ANC blasts AfriForum for 'racist sense of entitlement' after visit to the White House

JOHANNESBURG - The ANC has strongly condemned AfriForum for continuing to spread its misinformation campaign to the US government. 

Earlier this week, the minority lobby group faced public criticism following its visit to the White House to meet officials from the Trump administration.

The group has been calling for the United States to intervene in what it terms South Africa's unlawful land grabs targetting Afrikaner farmers. 

ANC spokesperson Mahlengi Bhengu-Motsiri says AfriForum's actions are unpatriotic. 

"The actions of AfriForum and Solidarity are highly divisive and unpatriotic. Their memorandum to the US and their actions...conveniently forget centuries of colonialism and years of apartheid, but are also outright lies to justify their racist sense of entitlement."
