This argument came to me when the two young white women did their presentation. I realised that the white community in SA would be most comfortable expressing their genuine sentiments about race and racism to fellow whites.
So, when I heard the last president of apartheid SA and former deputy president FW de Klerk argue that apartheid was not a crime against humanity, I was not shocked. Just as the post-World War II period in Germany and Europe at large gave birth to Holocaust denialism, so too has the post-1994 dispensation in SA given birth to apartheid-denialism. White South Africans have been engaged in apartheid-denialism for a long time. It is precisely this fact that has made them resistant to change.
But perhaps most importantly, what the EFF did was to force us to reflect deeply on what democracy means to black people in the absence of justice. The party laid bare the fallacy of reconciliation as what happened in 1994 was a one-sided reconciliation whereby black people were forced to accept an apology that was never even given.
Absolute utter nonsense and cheap race baiting.
Absolute nonsense.
While it would probably be easier to believe you can paint every white person with the same brush - such as that me, a youngish English dude, must have the EXACT same opinion and thoughts as an 80 year old Afrikaans guy, I can guarantee you I do not, and most of us don't.
Fully agree , most of them not all!
Nonsense.

OPINION | De Klerk, time was always going to unmask your truthIt must be disconcerting to be seen for who you are after living in a 'make-believe' world for so long The question is whether the people have and are governing. THe BENEFIT factor. Who fosters the benefit & under which catergory of persons. Is the Freedom Charter a BEE tool with a score card or an Affirmative Action tool that appoints black graduates in key & strategic positions Why are waisting our time fighting De Klerk when cost consultants and Bankers are ripping this economy apart with the s assistance of Compliance Officers and Bankers. Our financial regulators are being controlled. Will the people govern. Why give chase to lizards while crocodiles are inside the river and posing an economic threat to our livestock. De Klerk is a diversion from the economic status quo ante. Let us focus. Banks have been running Apartheid and are running the Gupta Empire. FOCUS PLEASE.
