#UDF40: DA challenges President Ramaphosa to drop ANC opposition to Race Quotas case
21 August 2023
Speaking at the United Democratic Front’s 40th anniversary event yesterday, President Cyril Ramaphosa’s hypocrisy and insincerity reached new heights when he conceded that Indian, coloured and white citizens feel excluded in South Africa.
Included in his remarks, the President admitted that the ANC has contributed to dividing South Africa along ethnic, racial and gender lines – repeatedly violating the very principle of non-racialism enshrined in the South African Constitution.
I will today write to President Ramaphosa calling on him to instruct his National Minister of Labour, Thulas Nxesi, to withdraw his opposition to the DA’s court case to declare the Race Quotas Act unconstitutional.
If President Ramaphosa truly cares about putting an end to racial division in our country, and if he has indeed had a change of heart, he will begin the process of repealing all race-based legislation which continues to skew access to opportunity.
