Open Letter from Karl Cloete concerning Jimmy Manyi, March 2 2011:
In my own View & In my Personal Capacity: Jimmy Manyi on Coloureds in the Western Cape
Comrades
The reason why an apology from a colleague of Jimmy Manyi in the Presidency and an apology from our ANC and subsequent support from the ANCYL for the acceptance of Jimmy's so called apology cannot be appreciated by non racists and democrats alike must be located in the following compelling historical factors;
1. The Khoisan who is said to be the first inhabitants of the most southern point of Africa was attacked, violated, humiliated and annihilated by the colonialists who came to rob and rape our people of their birthright and who literally enslaved our people and in the final analyses chased them out of the Cape Colony. So Jimmy suggests.
2. Colonialism of a Special Type (CST) acknowledges the fact that the subjugation of the "inferior natives" resulted most directly in the alienation and killing of the existence of our people, the language of our people and the culture and traditions of our people and therefore modern day eviction of the descendants of the Khoisan from the entry point of colonialists is no worse than what German Nazi's favored on the humans they placed into concentration camps outside of civilization. So Jimmy suggests.
