The Hawks are investigating four dockets for high treason, reportedly targeting AfriForum and Solidarity.

The investigation comes after several high-level meetings in Washington between AfriForum and Solidarity members and officials from US President Donald Trump’s administration.

AfriForum has been lobbying for international intervention, urging the US to hold the ANC accountable for what it claims are threats to Afrikaners and Afrikaans culture.

The visit to the US comes after the two organisations complained about the Expropriation Act, which is aimed at facilitating land reform and redistribution. The act allows government to expropriate land for public purposes or in the public interest, which includes land reform and redistribution.

Questions have been raised about whether the action by the two organisations should be considered treasonous.

Should AfriForum and Solidarity members face arrest for high treason or were their lobbying efforts justified?
