The Democratic Alliance has turned the Western Cape province into a colonial outpost
After reading the article posted by the leader of the Democratic Alliance Hellen Zille on the Politicsweb, i became convinced that she is a State patient suffering from racial nightmares. Amongst the farmworkers in the Western Cape she and her party see around themselves natives from Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Xhosa, Zulu, Tswana, Pedi, refugees from the Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, Kwazulu Natal, North West, Limpopo, Gauteng, Mphumalanga, Free State and more importantly natives from Khayalitsha and the coloured community from the Cape flats.
With this outrage of irresponsible utterances by a leader of her calibre i am convince that racial chauvinism is inherently constituting the DNA of the Democratic Alliance. In fact Apartheid neo colonialism is perpetuating racial fundamentalism in the Western Cape. The DA is determined to turn the Western Cape province as a colonial outpost. Our immediate task therefore is to liberate the people of the Western Cape from Apartheid neo colonial oppression and exploitation.
What the DA seeks to achieve in the Western Cape reflects a deep seated counter revolutionary effort to undermine the democratic dispensation underway in our country. Our people must correctly locate the cynical role of the DA in the current phase of our transition from the racist Apartheid colonial period to the new conjuncture of our democratic breakthrough. The DA will never advance the best interest and the wishes of the vast majority of the people of our country.
One of our most important revolutionary task is to enhance the level of political consciousness of the working class and more importantly the farm workers in the Western Cape, to help them understand the concrete material conditions they find themselves in. Revolutionary theory is a weapon to any revolutionary movement and ideological contestation is the terrain of struggles. It is therefore our foremost important task to equip the working class at all times with the necessary tools of analysis to appraise the objective and the subjective factors, and the extent to which they impact on our daily struggles for the transformation of our society.
The article posted to politicsweb by its leader Hellen Zille about the farm workers strike is a distortion of true historical facts about the struggles of the working class in our country and the region. Even if we condemn the acts of violence and destruction of our economic infrastructure, the strike action by the heroic farm workers of the Western Cape was a milestone achievement to the struggles of the working class. It has indeed confirmed the historic role of the working class as the most reliable motive force, capable of taking forward our struggles to its eventual end.
