‘Condemn kill the boer’ – Ramaphosa must assure Trump of commitment to Afrikaner human rights | The Citizen
Image Credit: citizen.coSouth African President Cyril Ramaphosa is scheduled to visit the US for a working trip, including meetings at the White House with President Donald Trump.
AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel urges Ramaphosa to commit to protecting Afrikaner human rights, condemning the “Kill the boer” song, prioritizing farm murders, and addressing property rights reforms.
The visit is expected to be tense, with billionaire Elon Musk and US officials anticipated to pressure Ramaphosa, particularly on South Africa’s Black Economic Empowerment laws and allegations of white farmer persecution.
Despite potential difficulties, Ramaphosa and his delegation emphasize focusing on key bilateral issues and maintaining a mutually beneficial relationship with the US.
