MANDELA’S GREAT-GRANDSON LAYS CHARGES AGAINST AFRIKANER ‘REFUGEES’

On his X account, Mayibuye Mandela – who refers to himself as “Nelson Mandela’s great grandson” – revealed that he had officially taken actionagainst the group of Afrikaner “refugees”.

Mayibuye posted official documents stating that he had laid a charge of treason against the group, as well as Afrikaner rights organisations, AfriForum, and Solidarity Movement.

In the papers, Mayibuye accused the “refugees” and the organisation of spreading “fake news” and a “false narrative” of a “white genocide” in South Africa.

The 30-year-old stated that the “refugees” had violated numerous laws, including:

  • Incitement to cause public harm or racial hatred over their “propaganda”.
  • Misinformation and Cyber Defamation for “causing reputational harm to South Africa”.
  • Immigration Act for “knowingly submitting false claims of persecution”.

TREASON CHARGES AGAINST AFRIFORUM

Apart from being charged by Mayibuye Mandela, AfriForum is also facing a treason probe after four dockets of high treason were opened against it.

The lobby group has been condemned for calling for the US to “intervene” in domestic affairs. It has also been accused of spreading misinformation about the Expropriation Act.

AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel has repeatedly claimed that he was “not concerned” over the probe.
