News24 | WATCH | 'An act of economic sabotage': MK Party lays charge of high treason against AfriForum
UMkhonto we Sizwe party filed a treason complaint against AfriForum on February 10, 2025, claiming the group spread misinformation about South Africa's land expropriation law to influence U.S. President Donald Trump.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order cutting financial aid to South Africa, citing the land reform law and alleged rights violations against Afrikaners.
The South African government has defended the Expropriation Act, stating no land has been seized without compensation and rejecting claims of misinformation by AfriForum.
A decision on prosecuting AfriForum will be made by the National Prosecuting Authority based on evidence from the police, as stated by MK's parliamentary leader John Hlophe.
