Save South Africa condemns the irresponsible utterances by Afriforum claiming that the newly signed Expropriation Act seeks to take land by force from the white owners.
Despite the fact that Black South Africans understand the history of land, the original inhabitant applied ubuntu and opted to forgive even when the perpetrators failed to ask for forgiveness.
It is our warm hearts as Africans that makes the other race feel superior.
We call on Afriforum and other white extremists to desist from telling lies about South Africa and its people.
The irresponsible statement by Afriforum has already put the lives of those living with HIV/AIDS in danger because the decision by Donald Trump to cut aid to our country happened very fast and no one saw it coming.
This does not mean that we beg US for aid, it is that the government had not planned for that shortfall.
However, this is a wakeup call to South African government to start thinking the budget without having aids in mind.
Let’s remove the corruption, trim the cabinet and reduce the benefits for the cabinet members in order to contribute the money to health-related issues.
Afriforum has acted in an evil manner because it has failed to put the lives of those who are living with HIV/AIDS at the center of their stupid argument.
What is also sad is that the Expropriation Act doesn’t agree with what Afriforum is saying.
These are the results of those who write statements without actually reading the Act itself.
There is no difference between the grade 4’s who couldn’t read for comprehension and Afriforum.
Afriforum is suffering from the very same challenge of failing to read for comprehension, hence it misinterpret what the law is saying.
Therefore, Save South Africa calls on Afriforum to retract its nonsensical statement and must further apologies to those who are living with HIV/AIDS.
Lastly, our government must from now plan the budget in the absence of Aid in mind.
