Zuma using race card out of desperation - Save SA
11 April 2017
Cape Town – Civil organisation Save SA has criticised President Jacob Zuma’s statements on Monday that marches against him on Friday were racist.
“We have observed in the recent period that the president has, out of desperation, been demonstrating an inclination to invoke the race card in a divisive manner,” Save SA said in a statement.
While addressing crowds at the commemoration of the assassination of Chris Hani on Monday, Zuma said posters at last week's marches displayed beliefs he thought had died in 1994.
He alleged that some posters depicted black people as baboons.
