YCLSA supports the intentions of the Higher Education Bill in pursuit of transformation and is disgusted by the DA's continued protection of white privilege
The Young Communist League of South Africa [uFasimba] is utterly disgusted by the continued promotion of white privilege by the "Democratic Alliance".
The DA is hell-bent on conserving white privilege especially in institutions of higher learning, in particular, universities. Most of the universities in the country are lily white in terms of their academic staff profile and control. They have been resisting transformation. Which is why, 21 years after the dawn of our democratic transition in 1994, historically white universities have still not transformed. Little progress, if any at all, has been made.
Transformation has been moving at snail pace because organisations like the DA and DA-aligned academics such as Belinda Bozzoli, who was based at Wits University before taking her full-time bench in Parliament as DA MP, are advocates of white privilege. The least they want is the status quo to remain. In the extreme; they want our country to go back.
They are the conservatives of the apartheid status quo masquerading as liberals; they are liberals only in so far as they want to lock out the democratically elected government from becoming involved in the economy and from playing meaningful transformational and developmental role. This is also racist, in so far as our democratically elected government is viewed as a black government.
