BREAKING NEWS : AfriForum Takes Case Against Malema to Trump Administration
AfriForum, a South African civil rights group, has taken its campaign against Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema to the international stage. On September 24, 2025, the group delivered a dossier to senior Trump administration officials during a White House visit, alleging Malema’s involvement in inciting violence, corruption, and supporting terrorist groups.
The dossier, presented by AfriForum board member Werner Human, highlights Malema’s controversial “Kill the Boer” chant and other public statements that have sparked widespread concern. AfriForum, joined by trade union Solidarity, is calling for international sanctions against Malema, arguing that the South African government has failed to hold him accountable.
CEO Kallie Kriel emphasized the global consequences of Malema’s actions, pointing to the UK’s recent visa denial for Malema on similar grounds. The group also discussed farm attacks and potential expropriation without compensation, which AfriForum links to threats against Afrikaner communities.
The move has sparked intense debate across South African media and social platforms, with some supporting AfriForum’s efforts to defend minority rights and others criticizing the group for potentially deepening national divisions. As of September 25, neither Malema nor the EFF has responded to the dossier.
