We have a mayor who is oblivious to the sheer painfulness of this thought - a black citizen believes that by undressing himself naked to defend his house, the officers, who have no regard for his property, will at least show his naked body some respect.
A day later, the now-infamous screengrab of a WhatsApp group message reveals members of the Mayoral Committee show Qolani specifically and all black people of this City in general, the middle finger. Not surprisingly, it’s the mayor’s own political team thereby rubbishing his apology to Mr Qolani and to the citizens of Cape Town.Black landlessness has remained a vexing feature of the South African landscape.
The ANC rushed to enrich the few. The DA rushed to protect the few. There is nothing like feeling you are not a valued part of the political ecosystem - 26 years after you voted to undo the power of that old dysfunctional ecosystem. We can go on changing street and town names and put black faces in places of power. It’s all purely cosmetic. In reality, the dominant ecosystem will reject black people’s appeal for dignity and violate their nakedness over and over again, without care.
