AfriForum hits back at Ramaphosa criticism
Updated | By Bulletin
President Cyril Ramaphosa and AfriForum are locked in a blame game over who's really dividing South Africa.
It follows a visit by representatives of the lobby group to the US this week where they submitted a memorandum to President Donald Trump's administration in Washington.
They claim they went there to plead for ordinary South Africans not to be punished.
They say they instead want pressure to be put on the ANC to change its policies.
Ramaphosa has criticised AfriForum and Solidarity for taking their grievances to Washington, accusing them of sowing divisions and undermining South Africa's sovereignty.

AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel instead pointed fingers at the president and leaders of the ANC.
"It's President Ramaphosa that the Expropriation Act. It's also President Ramaphosa that refuses to engage with AfriForum and the Solidarity Movement. We will not be deterred."
Meanwhile the Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni says government will be sending its own delegation to the White House.
