The BLF intended to use the money to register for elections, but will now have it used against them.
In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, Black First Land First complained that minority civil rights organisation AfriForum had not let up on its fight against them, and succeeded in having their bank account frozen.
The BLF believed the matter is related to their ongoing tussle against AfriForum, which has also dragged them to the courts. The party has for some time accused them and others of trying to destroy them through legal costs, which have been mounting. They accused AfriForum of being “land thieves and racists” who are “terrified that the BLF will be in parliament after the elections in May”.
“Our movement has since confirmed that our account is indeed blocked. BLF has been aware of this evil plan and has secured most of the funds for deposit for National Assembly.
