Announcing Jaco Kleynhans as one of the keynote speakers at the FNC 2026

The Future of Nations Conference is proud to announce that Jaco Kleynhans, Head of International Liaison at Solidarity, will join FNC 2026 as a featured speaker.

Kleynhans represents Solidarity, an organization comprising 200,000 members and functioning as a core component of the broader Solidarity Movement, which includes more than 20 civil society organisations. His professional background is rooted in the study of Communication Science in Cape Town and Pretoria, followed by a tenure as a newspaper editor in the Western Cape. Since joining the communications department of the Solidarity Movement in 2003 and ascending to the role of head of Communication in 2005, he has established himself as a prominent advocate for South African society and minority communities. He currently brings extensive experience in international policy and diplomacy to his work on the global stage.

Beyond policy work, Kleynhans is an active voice in public debate. He hosts the weekly podcast Wêreldwys met Jaco Kleynhans, where he analyzes global events and their impact on South Africa. In 2025, he contributed expert commentary at the Brussels launch of Kristof Slagmulder’s Vlaamse Voetsporen in Zuid-Afrika. He has been featured in major media outlets locally, including News24, Pretoria FM and IOL, and internationally, including Spectrum News in the United States and The European Conservative, discussing farm murders, racialized violence against white minority communities, and community-driven initiatives in education, agriculture, and safety. He has worked on political campaigns in the US and Europe and has worked on the Bush/Chaneycampaign during 2004.

At FNC 2026, Kleynhans will address the challenges of minority persecution, exploring their impact on national cohesion, political stability, and community self-determination. He will also examine the intersections of property rights, decentralization, and cultural preservation, providing insights into governance and the future of nations.

We look forward to welcoming Jaco Kleynhans to FNC 2026 and to the valuable perspectives he will bring to discussions about governance, freedom, and the future of nations.
