McGLORY SPECKMAN | AfriForum scratching where there is no itch

Their actions have only succeeded in galvanising the true South African spirit

28 March 2025 - 04:30 By McGlory Speckman

The report on March 25 by News24 about AfriForum’s Kallie Kriel attacking judges for ruling against them in the ‘Kill the Boer’ case is disappointing. It is no different from the trend we saw developing during the state capture years, when judges were demonised and their lives threatened for doing their work. We did not know then that the motive was to cover up and divert attention from sinister activities that were taking place where the eye could not see. What could AfriForum’s motive be in following the same trend?..
