Letter to the minister’s spokesperson
24 October 2012
In the light of Mthethwa’s continued lack of concern with farm murders, AfriForum informed the Minister’s office that the organisation proposed to hold a demonstration in front of the Minister’s office together with the victims of the farm attacks.
During a phone conversation on 23 October 2012 the Minister’s spokesperson, Zweli Mnisi, told AfriForum’s Deputy CEO, Ernst Roets, that he had no knowledge of the complaints about the farm murders. AfriForum subsequently addressed a letter to Mnisi on 24 Oktober 2012, attaching details and documentation on the above actions. The letter was sent to Mnisi’s personal and official email addresses, as provided by him. Although Mnisi had requested the information, he never responded to the letters.
