AfriForum sê die pas-aangekondigde vennootskap tussen die Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Weermag en Mangaung se Verkeersdepartement in die Vrystaat hou die risiko in om burgerlike wetstoepassing te militariseer. Die organisasie waarsku dat militêre opleiding vir verkeersbeamptes die publiek se vertroue kan ondermyn en wetstoepassing kan wegskuif van 'n gemeenskapsgebaseerde benadering. Jacques Broodryk van AfriForum het om duidelikheid gevra oor die omvang van die Weermag se betrokkenheid, en benadruk dat verkeers-wetstoepassing 'n burgerlike funksie moet bly:
AfriForum se dokumentêr, Is Trump right about South Africa? is al meer as 30 miljoen keer gesien nadat Elon Musk dit op X gedeel en Suid-Afrika se rassewette as 'n skandelike verleentheid beskryf het. Die dokumentêr kritiseer die regering se diskriminerende beleid en bespreek oor rassewette, plaasmoorde en grondonteiening. Ernst van Zyl van AfriForum sê dit gee nuwe hoop dat die waarheid oor die regering se optrede uiteindelik op 'n wêreldwye skaal ontbloot word:

Africa Melane speaks to Associate Professor Piet Croucamp from North-West University about a controversial and emotional issue making global headlines. Following Donald Trump’s executive order offering refugee status to “ethnic minority Afrikaners,” thousands of white South Africans are reportedly lining up to leave — citing violent crime, economic decline, and racial discrimination. But is this really a mass exodus or a fringe movement fuelled by fear?

Slotbetoë word gelewer in die saak oor die verdwyning van die sesjarige Joshlin Smith van Middelpos in Saldanhabaai. Ons kry die jongste nuus oor hoe brandbestrydingsoperasies in die Tafelberg Nasionale Park en omliggende gebiede in Kaapstad vorder. Afriforum gaan kriminele klagte teen senior amptenare van die ANC en EFF indien, nadat 'n Oos-Kaapse skoolhoof valslik van verkragting beskuldig is.
AfriForum's Private Prosecution Unit says it will pursue criminal charges against ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula, EFF Leader Julius Malema and Eastern Cape Education MEC, Fundile Gade for falsely accusing a school principal of raping a seven-year-old girl. The alleged assault occurred at a school in Matatiele, Eastern Cape, in October last year. Meanwhile Police Minister Senzo Mchunu has apologised to the principal for falsely identifying him as a suspect in the rape. Last month, police confirmed that no foreign DNA was found on the minor, clearing the principal of suspicion. To elaborate further on the criminal case, Elvis Presslin spoke to Afriforum's Private Prosecution Unit Spokesperson, Barry Bateman

AfriForum Jeug eis toegang tot die Noordwes-Universiteit se volledige ondersoekverslag oor die ontwrigting in die Eikenhof-vrouekoshuis verlede Sondag. Dit volg ná bewerings van 'n sangoma-seremonie in die koshuis, met studente wat ontstellende gille gerapporteer het. Die universiteit het intussen die bewering ontken, maar Yvonne Gerber van AfriForum vra egter 'n duidelike beleid oor kulturele praktyke in koshuise, deursigtigheid en trauma-ondersteuning vir studente wat geraak is:
AfriForum het appèl aangeteken teen die besluit van die Departement van Water en Sanitasie om die oordrag te blok van besproeiings-waterregte van 'n swart boer na 'n wit boer. Die departement voer aan die stap weerspreek sy doelwitte rondom transformasie. Marais de Vaal van AfriForum dring aan ras moet nie die enigste faktor in waterlisensiebesluite wees nie en waarsku die lewensbestaan van landelike werkers verkeer in gevaar:
AfriForum Jeug eis 'n ondersoek nadat 'n tradisionele geneser-seremonie in 'n vrouekoshuis by die Potchefstroomse kampus van die Noordwes-Universiteit uitgevoer is. Die groep sê die voorval, wat bestaan het uit harde gille en voorvaderlike gebede, het Saterdagaand gebeur en die ander studente ontstel. Yvonne Gerber van AfriForum Jeug wil hê die universiteit moet duidelike reëls instel oor kulturele praktyke in koshuise, berading verskaf en personeel oplei om studente se bekommernisse beter te hanteer.

AfriForum blameer die leierskap van die ANC vir die VSA se besluit om hoër invoertariewe vir Suid-Afrika op te lê. Uitvoerende hoof, Kallie Kriel, voer aan roekelose beleidbeslissings en gespanne betrekkinge met die VSA het tot hierdie tariewe gelei, wat ongeveer 60 lande beïnvloed. Kriel kritiseer die regering vir die prioritisering van ideologie bo burgers se belange. Hy hou vol dat strafmaatreëls vermy kon word en doen 'n beroep vir 'n neutrale buitelandse beleid om die sanksies op te hef:

AfriForum doen 'n beroep op die internasionale gemeenskap om sankies toe te pas op die leier van die EFF, Julius Malema, vir vermeende menseregteskendings gekoppel aan die Kill the Boer-dreunsang. AfriForum sê Suid-Afrika se howe het misluk om Malema verantwoordbaar te hou. Uitvoerende hoof, Kallie Kriel, sê AfriForum is besig met die opstel van 'n dossier oor Malema se vermeende aanhitsing tot geweld, wat aan wêreldregerings voorgelê sal word om druk uit te oefen vir strafmaatreëls.

With the national budget vote looming and the country watching closely, the ANC and DA appear to be on the brink of a deal that would secure passage of a highly contentious budget — including a 0.5% increase in VAT. Pieter du Toit, Assistant Editor of Investigations at News24 and author of The Super Cadres, The Stellenbosch Mafia, and The ANC Billionaires, joins John Maytham to unpack the latest behind-the-scenes negotiations. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In the latest Sunday Show with Neil de Beer, the President of the United Independent Movement (UIM), speaks about Budget negotiations threatening the Government of National Unity (GNU) as Deputy President Paul “Slimy” Mashatile is rumoured to be leading talks with the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) for support that would see the Democratic Alliance (DA) left out in the cold. De Beer laments everything in South South Africa that is “moer toe", including SOEs, municipalities and the SANDF. He talks about the US' latest strike against South Africa, and reveals how he would fix the SANDF; but says SOEs, ‘which there is no more saving of”, should be sold off to the private sector. Meanwhile, he counts on next year's municipal elections to produce new leadership to save bankrupt, non-performing municipalities as the ANC appears incapable of self-correcting. “They have shown themselves not capable and they have had 30 years of trying to be capable and they have absolutely not performed… if the saving of the ANC in the short term has now been the destruction of the country in the long term…That is another debate to be had.” He also gives his take on the Constitutional Court's decision not to hear AfriForum's appeal that chanting “Kill the Boer” is not hate speech - and calls on South Africans to be more sensitive on what is socially acceptable.
AfriForum het sy regspan opdrag gegee om die "Kill the Boer"-slagspreuk op internasionale vlak uit te daag nadat die Grondwetlike Hof sy appèl verwerp het. Uitvoerende hoof, Kallie Kriel, sê hierdie stap is nodig weens die gebrek aan plaaslike beskerming van Afrikaners se regte. Kriel sê die groep beplan regsaksie en internasionale voorspraak by verskeie howe en platforms, en noem globale bekommernisse as motivering. Hy beklemtoon AfriForum se bereidwilligheid om gemeenskapsveiligheidspogings te versterk te midde van voortdurende spanning:

AfriForum het uitgevaar teen president Cyril Ramaphosa omdat hy weier om die omstrede 'Kill the Boer'-dreunsang te veroordeel, en noem dit stille goedkeuring van geweld teen Afrikaners. Die Presidensie se woordvoerder, Vincent Magwenya, sê Ramaphosa sal nie die dreunsang veroordeel nie, ondanks die Amerikaanse minister van Buitelandse Sake, Marco Rubio, se kritiek. Ernst van Zyl van AfriForum beskuldig Ramaphosa dat hy politieke alliansies voorrang gee en nie aandag skenk aan minderheidskwessies nie:
AfriForum het die minister in die Presidensie, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, gekritiseer oor haar wanvoorstelling van 'n vergadering tussen die organisasie en die polisie. AfriForum weerlê bewerings dat sy erken het die plaasmoordstatistieke wat die minister van Polisie, Senzo Mchunu aangebied het, akkuraat is. Jacques Broodryk van AfriForum hou vol die vergadering was om misdaad-data te vergelyk, nie om wit volksmoord aan te spreek nie. Hy kritiseer Ntshavheni omdat sy die vordering wat in gesprekke oor plaasaanvalle gemaak is ondermyn het:
Die Vryheidsfront Plus sê die Konstitusionele Hof se uitspraak oor die apartheid-era Kill the Boer-liedjie is teleurstellend en kommerwekkend. Die hoogste hof het AfriForum se aansoek om verlof tot appèl teen vorige bevindings dat die lied nie haatspraak is nie, van die hand gewys. Die VF Plus-leier, Corné Mulder, sê wanneer ʼn land se hoogste hof die aanhitsing tot moord op ʼn minderheidsgroep goedkeur, kan en mag die betrokke minderheid nie stilbly nie:
Suid-Afrika se uitgeskopte ambassadeur in Amerika, Ebrahim Rasool, is 72 uur gegee om die land te verlaat. Rasool se uitsetting volg op sy opmerkings tydens 'n webinar gereël deur die dinksentrum, die Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection. Hy het onder meer die Amerikaanse president Donald Trump se administrasie beskuldig van rassisme en oppermagtigheid. Intussen het AfriForum gesê die voorval is 'n bewys dat die ANC se diplomatieke dobbelspel misluk en die land en sy mense duur te staan sal kom. Die uitvoerende hoof van AfriForum, Kallie Kriel, beklemtoon dat die ANC-leiers en Rasool, as 'n ontplooide kader, direkte verantwoordelikheid moet aanvaar vir die diplomatieke flater:

Anti-apartheidsaktivis Allan Boesak het aangekondig hy gaan nie die voorgestelde nasionale dialoog bywoon nie, omdat dit volgens hom nie Suid-Afrika se probleme sal oplos nie. Boesak het in Kaapstad gepraat en is gekant teen die regering van nasionale eenheid. Hy het ook die Amerikaanse president Donald Trump se gebrek aan kennis oor wêreldsake gekritiseer en bygevoeg dat AfriForum se optrede teen die Onteieningswet, Suid-Afrika benadeel:
AfriForum sê die regering se weiering om besnoeiings in te stel, ondanks wydverspreide teenstand teen die verhoging in BTW, sal nou ernstige druk plaas op alle Suid-Afrikaners. Die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, het BTW met 0,5-persentasiepunte verhoog vir vanjaar sowel as volgende jaar. Louis Boshoff van AfriForum sê die regering het eenvoudig voorstelle ignoreer oor uitgawe-besnoeiings, insluitend die verkleining van die kabinet en die privatisering van staatsinstellings:
AfriForum vra die minister van Finansies, Enoch Godongwana, om vandag die ANC se versoek vir belastingverhogings in sy begroting te verwerp. Die burgerlike organisasie, ekonome en sakeleiers vra eerder verlagings in staatsbesteding as belastingverhogings. Louis Boshoff van AfriForum vra die kabinet moet verklein, staatsampsdraers se salarisse verminder, verkwistende uitgawes besnoei en staatsinstellings geprivatiseer word om belastingbetalers se las te verlig:
AfriForum het die pasgepubliseerde konsepregulasies vir die Wet op Nasionale Gesondheidsversekering afgeskiet as onduidelik en swak geskryf. AfriForum se veldtogbestuurder, Louis Boshoff, voer aan dat die regulasies nie duidelikheid gee oor hoe die stelsel sal werk nie, en het kommer uitgespreek oor die regering se bekwaamheid om die program te bestuur. Hy sê die regulasies is vaag en teenstrydig, wat oproepe versterk dat die wet eerder geskrap moet word:

Earlier this year, South African lawmakers passed the Expropriation Without Compensation Act. This is part of their country's effort to address the injustices of the past. During the years of white minority rule, black South Africans were dispossessed of their land, some even forcibly relocated to areas far from business districts. But years before the current land act was passed, a pressure group called AfriForum, composed of white Afrikaners, travelled to the United States to lobby conservative politicians. They strongly argued that the land law would leave them at a disadvantage, even though the South African government reassured them this wouldn't be the case. This culminated in US president Donald Trump issuing an Executive Order, suspending financial aid to South Africa. Presenter: Alan Kasujja Guests: ANC Deputy Secretary General Nomvula Mokonyane and political analyst Melanie Verwoerd.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has been fighting to advance his own version of progressive race communism inside the country for many years. Recently, a new law was passed making it easier for the South African government to expropriate land and redistribute it along racial lines. U.S. President Donald Trump drew attention to the issue when he promised on social media that he will deny aid to the country if the expropriation law stays in place. Ernst van Zyl of AfriForum joins me to discuss the situation on the ground and what the expropriation law means for Afrikaners in South Africa.
