AfriForum is a South African non-governmental organisation which mainly focuses on the interests of Afrikaners, a subgroup of the country's white population. AfriForum has been described as a "white nationalist, alt-right, and Afrikaner nationalist group", though this description is rejected by the organisation's leadership.
Established in 2006 to encourage the re-engagement of Afrikaners in the public sphere, it is closely affiliated with the Solidarity trade union, and has attracted significant controversy because of a statement by its leader, Kallie Kriel, that apartheid was not a crime against humanity.
Heidi Beirich of the Southern Poverty Law Center called AfriForum "white supremacists in a 'suit and tie'". AfriForum has rejected this characterization stating that they "flatly deny that they are white supremacists".
