Afrikaans author Dan Roodt's Pro-Afrikaans Action Group is set to lose close to R4.2 million for violating the country's exchange control regulations.
Controversial pro-Afrikaans activist Dan Roodt's Pro-Afrikaans Action Group (Praag or Pro-Afrikaanse Aksie Groep) is set to lose nearly R4.2 million in local and foreign currency for violating exchange control regulations.
Roodt, widely known as one of the key proponents of the "white genocide" narrative, pushing the alleged mass murder of Afrikaners in South Africa, has been flagged by the SA Reserve Bank (SARB) for four instances that flouted exchange control regulations.
According to the SARB, Praag’s US$121,303.80 (R1,980,757.62), R1,740,680.69, R443,639.21, and R10,574.18 held in various bank accounts were found to fall foul of exchange control rules.
In terms of the notice and order of forfeiture, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana, under the Exchange Control Regulations, delegated all the functions and/or powers conferred upon the National Treasury and assigned the duties imposed thereunder on the Treasury, to the Governor or Deputy Governors of the SARB.
