The ANC announced that it had been joined by another former liberation party, the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC), in a meeting with the Afrikaner leadership network on Tuesday.
AfrifForum and solidarity have been claiming that white people were under attack in the country, all the while rejecting an offer from US President Donald Trump for asylum
South Africa has been on a collision course with fears that this might mean the end to the country’s AGOA (African Growth and Opportunity Act) benefits
The ANC, in a short late-night statement, says it met with the Afrikaner leadership network to discuss matters of common interest
The former liberation movement resolved to meet with the fringe groups earlier this year in the face of persistent claims that white South Africans were being targeted in the country
It says the talks were robust and frank and that the dialogue, which the PAC facilitated, is a clear indication that South Africans bear the collective responsibility of addressing challenges that confront the country.
