Afrikaner Group Denies Responsibility for Misleading Trump
(MENAFN) The Afrikaner Leadership Network has asserted that Afrikaners should not be held accountable for any misinformation presented to U.S. Leader Donald Trump regarding the current state of affairs in South Africa, which remains one of the continent’s most influential economies.
The organization emphasized that the blame being directed toward Afrikaners is misplaced and lacks substantial foundation.
Earlier this week, President Cyril Ramaphosa traveled to the United States for a pivotal diplomatic meeting with President Trump.
Accompanying him was Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen, who was tasked with contributing to negotiations aimed at preserving the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), a crucial trade framework that benefits African nations.
The primary objective of the engagement is to mend tense diplomatic ties between South Africa and the U.S., while also ensuring the continuation of advantageous trade relations.
This diplomatic mission includes several high-ranking officials: Trade and Industry Minister Parks Tau, Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, and Minister of International Relations Ronald Lamola.
In addition, Mcebisi Jonas, recently appointed as a special envoy to the U.S., is also part of the South African delegation.
Speaking to a broadcaster, Theuns Eloff of the Afrikaner Leadership Network stated that attributing the spread of false information to Afrikaners is wrong.
He further remarked that the idea of a misinformation campaign is exaggerated, asserting that he is confident President Trump is aware of the real situation in South Africa.
