At a recent Hudson Institute panel, Dr. Corné Mulder of South Africa’s Freedom Front Plus passionately defended his vision for a united South Africa, responding to accusations of clinging to the Apartheid past.
Melvin Foote, head of Constituency for Africa, challenged the panel, suggesting their discomfort with the current Government of National Unity reflected a preference for Apartheid-era policies. Foote questioned what message the delegation conveyed to South Africa’s youth about a diverse, inclusive future.
Mulder firmly rejected these claims, emphasizing his commitment to a “winning nation” for all South Africans, including Afrikaners and other minorities.
Talking about his newborn grandson, Mulder argued that current policies unfairly burden future generations for historical wrongs.
He criticized the government’s economic policies, citing Professor Goumede’s claim that over a trillion rand has enriched a small elite under the guise of black economic empowerment.
Mulder, identifying as a “white African,” called for forward-looking policies to uplift all South Africans, free from outdated ideologies.
