Court halts SA's R50 million donation to Cuba

JOHANNESBURG - The Pretoria High Court has ruled in favour of AfriForum, granting an interdict on South Africa's R50 million donation to Cuba.

The lobby group approached the courts to stop the donation, arguing that South Africa itself is in a strained financial state and is in no position to be assisting other countries. They also cited loans from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to ease the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.But now the court's ruling halts the donation pending the outcome of AfriForum's review application.

Spokesperson Reiner Duvenage said they were now focusing on having the decision for the donation overturned. “There will be a review application, which will be heard in court as well. The date will still be finalised for that and we will definitely make an announcement soon. The review application will then present our arguments vs the respondent’s arguments. Then the case will be heard and it will be determined whether this donation can go ahead or not. We’re strongly optimistic that the court will prevent this donation from being made.

Why even agree to destroy an eco-system. All in the name of capitalism? It shouldn't have been going to court in the first place... South Africa 🌍💔 🇿🇦 And due to this, it's cost hundreds of S.A's jobs for the people that could have been employed for the building of this and then after completion others getting jobs at Amazon!
