Ep. 54 - AfriForum’s speech at the UN | Guest: Ernst Roets

I speak to Ernst Roets, Head of Policy and Action at AfriForum, about his speech at the thirteenth United Nations Forum on Minority Issues session. This year’s theme was “Hate Speech, Social Media and Minorities”, therefore Ernst Roets did a presentation via video feed on hate speech against minorities in South Africa. AfriForum has stepped up to take up the fight against hate speech against minorities.

AfriForum is combatting hate speech against minorities in South Africa through various interventions, including research, dialogue, and court battles. Our campaign is also pursued on the international stage through our The World Must Know campaign – in which awareness is raised about the crisis, and international role-players are lobbied to take a public stand on these issues.
