The movement has taken a moderate stance, asking for any potential sanctions to be restricted to individual ANC members rather than the country as a whole.

A delegation from the Solidarity Movement, led by Flip Buys and including AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel and Solidarity CEO Dr. Dirk Hermann, held talks with senior Trump administration officials at the White House. This meeting marked a significant diplomatic moment, addressing issues of governance and human rights in South Africa.

The memorandum can be read in full here.

The delegation thanked the Trump administration for spotlighting alleged human rights violations against Afrikaners and criticized the ANC’s policies and governance. Expressing gratitude for President Trump’s willingness to assist Afrikaners, they emphasized the need for focused pressure on ANC leaders rather than punitive measures such as ending South Africa’s participation in the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).

Concerns raised included the potential repercussions of the Expropriation Act, escalating racial tensions, and policies impacting Afrikaans schools, such as the BELA Act. Dr. Hermann also presented a detailed report on South Africa’s extensive racial legislation, framing these as threats to social and economic stability.

“The current diplomatic crisis was caused by the ANC. This is not just a minor diplomatic misunderstanding,” said Dr. Hermann, underlining the gravity of the situation.

The meeting reflects growing international attention on South Africa’s internal challenges, with the delegation seeking external support to counter what they view as discriminatory and destabilizing policies. Further updates on this engagement are expected.

The ANC’s National Democratic Revolution (NDR) has left South African communities impotent, intentionally depriving them of the ability to make decisions for themselves. Self-determination is the only antidote.

Why pushing for Cape independence will benefit ALL people in South Africa

David Wilkinson

South Africa is, in all sense and purposes, dead. The question is: What will replace South Africa? Cape Independence creates the right amount of internal pressure to build a better future.
