South Africa’s government is failing in critical areas — but AfriForum says communities do not have to wait for politicians to fix the country. Kallie Kriel reveals how civil society is fighting back.
In this explosive Truth Report interview by Rob Hersov, Kallie Kriel explains the rise of AfriForum, its relationship with the broader Solidarity Movement, and why the organisation believes South Africa’s future depends on strong, self-reliant communities. The discussion covers failing municipalities, crime, corruption, property rights, the Expropriation Act, community security, drones, local government accountability and AfriForum’s legal battles.
Kriel also discusses AfriForum’s growing membership base, its funding model, cooperation across cultural communities, political independence and the organisation’s philosophy of becoming “state proof” rather than relying entirely on government.
The interview also examines AfriForum’s court victories involving Eskom and NERSA, its efforts to hold political figures accountable, and its position on Julius Malema and the controversial Eastern Cape case involving school principal Jaco Pieterse.
