ANC using land as camouflage to attack white people - Moeletsi Mbeki
"I'm totally unworried about ANC and EFF propaganda on land expropriation. It has nothing to do with land, it's about the ANC losing elections," says political analyst Moeletsi Mbeki.
He was speaking at a Nation of Conversation panel discussion as part of the Nampo Harvest Day in Bothaville.
"This is not about land. It is about the loss of votes by the ANC and its little son, the EFF. They think they can bring back the voters who are abandoning the ANC by attacking the white population. It's an attack on the white citizens of South Africa. They're using this as a camouflage to attack the white population.
"It is supported and reinforced by the famous black racist, Mr [Julius] Malema, who is very eloquent. Malema is actually now leading the ANC's election campaign by attacking white people."
Mbeki added that the party was making a mistake building its election campaign around land as black voters were far more economically literate than they were credited for.
