inevitable. Denker Capital's Kokkie Kooyman weighed in on how South African banks are quietly benefiting from the same Iran war that's rattling oil markets, even as FirstRand heads for the exit in the UK and the country drifts closer to Beijing and Moscow. AfriForum's Jacques Broodryk laid out a disturbing new report on the patterns of torture behind 47 farm attacks. And on Wall Street, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to fight an oil-driven inflation spike, sending stocks lower.

In this interview with Chris Steyn, Jacques Broodryk, the Chief Spokesperson for Community Safety at AfriForum, hails the announcement by the Trump administration of visa restrictions for those “responsible for, or complicit in, the enactment or implementation of laws or policies that enable uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination, and/or the incitement of imminent violence against members of minority ethnic or racial groups in South Africa.” In his reaction, Broodryk says: “We've been asking for direct sanctions against these political leaders for quite some time now, publicly and as well as in discussions with the US…we hope that the work that we've been doing has had some kind of an impact on the steps that the US has now taken. Because this is what we've been asking for, for international pressure so that the South African government can stop dismissing minorities' complaints and concerns the way that they have been doing for the last 30 years.” Broodryk also unpacks a new AfriForum report – focused on 47 separate violent farm attacks - that reveals a recurring pattern of torture. He says AfriForum will now continue to expand and strengthen its 178 neighbourhood and farm watches and invest in volunteer training as well as the expansion of its specialised response capabilities, technology, and communication networks.

AfriForum sê die Nasionale Waterwet maak nie ‘n regstelling op 'n afsonderlike vereiste waaraan voldoen moet word voordat 'n aansoek om 'n waterlisensie oorweeg kan word nie. Die organisasie betwis 'n vereiste op die Departement van Water en Sanitasie se aanlynstelsel wat van aansoekers verwag om aan te toon hoe hul voorgestelde watergebruik, vorige rasse- en geslagsdiskriminasie sal aanspreek. Marais de Vaal van AfriForum sê die vereiste kan belegging, werksgeleenthede en die produktiewe gebruik van water raak:

'n Verslag deur AfriForum ná die ondersoek na 47 gewelddadige plaasaanvalle tussen 2019 en 2025, dui op 'n herhalende patroon van marteling. Daarvolgens is slagoffers gebrand, gesteek, verwurg en seksueel mishandel. Jacques Broodryk van AfriForum sê plaasaanvalle kom in al nege provinsies voor, en vra die regering om dit te erken as 'n misdaad wat dringende aandag en spesialis-reaksie vereis. Broodryk vra ook dat slagspreuke soos "Kill the Boer" veroordeel word.

AfriForum's Morné Mostert tells BizNews the ANC's plan to merge Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni into one mega metro fails the science test - bigger municipalities don't perform better - and mainly boosts councillors' pay, which scales with size. From BNC#9, Dawie Roodt tells Alec Hogg he'd rebuild confidence by literally cleaning up the country, then hand himself the finance ministry to build the world's simplest tax regime. Ian Cameron revisits the Philippi ambush that nearly killed him a year ago, and Reuters wraps a Wall Street slide as bonds sell off and oil spikes on Iran.

According to Nomvula Mokonyane, First Deputy Secretary-General of the African National Congress (ANC), the party is considering a fundamental review of the country's municipal structures, including the possible amalgamation of Johannesburg, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni into a single “megatropolis”. In his reaction, Morné Mostert, Local Government Affairs Manager for AfriForum, tells Chris Steyn that his civil rights organisation would “tackle it legally - full scale” as “this won't benefit any citizens on ground level”. He also points out that municipal councillors remuneration is based upon how big the municipality is. “So it's very obvious for political structures to say, yes, let's create a larger municipality as it will benefit them personally.” Mostert further details the large-scale municipal litigation AfriForum is currently involved in. “Our latest primary focus with regards to litigation are shadow fees and taxes that our municipalities put into the tariff bylaws and put into the budgets… most of these municipalities are just running to get funds together and they're not doing that in a legal or lawful manner.” Describing the mood on the ground, he says: “...most people are frustrated. No economy can function properly if there aren't regular, efficient and readily available services… people are in dire straits.”

Ernst J. van Zyl - AfriForum, Afrikaner identity and South Africa's State Decay Ernst J. van Zyl, head of public relations at AfriForum, joins Hearts of Oak to discuss South Africa's political and social crisis. He explains AfriForum's work as a large, member-funded civil-rights and community organisation: court challenges, local problem-solving where the state has failed, and a nationwide safety network. The conversation covers layered identity — why many South Africans, including Afrikaners, put culture and language before national identity — and why a highly centralised state struggles to manage deep diversity.   Ernst describes three decades of state-capacity decay: collapsing electricity, water, roads and rail, cadre deployment, corruption, and policies that enrich a connected elite under the language of empowerment. He details the Expropriation Act, the live court battle over property rights, farm murders, the “Kill the Boer” chant, media reluctance to challenge official narratives, and the ANC-led coalition that has not reversed those policies. The interview also looks at Orania, the limited U.S. refugee option, and AfriForum's decision to stay and build a future for Afrikaners in South Africa rather than leave. Ernst J. van Zyl is Head of Public Relations at AfriForum, South Africa's largest member-funded civil-rights and community organisation. A political scientist and commentator, he holds a master's degree cum laude in Political Science from Stellenbosch University, with research on expropriation without compensation and the Zimbabwe case.   He has spent more than a decade analysing South African politics and culture, and several years leading AfriForum's public communication. That work includes court challenges to the Expropriation Act, community and safety projects where the state has failed, and international briefings on farm attacks, minority rights and property rights — including at the United Nations and in the United States and Europe.Van Zyl is also a documentary filmmaker (Selfbestuur and Is Trump right about South Africa?), co-presenter of the Afrikaans politics podcast Podlitiek, and host of In alle Ernst.   Connect with Ernst...   WEBSITES  afriforum.co.za / theworldmustknow.co.za

The General Industries Workers Union of South Africa (GIWUSA) has strongly condemned a partnership between March and March and Afriforum. The organisations say their engagement aims to strengthen communities, promote the rule of law, improve education and tackle crime. But GIWUSA President Mametlwe Sebei argues the alliance promotes xenophobic populism and Afrikaner nationalism.

The once carefully curated moral image of the Democratic Alliance (DA) is showing more cracks. In their weekly chat, Chris Steyn and political commentator Solly Moeng discuss the R4-billion South African Reserve Bank (SARB) investigation into the company founded by DA Finance spokesperson Dr Mark Burke, and the pro bono security provided to former DA Mayor Tania Campbell by tenderpreneur and attempted murder accused Cat Matlala. Moeng also comments on the allegation that Matlala's passionate legal representative, Advocate Annelene van den Heever, was regarded as a “close friend” of the notorious late taxi boss Mswazi Mbisi; as well as the gruelling grilling suspended MP Fadiel Adams is facing from Madlanga Commissioners. “…a very murky world … has been operating at the expense of the rest of South Africa. And we really hope that it all comes out so that we never have to be here again.” As for the collaboration that has been announced between AfriForum and March and March, Moeng says: “..they all in their own way think they're fighting their corner because the centre has not been fighting their corner on their behalf…”

19 Augustus 2026: Die DA se woordvoerder oor finansies, Mark Burke, reageer op die aantygings teen hom. Pas op vir vervalste gewisverliesmedikasie - jy kan tronk toe gaan! Afriforum en March and March gaan saamwerk.

Civil rights group AfriForum and community movement March and March have launched a joint grassroots initiative to address alleged government service failures across South Africa. Following high-level talks in Pretoria, the organizations agreed to bypass state incompetence by pooling resources for community safety and local legal challenges. We spoke to AfriForum CEO, Kallie Kriel.

AfriForum het 'n aansoek vir minagting van die hof teen die EFF en sy leier, Julius Malema, by die Hooggeregshof in Pretoria ingedien. Die organisasie se uitvoerende hoof, Kallie Kriel, sê die aansoek kom ná die EFF en Malema se hernieude oproepe tot onwettige grondbesetting, ten spyte van 'n hofbevel wat AfriForum in 2017 verkry het wat hulle verbied om sulke uitlatings te maak. Hy sê tydens 'n openbare EFF-lesing by die Universiteit van Limpopo verlede maand het Malema verwys na jongmense wat eendag 'n plaas in Stellenbosch sal betree en beset:

EFF leader Julius Malema is set to face criminal prosecution after the National Prosecuting Authority agreed to charge him with crimen injuria. The case relates to comments he made in April 2025 in which he accused a former Bergview College principal of raping a seven-year-old girl, a matter the NPA previously declined to prosecute due to lack of evidence. AfriForum's Private Prosecution Unit, which backed the complaint, says the decision is a test of accountability and the right to dignity. The unit has also filed complaints against ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula and Eastern Cape Education MEC Fundile Gade over similar allegations.We spoke to Afriforum's Private Prosecution Unit Spokesperson, Barry Bateman.

Mandy Wiener speaks to Barry Bateman about AfriForum securing the go-ahead to enrol Malema’s prosecution.

In todays Daybreak, AfriForum's CEO reveals an upcoming contempt of court case against Julius Malema for land grab calls. Paramount Group's founder warns of a potential uprising in South Africa. Locally, Nedbank report strong interim results, while a scam victim shares his R450,000 loss. Globally, SpaceX and AMD release earnings, and South Africa pitches a $180 billion energy plan to China.

In this interview with Chris Steyn, Kallie Kriel, the CEO of AfriForum, describes the legal battle being fought against the Expropriation Act in the Cape High Court this week. Detailing the implications of the act in current form, Kriel warns that after the Local Government Elections in November, municipalities under MK control could use a section of the act to expropriate without compensation. “They can use a reason that is not valid and they can go ahead…And that is why we will use the resources we have to fight this till the bitter end.” As for unlawful occupation, Kriel reveals that Economic Freedom Fighter (EFF) CIC Julius Malema is facing legal action over his latest land grab call. “A few years back we got a court order successfully against him that he is not allowed to do that. He had to pay our costs. But you will see that during the last week he did it again. We have not announced that publicly; so you hear it the first time. But our legal team is drawing up a case at the moment because his behaviour is contempt of court. So we believe we have a strong case there.”

Thirteen votes vanish, a city manager gets his job back, and Tshwane's bondholders are left wondering what happens to every tender signed while he was out. Kallie Kriel tells Chris Steyn that AfriForum is coming for Julius Malema again, and this time the government's in the crosshairs too. Then Ivor Ichikowitz, the famously private founder of Paramount, breaks his silence on the defence empire he built out of South Africa, and on a fresh survey showing Africa's youth quietly picking sides between Washington and Beijing. Plus: Nedbank's numbers hide a bigger story, the JSE reports on itself, Old Mutual's frozen Zimbabwe shares get a lifeline, and Palantir hands Wall Street another reason to pay attention.

Another BizNews tribe member has suffered a huge online trading platform loss. In this interview with Chris Steyn, Tommy Salem describes how he ended up on the FXSI platform after clicking on a clip showing AfriForum's Kallie Kriel before losing R450 000 in two months. It was money Tommy could ill afford to lose: “I had a stroke. So I was at home for a year and I was busy with the therapy and that didn't work out and the company then decided to put me on permanent incapacity leave. ..That was money I received from my insurance and my incapacity benefit…it's painful to lose so much money…” In its response to BizNews, FXSI stated: “The complaint was received on 28 July 2026, acknowledged, and remains under formal investigation…As the matter is ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment publicly on the allegations or speculate on the outcome.”

AfriForum sê die instelling van die Onteieningswet in sy huidige vorm sal verreikende gevolge hê, daarom moet dit ongrondwetlik verklaar word. Die Wes-Kaapse Hooggeregshof hoor na verwagting vandag ʼn aansoek aan om dele van die wet uit te daag. AfriForum, die DA en die Instituut vir Rasseverhoudinge eis dat sekere dele van die wetgewing geskrap word. AfriForum se uitvoerende hoof, Kallie Kriel, sê die enigste mense wat gaan baat by hierdie wetgewing, is ʼn klein politieke elite:

Cabinet has approved the extension of driving licence card validity from five to ten years for certain vehicle categories. Government says the move is aimed at reducing backlogs at testing centres, cutting administrative burdens and aligning the country with international norms. However, the decision has sparked debate around road safety, enforcement and whether the system is equipped to handle such a transition. Importantly, the changes are not yet in effect, as legislative amendments still need to be finalised and gazetted. We spoke to Louis Boshoff, campaigns officer at AfriForum.

AfriForum sê die pas-vrygestelde Nasionale Water-aksieplan bevestig dat Suid-Afrika se waterkrisis veroorsaak word deur mislukte munisipaliteite, verwaarloosde infrastruktuur, swak finansies en ʼn gebrek aan aanspreeklikheid. Die plan stel omvattende hervormings voor. Munisipaliteite verloor byna die helfte van die water wat deur hul stelsels gepomp word. Lambert de Klerk van AfriForum sê die land het nie ʼn tekort aan planne om die waterkrisis te hanteer nie, maar eerder ʼn gebrek aan aanspreeklikheid:

AfriForum sê Gauteng kan volgende jaar weerens 'n skoolplasingskrisis vir graad een- en graad agtleerders beleef, omdat die aanlyn toelatingstelsel te laat oopmaak. Die organisasie sê meer as 400 000 leerders sal binne 'n kort tydperk geplaas moet word. Carien Bloem van AfriForum sê die laat opening van die aanlynstelsel en toenemende druk op skoolkapasiteit kan tot vertragings met die plasing van leerders lei:

AfriForum sê hy sal sy regsgeding teen die energiereguleerder, Nersa, oor Eskom se bykomende elektrisiteitstariefverhoging van 54-miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand voortsit. Die dringende aansoek is van die hofrol verwyder en sal nou later in die Hooggeregshof in Pretoria aangehoor word. Dalena Beyers van AfriForum voer aan Nersa het versuim om redes vir die goedkeuring van die verhoging te verskaf tot net voor die verhoor, wat kommer wek oor deursigtigheid en die besluitnemingsproses:

Ernst en Louis ontnonsens die 72%-leuen. Waar kom die papegaaifrase dat witmense 72% van al die grond in Suid-Afrika besit, vandaan? En waarom is dit in elk geval ‘n dom idee om grondbesit so simplisties voor te stel?Intussen is dit met nommerplate in Suid-Afrika – soos met verskeie ander dinge – makliker om die onwettige weergawe as die wettige weergawe in die hande te kry. Louis en Ernst gesels oor waarom dit die stand van sake is en wat om daaraan te doen.

Nes plaaslik is brande ook 'n risiko in Suid-Afrika. AfriForum sê grondeienaars, boere en gemeenskappe moet voorberei vir 'n moontlike strawwe winterveldbrandseisoen. Die waarskuwing volg na 'n vooruitsig deur die nasionale rampbestuursentrum wat 'n hoë brandrisiko in dele van Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, die Oos-Kaap, Gauteng, Limpopo en Noordwes toon as gevolg van warm, droë en winderige toestande. Tarien Cooks van AfriForum sê bogemiddelde temperature, sterk wind, digte plantegroei en moontlike El Niño-toestande kan die risiko van vinnig verspreidende veldbrande in die komende maande verhoog:

AfriForum is optimisties oor die landbousektor ná die DA se voorgestelde kabinetskommeling in die regering van nasionale eenheid, wat Willie Aucamp as die voorgestelde nuwe minister van Landbou insluit. Die organisasie glo die moontlike verandering is 'n positiewe stap om die bek-en-klouseer-krisis, wat swak bestuur is, aan te pak. Lambert de Klerk van AfriForum sê indien Aucamp aangestel word, sal hy die geleentheid kry om vorige tekortkominge reg te stel en siektebeheer te verbeter:

AfriForum sê die vertraging met die vrystelling van die nasionale wateraksieplan toon die regering se traagheid om op te tree terwyl die waterkrisis voortduur. Die organisasie beweer die plan is volgens berigte gefinaliseer en is selfs in die Parlement voorgelê, maar steeds nie bekend gemaak nie. Marais de Vaal van AfriForum sê die vertraging ondermyn die openbare vertroue en toon 'n mislukking om planne te implementeer ten spyte van maatreëls oor instandhouding, aanspreeklikheid en anti-korrupsie:

AfriForum is ontstel nadat 'n uitgelekde epos wys hoe 'n senioramptenaar in die Departement van Landbou boere spot wat tydens die bek-en-klouseer-uitbreking om hulp vra. Die burgerregte-organisasie sê die regering was te stadig om op te tree en hou te veel beheer oor entstowwe. Lambert de Klerk van AfriForum wil hê boere, privaat veeartse en landbougroepe moet toegelaat word om met die inentingsprogram te help:

AfriForum sê die vuurwapenbeheerkrisis is die regering se verantwoordelikheid nie wetsgehoorsame burgers s'n nie. Die organisasie voer aan die fokus moet op swak bestuur van wapens in staatsbesit wees, en nie op strenger wette oor wettige wapeneienaars nie. Jacques Broodryk van AfriForum sê openbare veiligheid sal 'n probleem bly tensy die regering verbeter hoe hy wapens berg en bestuur. Broodryk vra vir strenger sekuriteit van staatswapens om te verhoed dat vuurwapens by misdaadnetwerke uitkom:

AfriForum sê die Stad Johannesburg het 'n verhoging van 65,6 persent in die wateraanvraagbestuursheffing goedgekeur sonder om sleutelinligting te verskaf oor hoe die verhoging bereken is. Die organisasie voer aan daar word van inwoners verwag om kommentaar te lewer op die begroting sonder toegang tot die nodige besonderhede, wat openbare deelname waardeloos maak. Marais de Vaal van AfriForum sê die verhoging, van 65 rand en agt sent tot 107 rand en 74 sent per maand, is nie deursigtig en behoorlike regverdig nie:

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) se jaarverslae toon sedert 2020-2021 'n skerp toename in die aantal vuurwapenlisensie-aansoeke. Jacques Broodryk, AfriForum se hoofwoordvoerder vir Gemeenskapsveiligheid, verduidelikin hierdie episode van AfriPod wat moontlike redes hiervoor is en hoe AfriForum privaat vuurwapenbesit beskerm.

AfriForum sê die Gautengse Departement van Onderwys blameer skole verkeerdelik vir die provinsie se munisipale skuldkrisis. Die burgerregte-organisasie sê die departement ignoreer sy eie rol in onbetaalde munisipale rekeninge, insluitend 'n gerapporteerde skuld van 583 miljoen Suid-Afrikaanse rand, asook vertraagde oorbetalings aan skole. Alana Bailey van AfriForum waarsku planne om gedesentraliseerde skoolbestuur te hersien, kan skole wat goed bestuur word ondermyn en die situasie vererger in plaas van om administratiewe probleme op te los:

AfriForum sê die Nasionale Direkteur van Openbare Vervolging, Andy Mothibi, moet duidelikheid verskaf rondom die huidige status van pogings om die Gupta-broers uit die Verenigde Arabiese Emirate te laat uitlewer. Die Ondersoekdirektoraat Teen Korrupsie het verlede jaar verklaar hy sal 'n nuwe aansoek indien vir die uitlewering van Rajesh en Atul Gupta, wat verdink word van betrokkenheid by staatskaping. Jacques Broodryk van AfriForum sê Mothibi moet aandui wat die uitleweringsproses belemmer:

AfriForum doen 'n beroep op 'n volledige ondersoek na herhaalde sekuriteitsbreuke by die fasiliteite van die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag in Gauteng, insluitend inbrake en wapendiefstal. Die organisasie sê die voorvalle dui op ernstige nasionale veiligheidskwessies en moontlike sindikaatbetrokkenheid of interne samespanning. Hy het ook aangebied om die SANW te help met opleiding oor die uitvoering van sekuriteitsassesserings. Jacques Broodryk van AfriForum sê sterker beheermaatreëls is nodig om strategiese militêre infrastruktuur te beskerm en verdere oortredings te voorkom:

Callum, die kalm Britse reisiger, het Suid-Afrika besoek en 'n dokumentêr gemaak oor die ont-ontwikkelende land (of is dit dan net 'n wikkelende land?). Een van Podlitiek se aanbieders maak sy verskyning daarin.Intussen is die MK-party gepla deur die moontlikheid van selfbeskikking wat in die Suid-Afrikaanse grondwet vervat is.
