While the South African government announced another bill to target land ownership by white Afrikaners, representatives from the South African Solidarity Movement met with senior representatives of the Trump administration in the White House to fight for the interests of Afrikaners and South Africa. 

After the Trump administration issued an executive order Feb. 7 offering “resettlement” to Afrikaners in South Africa who are victims of unjust racial discrimination, AfriForum head Kallie Kriel told The Epoch Times his organization had received almost 30,000 inquiries from Afrikaners indicating interest in claiming refugee status in the United States.

At a pro-Trump rally outside the US Embassy in Pretoria Feb. 15, activist Tewie Wessels spoke of his German great-grandfather’s decision to come to South Africa instead of going to the United States: “Both of our nations struggle with the spineless, supposedly conservative establishment.”

Many Afrikaner organizations appealed to the Trump administration to “Help us Here” rather than promoting resettlement of the Afrikaner population that first settled South Africa beginning in 1651.

There were 23 farm attacks and 2 farm murders in South Africa in January 2025, South Africa Today reported.

On the weekend, even well-off South African cities like Cape Town faced massive blackouts of up to 6 times a day (“Stage 6 load shedding”) as the corrupt state-run electricity company Eskom continues to fail to supply basic infrastructure in what used to be the wealthiest country in Africa.

Matt Gaetz spoke to Gavin Wax of the New York Young Republicans and Ernst Roets, who has announced he is stepping down as Head of policy at the Solidarity Movement.

“After 20 years of involvement with the Solidarity Movement, I have decided to resign. I made this decision because I became convinced that there is more space for me outside the Solidarity Movement to live out my calling and truly mean something to our people – that I will be able to make a greater contribution outside the movement.”

Jost Strydom of Afrikaner town Orania in the Free State warned that “the ANC government in South-Africa is doubling down on land expropriation. A shocking new bill was just announced; land expropriation based on majority demographics. That means; land ownership must reflect the demographics of South-Africa.”

“The Department of Land Reform and Rural Development announced today to the relevant parliamentary portfolio committee that the so-called “Equitable Access to Land” Bill will be introduced this year, the idea is to rush it through before the end of Neither the department nor the portfolio committee is making a secret of the fact that this bill specifically targets land ownership by white Afrikaners,” Strydom said Feb. 21.

A delegation of AfriForum and the Solidarity Movement is visiting the USA “to thank the Trump administration for the recognition given to Afrikaners as a people and cultural community and the discrimination to which Afrikaners are subjected, and to show appreciation for the Trump administration’s willingness to offer humanitarian assistance to Afrikaners”, they said in a statement.

The delegation was led by the chairperson of the Solidarity Movement Flip Buys, and included Kallie Kriel, AfriForum CEO, Dr Dirk Hermann, Solidarity CEO, and Jaco Kleynhans, Head of International Liaison at the Solidarity Movement. During this historic meeting, the delegation expressed its gratitude to the Trump administration for highlighting the human rights violations against Afrikaners, and the ANC’s reckless policies and poor governance of the country.

“The Solidarity Movement is grateful for Trump’s willingness to provide assistance to Afrikaners”, they stated. The delegation also handed over a memorandum to the Trump administration during the meeting. “This memorandum indicates that the interests of South Africa’s citizens, including Afrikaners, can best be promoted through intensified pressure on ANC leaders for pushing radical policies, rather than ending South Africa’s participation in the US “African Growth and Opportunity Act” (AGOA) or punishing the country as a whole.”

The delegation expressed “serious concerns about the consequences of the Expropriation Act, racial laws, calls for violence against Afrikaners and attacks on Afrikaans schools such as the BELA Act”, which aims to prohibt the use of the Afrikaans language.

During the visit to the White House, the Trump administration was requested to intensify pressure on ANC leaders to, among other things:

  • End discrimination against Afrikaners by, among other things, revising the anti-Afrikaans Bela law and racial legislation.
  • Act strongly against hate speech that incites violence such as farm murders in which Afrikaners are the target.
  • Respect the right to property ownership by, among other things, revising the Expropriation Act.
  • Enter into a cultural agreement with Afrikaners that will provide cultural space for Afrikaners in South Africa, which includes the existence of Afrikaans educational institutions.

The following requests were also made to the Trump administration:

  • That humanitarian assistance offered to Afrikaners by the US will also include assistance to Afrikaners who envision a future for themselves at the southernmost tip of Africa.
  • That ordinary South Africans should not be punished by stopping AGOA and other aid to ordinary people – the focus should instead be on political leaders who are responsible for reckless policies, and those who are responsible for the large-scale corruption identified by former Chief Justice Zondo’s commission.
  • If the USA were to continue to stop South Africa’s participation in AGOA, that direct bilateral agreements are entered into with, for example, agricultural organisations and non-state actors in other sectors to try to limit the negative impact on ordinary citizens of the country.

These requests and others are contained in the Solidarity Movement’s Washington Declaration which was presented to the Trump administration during the visit to the White House. This statement is also fully supported by AfriForum and Solidarity, which are part of the Solidarity Movement.
