Pretoria – US Ambassador Brent Bozell met with leaders of several Afrikaner organisations in Pretoria, including AfriForum, Solidarity, SAAI, NEASA and the Freedom Front Plus, to discuss ways the US could contribute to a “safer and more prosperous” South Africa.
The US Embassy shared details of the meeting on X on Friday morning.
“Great to see Afrikaner leaders from the Solidarity Movement; AfriForum, Solidarity, SAAI, NEASA, and Freedom Front Plus,” read the post
“We discussed how the US government’s focus on the community can contribute to a safer and more prosperous SA.”
