AFRIFORUM FIRES BACK AT JULIUS MALEMA AFTER CLAIMS ABOUT ITS FINANCES – KALLIE KRIEL SAYS THE ORGANISATION’S RECORD SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
A fresh political war of words has erupted after AfriForum responded to criticism from EFF leader Julius Malema regarding the organisation’s finances and activities.
In a strongly worded response, AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel rejected allegations made against the organisation and argued that AfriForum remains accountable to its members and supporters.
According to AfriForum, the organisation is supported by more than 300,000 members and has received clean audits over the years. It also claims to have invested billions of rand into community projects, neighbourhood safety initiatives, legal actions and campaigns aimed at holding government accountable.
The organisation released a video and detailed explanation of how membership funds are used, directly challenging Malema’s criticism and insisting that its financial records are transparent.
The latest exchange is the latest chapter in a long-running political feud between AfriForum and Julius Malema, with both sides frequently clashing over race relations, land reform, crime, governance and the future direction of South Africa.
Supporters of AfriForum argue that the organisation plays an important role in community safety and civil society, while critics accuse it of advancing divisive politics and representing narrow interests.
The public disagreement has once again sparked fierce debate across social media, with South Africans taking sides as the battle between Kallie Kriel and Julius Malema continues to dominate political discussions.
