EFF rejects the DA’s shallow and insensitive comparison of the EFF to Nazis
10 November 2020
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) rejects with contempt and disgust the Democratic Alliance(DA) shallow likening of the EFF to Nazi's, and its comments that the EFF has no business at Brackenfell High School.
The comments. made on the party's website and Twitter Account. are particularly unfortunate in their timing, as the world remembers the horrors of Kristallnacht, on the 9th and 10th of November 1938, where one-hundred Jewish people were murdered by the Nazi regime, and tens of thousands of people were sent to concentration camps.
In the DA's desperation for relevance, and a desire to capture its lost white-voter base, they cheapen the memory of Kristallnacht and the painful memory of the Holocaust. The DA does this in order to stoke swaart-gevaar and to paint black people as a threat. It is an illogical comparison that spits on the memory of one of humanities most painful era.
More ironically. it is the DA's black leader. BonginkosiMadikizela who has been made to take the fall for what is essentially the regressive ideology of the DA. He was used to spew these hateful and insensitive comments, and then made to take responsibility for it.
