READER LETTER |Strange that ANC enjoys company of authoritarians

Youth Day on June 16 is “celebrated” ostensibly in commemoration of the youth uprising against the requirement that half the subjects in school were to be taught in Afrikaans. Apparently, there was no objection to the other half of the subjects being taught – not in the scholars’ mother tongue but inWhen Helen Zille stated that “colonialism was not all bad”, there was an earth-shattering public outcry against her as though she had praised colonialism.

When Dingaan instructed his amabuthu to massacre Piet Retief and his team, Retief had just returned from an intensive and dangerous search to retrieve the hundreds or thousands of cattle that had been stolen from Dingaan, not by the Boers, but stolen by another Nguni tribe in the area. Millions of refugees from liberated African countries risk life and limb and paying substantial sums of money are daily crossing the Mediterranean Sea in unsafe rubber boats, seeking refuge in former colonial countries., but ever since then the ANC government is hobnobbing,primarily with authoritarian states and political leaders, while distancing themselves politically from the western democratic countries.
