‘Bizarre’: March and March-AfriForum alliance sparks questions over political motives

The AfriForum and March and March movements have joined forces to work together on legal issues, despite their significant differences. AfriForum, a civil rights lobby group advocating for Afrikaners and minorities, and March and March, an anti-immigration movement, met on Tuesday. This alliance aims to address shared interests and common challenges, including protecting the rule of law, fighting crime, and illegal immigration.

Both organizations agreed to support each other in issues related to the rule of law and community safety. However, their ideological differences have sparked questions about the motives behind this unexpected alliance. Independent political analyst Professor Metji Makgoba described the meeting as "bizarre" and questioned the involvement of AfriForum, which has been described as an openly racist organization.
