USA boycotts G20 @afriforum warned the ANC in advance that South Africa’s relationship with the USA cannot be repaired by falsely dismissing American concerns as the result of “misinformation.” The reckless strategy of the ANC-led government has now failed, and the country is reaping the bitter fruits thereof. It is in the country’s best interest to restore relations with the USA. AfriForum proposes that this be done by finding solutions to, among other things, the farm murder crisis and the lack of respect for property rights — issues that have once again been highlighted by President @realDonaldTrump. AfriForum proposes the following: Farm murders •@PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa must unconditionally condemn the “kill the Boer” chant, which calls for ethnic violence against Afrikaners. •Acknowledgement must be given that farm murders are often accompanied by excessive torture and violence. •Farm murders must be declared a priority crime, as is already the case with many other crimes — even rhino poaching is a priority crime. •The government must ensure that the police cooperate with farm and neighborhood watch groups that operate within the framework of the law. Expropriation Act •The government must commit itself to protecting property rights. •Section 12(3) of the Expropriation Act, which makes expropriation without compensation possible, must be repealed. •Section 19(2) of the Expropriation Act, which allows expropriation to take place before the courts have given a final ruling, must be amended.
