Mandela's good work in vain

In the week that saw the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky publicly humiliated in the US Oval Office, a group of four men from AfriForum concluded its tour of the United States.

The Afrikaner civil rights group went to the US to raise support for Afrikaners in South Africa who, according to them, not only face a genocide, but are losing their land to the government through expropriation without compensation.

It would not be far-fetched to think that they probably watched the utter humiliation of Zelensky with glee, hoping that in the near future, President Cyril Ramaphosa would be invited to the White House for a similar session with Donald Trump and his vice-president.

It is ironic that AfriForum has wormed its way into the White House because of the economic dominance of the very same group that it alleges faces persecution in South Africa.

It is because of their economic dominance that tech billionaire Elon Musk has taken up their cause and placed it on US President Donald Trump's urgent to-do list.
