Former Pres. De Klerk: 'African National Congress has made South Africa more racist'
|
[Times Live] After 26 years South Africa is more divided than ever before.
Pikers! We've accomplished record 'division' in less than two presidential terms.
This was the view expressed by former president FW de Klerk at a conference held in Cape Town today to commemorate the 26th anniversary of his speech that initiated South Africa's transition into democracy.
"Racism is too much a part of the narrative of political leaders. Politicians including Jacob Zuma must avoid utterances that feed racism which is divisive." His advice to the president was to focus on nation building and develop a "peaceful, positive and constructive co- existence".
Obviously de Klerk does not understand crisis politics and inequality.
"The overwhelming majority of South Africans are not racist," said De Klerk.
An 'overwhelming majority' is made irrelevant by racist congressional caucus law makers.
He said there was no hierarchy of racism in SA, but that the ANC was "guilty of imposing such a hierarchy".
The conference tackles the topic of multiculturalism in South Africa, with renowned struggle icons such as Mathews Phosa, Rhoda Kadalie and former Justice Albie Sachs, engaging on the topic.
