DA leader Mmusi Maimane speaks at the unveiling of a new billboard that sees the party evoke the memory of former ANC and state president Nelson Mandela. Picture: Twitter
The Democratic Alliance has unveiled a new billboard claiming a vote for the party would “Honour Mandela’s vision to build One South Africa for All”. “Nelson Mandela knew, better than anyone, the dangers in splintering our society and turning groups of people against each other,” Maimane said. “Nelson Mandela knew that socially and economically we were doomed if we retreated back into the laagers of racial and cultural identity from which we came.“For decades of apartheid and for centuries of colonial rule, this is what allowed people to be oppressed and exploited. By telling people we’re different and that you need to stick with ‘your own’, the unjust system of apartheid was perpetuated.
Mandela who said this...This picture also must be made a billboard
