Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi has challenged AfriForum, labour union Solidarity and lobby group CapeXit – an organisation seeking the separation of the Western Cape from the rest of the country – to make their donor lists public.
Lesufi said he believed that some of the groups were receiving funding from organisations or businesses which were seeking to reverse the gains of a democratic South Africa. He said while some were interested in knowing who was funding the ANC, they should also disclose who is funding them.
He said businesses who keep funding racist formations should be ashamed because they take the hard-earned money of black people and invest it in right-wing groups. He accused AfriForum of feeding the fears of white people. While he refused to draw his family into the conversation, he said those around him had faced threats in the past from right-wingers, who accused him of trying to erase the legacy of Afrikanerdom in Gauteng.
’’There’s a private deal by the DA and AfriForum which has gone to the Constitutional Court. We cannot allow that.” “We are a Christian trade union and our funding is memberships and we have other funds. R10 of the funds we use to build universities and colleges, that’s R10 of our membership fee. We also have funds for litigation.
