Message à la droite française.
Vous allez probablement gouverner en 2027. Alors je vous parle franchement, de l'extérieur : je suis économiste de l'école autrichienne et je vous écris de Suisse.
Hier soir, à Limoges, une mairie de 1883 a brûlé et son clocher est tombé. Elle avait été payée par une France qui produisait encore. Elle a été brûlée par une France qui ne fait plus que distribuer. Les formes survivent longtemps à leur raison d'être. Puis elles brûlent.
Rien de ce que l'État pleure aujourd'hui n'a été bâti par lui. Les banques, les lettres de change, la comptabilité, les bourses : les villes les ont faites, entre marchands qui se devaient des comptes. La couronne les a encaissées et a appelé le produit « la France ». Le comité a hérité du tout. Les fruits de la liberté se récoltent dans des phases de non-liberté croissante, et c'est pourquoi l'on prend si facilement le centralisme pour la cause de la prospérité.
Je le dis comme je le pense : la Révolution française fut une erreur, et le centralisme qui la suivit en fut une autre. La théorie étatique de la monnaie n'a fait en 1789 que changer d'habit, de l'hermine au comité. Le comité est devenu ministère, le ministère déficit.
Écoutez la rue : elle veut plus d'État. Un des plus gros déficits de la zone euro, et une foule qui le veut plus gros. Une religion de salut dont le dieu est en faillite ne perd pas de fidèles ; elle hausse la voix et, hélas, ses briquets.
Il n'y a pas de complot, ni à gauche ni à droite. L'Occident s'est relâché après une surtension excessive et névrotique, et dans le vide s'est avancée la religion de substitution de l'étatisme : le salut par l'État, la rédemption dans le nous collectif. La plus grande part de la faute, aussi paradoxal que cela paraisse, revient aux prétendus conservateurs. Un appareil se nourrissait en parasite des institutions et consommait leur capital, et les conservateurs appelaient cela préserver. Ils ont donné bonne conscience au déclin.
Et l'immigration ? Vous pouvez la régler demain matin, vous n'aurez soigné que la fièvre. L'immigration de masse subventionnée vers l'État-providence, menée sous le mensonge du réfugié, est le dernier symptôme : le point culminant d'une naïveté hors du réel, d'un formalisme aveugle et de la consommation de statut et de revenu dans l'État thérapeutique. Qui y voit la cause confond la poussée de fièvre avec la maladie.
Et ne comptez pas sur le patriotisme pour vous sauver de l'étatisme : il en est la forme d'origine. La nation est née en 1789 avec le comité, la conscription et l'impôt pour tous, et la droite « patriote » vit aujourd'hui du même jeu à somme nulle que la gauche : servir les nôtres contre les autres avec l'argent d'une machine qui ne produit rien. Sans la machine, elle n'aurait rien à promettre. L'électoralisme est le cœur du système, pas une faiblesse de vos candidats : il sélectionne une classe qui distribue et une foule qui attend la distribution. Il est trop tard pour le patriotisme ; il faisait partie du problème.
Ne cherchez pas non plus le moment où revenir. Ce moment n'existe pas : tout moment que l'on voudrait ramener est une récolte, et les récoltes ne se répètent pas, mais bien les semailles. Ce qui demeure de la nostalgie, c'est le costume, et le costume pris au sérieux devient un jeu de rôle qui ne veut plus que célébrer sa certitude de salut.
On ne renoue pas avec un moment. On renoue avec un momentum : l'autonomie des villes, la décentralisation, la confiance entre étrangers, l'ambition culturelle, l'esprit d'entreprise, l'invention, l'individu qui ose quelque chose et en répond. La France en avait plus que quiconque, dans ses villes, ses foires, ses salons et ses ateliers.
Il n'y faut pas de programme ; les programmes sont la figure sous laquelle un moment se défend contre le temps. Il y faut des hommes qui fondent, découvrent, inventent, tiennent une maison sur des générations et contredisent une autorité lorsqu'ils savent mieux qu'elle. Et des institutions qui leur donnent durée, dignité et liberté, au lieu de les traiter en suspects.
On ne ramène pas 1883. On peut ramener ce qui l'a bâti.
Searchlight South Africa, Vol 2, No 2, January 1991:
"The Kabwe conference of the ANC in 1985 pleased only the security department of the ANC together with its corrupt leaders. The conference had no grain of democracy.
Throughout the proceedings, chaired by various leaders of the SACP such as Dan Tloome, John Nkadimeng and Jack Simons, the most crucial problems facing the ANC were evaded and some not even mentioned. The division in Umkhonto we Sizwe that was so apparent at the time was not even discussed. The report of the carnivorous security department was not read to the conference. The report of the Stuart Commission [which had investigated the 1984 mutiny in Umkhonto; see Bandile Ketelo et al, 'A Miscarriage of Democracy' Searchlight South Africa No 5, pp 48-9—eds] was also not tabled. Chris Hani [then the army commissar] arrogantly said the Stuart Commission was appointed by the National Executive Committee not the conference, implying that the NEC was above the conference, in violation of one of the basic principles of the ANC. In the ANC the conference is above all.
It is important to note that the behaviour of Chris Hani was condoned by the President O.R. Tambo and Joe Slovo [now general secretary of the SACP], who said nothing to reprimand this despot, their subordinate, who was so rude and uncontrollable in the ANC. When a few elected delegates tried to raise these questions they were shouted down by Hani, who categorically stated that the NEC would guide the conference, thus violating the rights of delegates. That is the behaviour of a Politburo member of the Communist Party, typical of Stalinist behaviour rooted in the ANC. It is unfortunate that the ANC has been under such men, lawyers who courageously fought against Apartheid brutality but on the contrary practised this brutality against their political opponents. Fear and intimidation reigned in the conference.
The ANC Security (Mbokodo) was and is still above the law. It has killed, tortured and maimed innocent cadres for smoking dagga [marijuana] and drinking liquor from Angolan villages, claiming that they were doing the work of the enemy. It is important to remember that the Apartheid regime never killed anyone for smoking dagga, but the ANC did, all under the cover of securing the Revolution. In doing this it had the protection of tried and tested O.R. Tambo. No security officer was ever put on trial or questioned for killing. People were killed under the umbrella of securing the ANC. To question or ask for clarification on the behaviour of security could lead one to Quatro [officially, Camp 32]. Talking about the need for holding a conference was only in whispers."

I-AfriForum kanye ne-Limamlimi Farmers’ Association (LiFA) bahlanganyela ukuqinisekisa ubunikazi benarha
artikels.afriforum.co.za/en/…
I-AfriForum kanye ne-Limamlimi Farmers’ Association (LiFA) yendawo kaMasipala wangeThembisile Hani bavumelene ukusebenzisana ukuqinisekisa ubunikazi bendawo yabalimi bezamabhizinisi, abasakhulako nabancani endaweni. Lokhu kulandela umhlangano hlangana nehlangano yamalungelo wobuntu nehlangano yabalimi, lapho abalimi baveza khona iintjhijilo zokuba nenarha abaqalene nazo.
Imisebenzi yezemayini engasisemthethweni, ukuthunjwa kwamaplasi begodu, khulukhulu, ukubhalelwa komNyango wezokuLima, ukuThuthukiswa kweeNdawo zemaKhaya, iHlabathi nezeBhoduluko leMpumalanga ukunikela ngeemvumelwano zokuqatjha zesikhathi eside kungenye yeentjhijilo eziqakatheke khulu eziqalene nabalimi. Ukusungulwa kwe-Communal Property Associations (CPAs) kanye nokwabiwa kwendawo okungabonakaliko nokuthandabuzekako kuma-CPA la, indawo ebegade isetjenziswa begodu ihlala abalimi, kusongela ukusebenza kwemisebenzi yokulima begodu sele kuholele ebudloveni.
“Njengabalimi, siragela phambili nokuqalana neentjhijilo ezikulu eziphathelene nokuphatha inarha. Ukubhalelwa komNyango ukuphetha iimvumelwano zokuqatjha zesikhathi eside nathi, nofana, lapho kufanele khona, ukunikela ngemitlolo yobunikazi, kwenza kube budisi khulu kithi ukuthola imali nokutjala imali emisebenzini yethu yokulima. Lokhu kuyatshwenyeka khulu ngombana ezinye zeemvumelwano zethu zokuqatjha zangaphambilini bezifaka hlangana inketho yokuthenga inarha. Inengi labalimi bethu nemindeni yabo sele bahlala emaplasini la begodu balima inarha iminyaka eminengi, okwenza bona kube budisi ukuzwisisa bona kubayini umNyango uragela phambili nokunqabela abalimi abanengi isikhathi eside. Sitshwenyekile godu ngombono wokobana iimvumelwano zokuqatjha, izinto ezifakwako kwezokulima nokufikelela ekusekeleni ngeemali, okufakahlangana imali, iimali zentuthuko kanye namathuba wemalimboleko yezokulima, kesinye isikhathi kusetjenziswa ziimphathiswa zomNyango njengendlela ‘yomvuzo’, kunokobana ziphathwe ngendlela efaneleko, esobala nesemthethweni. Lokhu kudala ubungozi obukhulu bokukhetha, ukusebenzisa kumbi amandla kanye nekohlakalo ekwabiweni kwendawo yokuhlala nokusekelwa kwezokulima. Njenge-LiFA, sithatha umthwalo wokulungisa iintjhijilo zokuba nenarha begodu sikhuthazwa ukusebenzisana ne-AfriForum ekulandeleleni isisombululo esilungileko nesimemeko,” kutjho uKurhula Maluleka, iSekela likaNobhala-Zombelele we-LiFA.
“Kusemtarini bona umNyango awukaqakatheki khulu ngokuvikela abalimi ebunikazini bendawo, nanyana kunezitatimende ezenziwe ngurhulumende odoswa phambili yi-ANC malungana nalokhu. UmNyango uthi iinkontileka angeze zaphethwa nabalimi laba, kodwana iinkontileka sele zenziwe nabambalwa babo. Kuyacaca bona lokhu akuphathwa ngokuya kwemigomo yesenzo sokuphatha esilungileko. Ukukhiqizwa kwezokulima okusimemeko, okuzuzisako kanye nokwakhiwa kwenotho yesikhathi eside kuyame ekuvikelekeni kobunikazi benarha. Kulilungelo ku-AfriForum ukusebenzisana ne-Limamlimi ukusiza ukuqinisekisa ukuqiniseka kwabalimi,” kutjho uBarend Uys, iNhloko yobudlelwano bamasiko nokusebenzisana e-AfriForum.
Ubuzinzolwazi bazo zoke iintjhijilo eziqalene nabalimi endaweni le buyahlanganiswa, ngemva kwalokho kuzokuthathwa amagadango aragela phambili yi-AfriForum ne-LiFA.

AfriForum en die Limamlimi-boerevereniging vat hande om grondsekerheid te verseker
artikels.afriforum.co.za/afr…
AfriForum en die Limamlimi-boerevereniging in die Thembisile Hani Plaaslike Munisipaliteit-gebied het besluit om saam te werk om grondsekerheid vir kommersiële, opkomende en kleinboere in die gebied te verseker. Dit volg op ’n vergadering tussen die burgerregteorganisasie en die boerevereniging waartydens boere hul grondsekerheid-uitdagings verduidelik het.
Onwettige mynaktiwiteite, kaping van plase en veral nie-toekenning van langtermyn-huurkontrakte deur die Mpumalanga Departement van Landbou, Landelike Ontwikkeling Grond- en Omgewingsake is van die belangrikste uitdagings wat boere in die gesig staar. Die totstandbringing van gemeenskaplike eiendomsverenigings (GEVs) en die ondeursigtige en twyfelagtige toekenning van grond, wat deur boere benut en bewoon is, aan die GEVs bedreig die lewensvatbaarheid van boerderye en het al tot geweld aanleiding gegee.
“As boere word ons steeds gekonfronteer met ernstige uitdagings rakende grondbesit. Die departement se versuim om behoorlike langtermyn-huurooreenkomste met ons te sluit, of – waar toepaslik – eiendomsaktes te voorsien, maak dit vir ons uiters moeilik om finansiering te verkry en behoorlik in ons boerderybedrywighede te belê. Dit is veral kommerwekkend omdat sommige van ons vorige huurooreenkomste ’n opsie ingesluit het om die grond aan te koop. Baie van ons boere en hul gesinne woon al dekades lank op hierdie plase en bewerk die grond; daarom is dit moeilik om te verstaan waarom die departement steeds aan die meerderheid boere veilige, langtermyn-besitreg weier. Ons is ook bekommerd oor die indruk dat huurooreenkomste, landbou-insette en toegang tot finansiële steun – insluitend toelaes, ontwikkelingsbefondsing en geleenthede vir landboulenings – soms deur beamptes van die departement as ’n soort ‘beloning’ gebruik word, eerder as om deur middel van ’n regverdige, deursigtige en wettige proses bestuur te word. Dit skep ’n ernstige risiko vir begunstiging, magsmisbruik en moontlike korrupsie by die toekenning van grondbesit en landbousteun. As Limamlimi-boerevereniging neem ons verantwoordelikheid om hierdie uitdagings rakende grondbesit aan te roer, en ons is positief daaroor om saam met AfriForum te werk aan ’n regverdige en volhoubare oplossing,” sê Kurhula Maluleka, adjunk-sekretaris-generaal van die Limamlimi-boerevereniging.
“Dit is duidelik dat die departement nie ernstig is daaroor om grondsekerheid vir die boere te verseker nie, ten spyte van die ANC-geleide regering se uitsprake in hierdie verband. Die departement beweer dat kontrakte nie met die boere gesluit kan word nie, terwyl daar wel kontrakte met enkele boere gesluit is. Dit is duidelik dat hier nie ingevolge die beginsels van regverdige administrasie opgetree word nie. Volhoubare, winsgewende landbouproduksie en langtermyn welvaartskepping is afhanklik van grondsekerheid. Dit is vir AfriForum ’n voorreg om met Limamlimi saam te werk om sekerheid vir die boere te bekom,” sê Barend Uys, hoof van Interkulturele verhoudings en samewerking by AfriForum.
’n Databasis van al die uitdagings wat boere in die gebied in die gesig staar word opgestel waarna verdere stappe deur AfriForum en Limamlimi geneem sal word.

AfriForum and Limamlimi Farmers’ Association (LiFA) join forces to secure land tenure
artikels.afriforum.co.za/en/…
AfriForum and the Limamlimi Farmers’ Association (LiFA) of the Thembisile Hani Local Municipality area have agreed to work together to secure land tenure for commercial, emerging and small-scale farmers in the area. This follows a meeting between the civil rights organisation and the farmers’ association, during which farmers outlined the land tenure challenges they face.
Illegal mining activities, farm hijackings and, in particular, the Mpumalanga Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Land and Environmental Affairs’ failure to award long-term lease agreements are among the most significant challenges facing farmers. The establishment of Communal Property Associations (CPAs) and the opaque and questionable allocation of land to these CPAs, land that has been used and occupied by farmers, is threatening the viability of farming operations and has already led to violence.
“As farmers, we continue to face serious challenges relating to land tenure. The Department’s failure to conclude proper long-term lease agreements with us, or, where appropriate, provide title deeds, makes it extremely difficult for us to secure financing and properly invest in our farming operations. This is particularly concerning because some of our previous lease agreements included an option to purchase the land. Many of our farmers and their families have lived on these farms and cultivated the land for decades, making it difficult to understand why the Department continues to deny the majority of farmers secure, long-term tenure. We are also concerned by the impression that lease agreements, agricultural inputs and access to financial support, including grants, development funding and agricultural loan opportunities, are sometimes being used by Department officials as a form of ‘reward’, rather than being administered through a fair, transparent and lawful process. This creates a serious risk of favouritism, abuse of power and possible corruption in the allocation of land tenure and agricultural support. As LiFA, we are taking responsibility for addressing these land tenure challenges and are encouraged to work with AfriForum in pursuing a fair and sustainable resolution,” says Kurhula Maluleka, Deputy Secretary-General of LiFA.
“It is clear that the Department is not serious about securing land tenure for farmers, despite the statements made by the ANC-led government in this regard. The Department claims that contracts cannot be concluded with these farmers, yet contracts have in fact been concluded with a few of them. It is evident that this is not being handled in accordance with the principles of just administrative action. Sustainable, profitable agricultural production and long-term wealth creation depend on land tenure security. It is a privilege for AfriForum to work alongside Limamlimi to help secure this certainty for farmers,” says Barend Uys, Head of Intercultural relations and cooperation at AfriForum.
A database of all the challenges facing farmers in the area is being compiled, following which further steps will be taken by AfriForum and LiFA.

Gesamentlike inheemseveldbokprojek betree volgende kommersialiseringsfase
artikels.afriforum.co.za/ges…
Die inheemseveldbok-inkubasieprojek wat AfriForum, Saai en KgosiGabo Moroka van die Barolong Boo Seleka van Thaba’Nchu in Mei 2024 van stapel gestuur het, het in die eerste week van September 2026 ’n nuwe fase op die reis na kommersialisering betree. Dié boerdery op die plaas Blijdskap, wat handel dryf as K.G.M. Farming, het verlede week vir die eerste keer deelgeneem aan Vleissentraal se veiling in Kimberley en die Inheemseveldbokgenootskap se jaarlikse nasionale veiling in Bloemfontein. Altesaam 33 ramme en ses ooie is in onderskeidelik Kimberley en Bloemfontein verkoop, terwyl ’n stoetram ook tydens die nasionale veiling aangekoop is. Die ram is aangekoop met die doel om ’n volwaardige inheemseveldbokstoet te vestig.
Kgosi Gabo Moroka gaan ook in die komende week, in aanloop tot die jaarlikse volksvergadering van die kultuurgemeenskap op Saterdag 12 September, altesaam tien ramme uit die inkubasieprojek aan nedersettings binne die gemeenskap skenk met die oog op die verbetering van bokgenetika in die gebied. Landbou-ontwikkeling is een van die sleutelpilare van die Barolong Boo Seleka se ekonomiese ontwikkelingsplan en die inkubasieprojek en verspreiding van ramme met beter genetika is deel van dié plan. AfriForum en Saai is by landbou-ontwikkeling in die gebied betrokke deur hul landbou-ontwikkelingsinkubator, Resilient Regenerative Agricultural Initiative (RRAIN).
“Ek is baie dankbaar vir die vordering wat ons maak met die kommersialisering van die boerdery. Dit is ’n voorreg om die belofte wat ek aan die gemeenskap gemaak het oor die verbetering van genetika uit hierdie projek die week gestand te kan doen. Die enigste manier waarop ons volk die mooi toekoms sal verkry wat ons graag wil hê, is deur ons selfstandigheid te versterk en dié toekoms self te bou. Landbouprojekte soos hierdie, wat ons in vennootskap met ander rolspelers aanpak, is een van die praktiese dinge wat ons doen om dit reg te kry. Ons is dankbaar teenoor ons Hemelse Vader vir die seëninge uit Sy hand,” sê Kgosi Moroka.
“Ons deelname aan die nasionale veiling was vir ons as projekspan baie waardevol. Ons het die geleentheid gekry om bande te smee met die land se grootste telers en kon ook waardevolle insette kry om hierdie projek na ’n nuwe vlak te neem. Dit was vir ons ’n goeie leerskool en ons is baie opgewonde oor die kuddeverbeteringspotensiaal van die stoetram wat ons aangekoop het,” sê Nantes Kelder, nasionale projekkoördineerder van Interkulturele verhoudings en samewerking by AfriForum.
“Landbou bied ’n unieke geleentheid aan landelike gemeenskappe om deur kommersialisering welvaart te skep. Saai is dankbaar om deur ons betrokkenheid by hierdie projek ’n positiewe verskil te maak,” sê Leon Lourens, ontwikkelingskoördineerder van Saai.
“Ek geniet dit baie om hierdie bokboerdery te bestuur, selfs al is dit soms uitdagend. Ek fokus daarop om die boerdery te bedryf en uit te bou sodat dit winsgewendheid kan bereik. Ek is trots op die prestasie van die boerdery, maar besef dat daar nog baie werk vir ons voorlê. Die toekoms van die land is in die hande van jongmense. Ek hoop dat ek ook deur hierdie boerdery ander jongmense wat deel van tradisionele gemeenskappe is sal inspireer om ’n verskil deur landbou te maak en vir hulself ’n toekoms daardeur te bou,” sê Motlotlegi Motshabi, bestuurder van Kgosi Moroka Farming.

Joint indigenous veld goat project enters next phase of commercialisation
artikels.afriforum.co.za/en/…
The indigenous veld goat incubation project, launched by @AfriForum, Saai and Kgosi Gabo Moroka of the Barolong Boo Seleka of Thaba’Nchu, in May 2024, entered a new phase on its journey towards commercialisation in the first week of September 2026. The farming enterprise on the farm Blijdskap, trading as K.G.M. Farming, took part for the first time last week in the Vleissentraal auction in Kimberley, as well as the Indigenous Veld Goat Breeders’ Society’s annual national auction in Bloemfontein. In total 33 rams and six ewes were sold in Kimberley and Bloemfontein respectively, while a stud ram was also purchased at the national auction, with the aim of establishing a fully-fledged indigenous veld goat stud.
In the coming week, ahead of the cultural community’s annual general meeting on Saturday, 12 September, Kgosi Gabo Moroka will also donate ten rams from the incubation project to settlements within the community, with a view of improving goat genetics in the area. Agricultural development is one of the key pillars of the Barolong Boo Seleka’s economic development plan, and the incubation project, together with the distribution of rams with improved genetics, forms part of this plan. AfriForum and Saai are involved in agricultural development in the area through their agricultural development incubator, the Resilient Regenerative Agricultural Initiative (RRAIN).
“I am deeply grateful for the progress we are making in commercialising this farming enterprise. It is a privilege to be able to honour, this week, the promise I made to the community regarding the improvement of genetics through this project. The only way our people will achieve the beautiful future we dream of is by strengthening our self-sufficiency and building that future ourselves. Agricultural projects such as this one, undertaken in partnership with other stakeholders, are among the practical steps we are taking to make this happen. We are grateful to our Heavenly Father for the blessings from His hand,” says Kgosi Moroka.
“Our participation in the national auction was extremely valuable for us as a project team. It gave us the opportunity to network with the country’s leading breeders, and we were also able to gain valuable input to help take this project to the next level. It was a real learning experience for us, but we are very excited about the livestock improvement potential of the stud ram we purchased,” says Nantes Kelder, National Project Coordinator of Intercultural relations and cooperation at AfriForum.
“Agriculture offers rural communities a unique opportunity to create prosperity through commercialisation. Saai is grateful, through our involvement in this project, to be able to make a positive difference,” says Leon Lourens, Development Coordinator at Saai.
“I really enjoy managing this goat farming enterprise, even though it can be challenging at times. My focus is on running the farm and growing it to the point where it becomes profitable. I’m proud of what the farm has achieved so far, but I know there is still a great deal of work ahead of us. The future of this country lies in the hands of young people. I hope that, through this farming enterprise, I can also inspire other young people from traditional communities to make a difference through agriculture and to build a future for themselves in this way,” says Motlotlegi Motshabi, manager of Kgosi Moroka Farming.

AfriForum en Umbumano Lwezinduna eis dringende optrede ná moord op induna en sy vrou
artikels.afriforum.co.za/afr…
AfriForum en die tradisionele leierskap belange-organisasie Umbumano Lwezinduna doen ’n dringende beroep op die KwaZulu-Natal provinsiale regering om daadwerklik op te tree om die veiligheid van tradisionele leiers, en spesifiek izinduna (hoofmanne), ernstig op te neem. Dit volg op die moord van induna (hoofman) Mxolisi Patrick Mwelase en sy eggenote, Thandekile Joyce Mwelase van die Inadi Tradisionele Gemeenskap in die Umgungundlovu-distrik. Induna Mwelase is op 30 Julie 2026 in sy winkel geskiet en het op 16 Augustus aan sy wonde beswyk, terwyl sy eggenote op 2 Augustus in hul huis doodgeskiet is. Niks is uit induna Mwelase se winkel geneem nie.
“Meer as 60 izinduna (hoofmanne) en 6 amakhosi (senior tradisionele leiers) is sedert 2019 in KwaZulu-Natal vermoor. Dit kan nie so aangaan nie, tradisionele leiers leef in vrees en dit word onuithoudbaar. Geen amptenaar van die provinsiale regering of enige politieke party het ’n woord gesê oor die moord op indunaMwelase en sy eggenote nie, en geen woord van vertroosting of hulp is aan die gebroke familie aangebied nie. Dit is opmerklik dat ampsdraers en politici hulself oombliklik in die openbaar uitspreek en dringende optrede eis wanneer politieke raadslede vermoor word, maar nie ’n woord rep wanneer tradisionele leiers vermoor word nie. Sake is by die SAPD gemaak, maar die familie kry nie enige terugvoer nie,” sê ndunankuluPhakamani Dlamini, tesourier-generaal en waarnemende sekretaris van Ubumbano Lwezinduna.
“AfriForum is besorg oor die impak wat die moord op tradisionele leiers en ook onregmatige inmenging in tradisionele leierskap op stabiliteit in landelike gebiede het. AfriForum het al verskeie skrywes aan die premier van KwaZulu-Natal, Thami Ntuli, gerig oor onregmatige optrede teen tradisionele leiers en ook die rig van ’n vuurwapen op ’n induna. Die gebrek aan antwoorde en optrede maak dit duidelik dat die premier en sy provinsiale regering nie die veiligheid van tradisionele leiers en die stabiliteit van tradisionele gemeenskappe as belangrik ag nie,” sê Barend Uys, hoof van Interkulturele verhoudings en samewerking by AfriForum.
AfriForum en Umbumbano Lwezinduna het ná samesprekings besluit om saam te werk rondom die versterking van stabiliteit en veiligheid in landelike gebiede en die beskerming van tradisionele leierskap as kulturele instelling.
“Dit gaan bitter swaar met die gemeenskappe wat ons dien. Onregmatige inmenging in tradisionele leierskap en die gevolglike spanning oor leierskapsposisies lei tot lewensverlies. Daar is ook kwessies rondom mynbou-aktiwiteite en grondgebruik vir besigheidsdoeleindes. Izinduna wat in belang van hul gemeenskappe optrede word geteiken. Mense word toenemend huiwerig om as izinduna te dien, omdat hulle oortuig is dit is te gevaarlik,” sê Dlamini.
“Die Wes-Kaapse parlement het onlangs besluit om ’n ad hoc komitee in die lewe te roep om geweldsmisdaad in die provinsie te ondersoek. Indien die politieke wil om tradisionele leiers te beskerm bestaan, sal die KwaZulu-Natalse wetgewer met dringendheid ’n ad hoc komitee in die lewe roep om die moord op tradisionele leiers en inmenging in tradisionele leierskap te ondersoek. Die optrede van die regering sal vir ons wys of die lewens van leiers vir hulle belangrik is of nie,” sluit Uys af.
Die saaknommer van die moord op induna Mxolisi Mwelase is CAS 988/07/2026 en dié van sy eggenote Thandekile Mwelase is CAS26/08/2026.

AfriForum and Umbumbano Lwezinduna demand urgent action following the murder of induna and his wife
artikels.afriforum.co.za/en/…
AfriForum and the traditional leadership interest organisation Umbumbano Lwezinduna are calling on the KwaZulu-Natal provincial government to urgently take decisive action and treat the safety of traditional leaders, and izinduna (headmen) in particular, with the seriousness it demands. This follows the murder of induna (headman) Mxolisi Patrick Mwelase and his wife, Thandekile Joyce Mwelase, of the Inadi Traditional Community in the Umgungundlovu District. Induna Mwelase was shot in his shop on 30 July 2026 and succumbed to his wounds on 16 August, while his wife was shot dead in their home on 2 August. Nothing was taken from induna Mwelase’s shop.
“More than 60 izinduna (headmen) and six amakhosi (senior traditional leaders) have been murdered in KwaZulu-Natal since 2019. This cannot go on — traditional leaders are living in fear, and the situation has become unbearable. Not a single provincial government official or political party has said a word about the murder of induna Mwelase and his wife, and no word of comfort or offer of assistance has reached the grieving family. It is striking how quickly officials and politicians speak out in public and demand urgent action when political councillors are murdered, yet say nothing when traditional leaders are killed. Cases have been opened with the SAPS, but the family has received no feedback whatsoever,” says ndunankulu Phakamani Dlamini, treasurer-general and acting secretary of Umbumbano Lwezinduna.
“AfriForum is deeply concerned about the impact that the murder of traditional leaders, as well as unlawful interference in traditional leadership, is having on stability in rural areas. AfriForum has already sent several letters to the Premier of KwaZulu-Natal, Thami Ntuli, regarding unlawful action taken against traditional leaders, including an incident in which a firearm was pointed at an induna. The lack of any response or action makes it clear that the Premier and his provincial government do not regard the safety of traditional leaders and the stability of traditional communities as a priority,” says Barend Uys, Head of Intercultural relations and cooperation at AfriForum.
Following discussions, AfriForum and Umbumbano Lwezinduna have agreed to collaborate to strengthen stability and safety in rural areas and to protect traditional leadership as a cultural institution.
“Things have become extremely difficult for the communities we serve. Unlawful interference in traditional leadership, and the resulting tension over leadership positions, is costing lives. There are also ongoing issues around mining activities and land use for business purposes. Izinduna who act in the interests of their communities are being targeted. People are becoming increasingly reluctant to serve as izinduna, because they are convinced it has simply become too dangerous,” says Dlamini.
“The Western Cape parliament recently resolved to establish an ad hoc committee to investigate violent crime in the province. If the political will to protect traditional leaders truly exists, the KwaZulu-Natal legislature will urgently establish an ad hoc committee to investigate the murder of traditional leaders and interference in traditional leadership. The government’s response will show us whether the lives of these leaders actually matter to them,” concludes Uys.
The case number for the murder of induna Mxolisi Mwelase is CAS 988/07/2026, and that of his wife, Thandekile Mwelase, is CAS 26/08/2026.

“I-AfriForum ishaqekile ngomthelela wokubulawa kwabaholi bomdabu, kanye nokugxambukela ngokungemthetho kwezobuholi bomdabu, okuthinta uzinzo ezindaweni ezisemakhaya. I-AfriForum isithumele izincwadi ezimbalwa kuNdunankulu waKwaZulu-Natali, uThami Ntuli, mayelana nesenzo esingekho emthethweni okubhekiswe kubabaholi bomdabu, okumbandakanya isigameko lapho isibhamu saqondiswa khona kule nduna. Ukungaphenduli noma ukungathathwa kwesinyathelo kuveza ngokusobala ukuba uNdunankulu nohulumeni wesifundazwe sakhe abakubeki eqhulwini ukuphepha kwabaholi bomdabu nozinzo lwemiphakathi yamasiko,” kusho uBarend Uys, INhloko yezoBudlelwano bamaSiko nokuSebenzisana e-AfriForum.
Ukulandela izingxoxo, i-AfriForum kanye noBumbano Lwezinduna bavumelene ngokusebenzisana ukusimamisa uzinzo nokuphepha nobuholi bomdabu njengesikhungo samasiko.
“Izinto zithanda ukuba lukhuni kakhulu emiphakathini esiyisebenzelayo. Ukugxambukela ngokungethetho kwezobuholi bomdabu, kanye nomphumela wokungqubuzana ngokwezikhundla zobuholi, kuthatha izimpilo zabantu. Kuphinde kube nokuqhubeka kwezindaba ezimayelana nezokumbiwa nezokusetshenziswa komhlaba. Kuqondanwa nezinduna ezisebenzela imiphakathi. Abantu bayaqhubeka nokuthandabuza ekubeni yizinduna, ngoba bakholwa ukuthi kuyingozi kakhulu,” kusho uDlamini.
“Iphalamende eliseNtshonalanga neKapa lisanda kuxazulula ukusungulwa kwekomidi lesikhashana ukuphenya amacala odlame esifundazweni. Uma intshisekelo yokuvikela abaholi bomdabu ikhona ngempela, isishayamthetho sakwaKwaZulu-Natali sizosungula ngokushesha ikomidi lesikhashana ukuphenya ukubulawa kwabaholi bomdabu nanokugxambukela kwezobuholi bomdabu. Impendulo evela kuhulumeni izosikhombisa ukuba izimpilo zalaba baholi zisemqoka yini kubona,” kuphetha oka-Uys.

A network of mutually supportive cultural communities, founded on the principles of mutual recognition and respect, is slowly but steadily creating an enabling environment that assists communities to help themselves to thrive,” said Barend Uys, Head of Intercultural relations and cooperation at AfriForum.
“We hope that this project will also inspire other stakeholders from the private and public sectors to become involved in community development initiative such as this one,” closes Kgosi Masibi.
AfriForum and the Batlharo Boo Tokwana Ba Ga Masibi jointly erected Setswana sign boards welcoming community members and travellers to the area of the community in September 2024.
