AfriForum takes on MTN over stance on apartheid denialist Steve Hofmeyr | ntwaagae

Lobby group AfriForum has declared a dispute and launched a public campaign against MTN over its alleged"racist action" after the company pulled out of Afrikaans is Groot due to Steve Hofmeyr’s involvement in the show.

AfriForum deputy CEO Ernst Roets said while the company had withdrawn sponsorship because it"does not support the personal views of one of the artists performing at the music festival", it"does not hesitate to act as [a] sponsor for the political gatherings of the ANC and the EFF". "It can, therefore, be concluded that MTN, with its sponsorships to the ANC and EFF, supports the views of both these parties," he argued."The ANC threatened that white farmers' land would be forcefully taken away if they did not willingly hand it over to black people and the EFF incites crime against people based on their race. Both parties are also guilty of hate speech against minorities.

"MTN believes in supporting and showcasing South Africa's musical talent and promoting music that exposes more South Africans to the many different genres that exist across our diverse nation," she said.

ntwaagae South Africa's crisis isn't Apartheid. South Africa's crisis is a collapsing country. It's too late in the day to somehow spin the collapse to be the fault of Apartheid or white people or any other agency but the ruling party. Why are you trying to bend the narrative hard left?
