Unfortunately, the real unpatriotic behaviour is that of @PresidencyZA Cyril Ramaphosa, who signed the Expropriation Act, which allows for expropriation without compensation, knowing full well the devastating consequences it could have for South Africa’s economy, ordinary South Africans and international relations. Zimbabwe has shown how this kind of unpatriotic disregard for property rights by a president can lead to poverty, unemployment, hyperinflation and people fleeing across the border into South Africa. There is a clear connection between Ramaphosa’s announcement on 23 January 2025 that he had signed the Expropriation Act and the United States’ announcement, just 10 days later, on 2 February 2025, of measures against South Africa. Perhaps it is time for Ramaphosa and other ANC leaders to take full responsibility for the negative consequences of their own irresponsible behaviour, rather than falsely blaming @afriforum and others. AfriForum remains committed to helping find solutions to the dispute with the US that is in the interest of all South Africans. Together with Solidarity and the Solidarity Movement, AfriForum has made various constructive proposals to President Ramaphosa aimed at resolving the dispute with the United States. Unfortunately, instead of working together to find solutions, Ramaphosa appears determined to continue playing the blame game rather than joining hands with those who are willing to help resolve the problem.
