JOHANNESBURG - FF Plus leader Corne Mulder has come to Afriforum and Solidarity's defense for their utterances of a 'white genocide' in South Africa.

Mulder says they've never said it, but 'certain individuals' and 'organisations' have been peddling the lie for years.

Instead of focusing on the 'negatives', Mulder urges South Africans to focus on the positives of the groups' visit.

He claims the positives are that South African issues and concerns are now before US President Donald Trump.

Afriforum and Solidarity met with US officials on Tuesday. According to reports they're there to secure funding for a separate Afrikaner settlement and community infrastructure in South Africa. They also want the US government to pressure the South African government to change certain policies. 

'It is anyone's right to do so' says Mulder. He's also endorsed the organisations' visit to Washington.
