The new Expropriation Act, which permits expropriation without compensation, also places Afrikaners and other landowners in the government\u2019s crossfire,\u201d emphasises Kallie Kriel, CEO of AfriForum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amid these circumstances, AfriForum is determined to continue, together with other institutions of the Solidarity Movement, its efforts to help create a future for Afrikaners here at the southern tip of Africa. To achieve this, AfriForum and the Solidarity Movement will continue to build on various self-reliant projects to ensure a future, regardless of a hostile government. AfriForum will achieve this, among other things, by continuously expanding its safety structures and essential cultural infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfriForum and our allies will also intensify our efforts to use every possible mechanism at our disposal, including international pressure, to bring about a change of direction in the country for the benefit of all, including Afrikaners,\u201d says Kriel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also emphasises that AfriForum respects the personal decisions of these refugees, who, given their specific circumstances, have decided to leave the country.
