AfriForum granted urgent court interdict to halt R50-million donation to Cuba

Published on

The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria granted Afriforum an urgent interdict, stopping the government’s planned R50 million donation to Cuba.

The lobby group welcomed the judgment, saying it prevented the government’s wasteful expenditure.

In a written judgment to the affected parties, the Court granted the urgent interdict, pending the final outcome of an application to be instituted by AfriForum to review and set aside the decision to donate an amount of R50 million to the Government of Cuba, or the final outcome of proceedings to declare that the donation is unlawful and/or unconstitutional.

AfriForum pledged to continue its fight against outrageous and wasteful expenditure, which is squandering taxpayers’ money.
