Racial bean counting reversed

[Tassidar]

Funnily enough, it was the avowedly Africanist City Press which exposed the hypocrisy underlying these complaints about the lack of racial ‘representivity' in the Western Cape government. As it pointed out in an editorial (and news report) on Sunday, the cabinets of Mpumalanga, Eastern Cape, Free State, and North West "are all black [African]. That is hardly representative either, but no one was making an issue of that."

Indeed, the ANC has only appointed two white MECs - both women - in their eight provincial cabinets. In other words, ANC premiers have not appointed a single white man to any of the eighty MEC positions they control. Whites thus make up 2,3% of the provincial cabinets outside of the Western Cape, and white males 0%.

So the DA is just trying to balance out the nation wide White Male quotas?

The question is, how many white people were on the ANC's provincial lists in those provinces?

Ah, but that is the same "excuse" the DA used. So all the cabinets are justified then? Can we move on with the actual governing of this country?
