Current type of race debate is tearing SA apart
25 January 2016
The ANC is effectively busy ripping the South African community into two separate camps with the way in which the organisation is currently driving their campaign about racism.
Racism, from the side of both black and white, carries the germ that will destroy South Africa and all relationships. That is why all leaders should strongly speak out against it. Leaders largely determine the tone and style of such public debates.
President Mandela proved this in the past. We currently need such leaders from all sides. President Zuma and other leaders are doing the opposite by giving all problems a racial tinge and blaming them on whites.
If the ANC or any other party is busy using racism as a short term election strategy, it is extremely irresponsible and short-sighted because the damage being done to relationships in South Africa in the couple of months in the run up to the elections will take years to repair.
