Ep. 18 - AfriForum in the USA 2020 | Guests: Ernst Roets & Monique Taute

I interview AfriForum Head of Policy and Action, Forum Films CEO, Chairperson of Opinor. Producer: Disrupted Land, Tainted Heroes, and Author of Kill The Boer Book, Ernst Roets, as well as AfriForum Head of Campaigns & Head of AfriForum’s Anti-Corruption Unit, Monique Taute. We will discuss AfriForum's comprehensive international campaign, "The World Must Know", for the protection of civil rights in South Africa.

Issues on which the campaign will specifically focus include expropriation without compensation, as well as farm murders, hate speech and the South African government’s veneration of human rights violators. The campaign rests on three pillars:

1. Creating awareness of the situation in South Africa;

2. Raising support among opinion formers, governments and other decision makers; and

3. Mobilising the South African diaspora and foreigners with interests in South Africa to swing into meaningful action.

AfriForum also published a report that sets out how the rights of minorities are violated in South Africa on various terrains. The report contains information on the government’s warped perception of democracy, minority rights and equality, hate speech against minorities, the attack on the property rights and heritage of minorities, as well as the phasing out of Afrikaans and other minority languages in the public sphere. It also highlights the South African government and the ruling ANC’s veneration of the world’s worst human rights violators and the accompanying animosity towards countries where human rights are protected to a large extend.
