The civil rights organisation AfriForum says the ongoing diplomatic crisis between South Africa and the United States is deeply concerning, warning that the fallout is not in the best interests of anyone in the country. This follows US President Donald Trump’s announcement that Pretoria will be excluded from the 2026 G20 Summit, a dramatic diplomatic move that risks undermining multilateral cooperation and South Africa's global standing.

Trump justified the decision on the grounds of alleged human-rights abuses against white South Africans, accusations that have sparked outrage in Pretoria, with officials rejecting the claims as false and insulting.

We are now joined by Kallie Kriel, the Chief Executive Officer of AfriForum, to talk to us.
