[Tomo3000]

Western Cape premier Helen Zille has ordered an independent investigation of a document purporting to be an email in which a senior provincial employee uses the derogatory words "******" and "hotnot".

Racist email from DA member 'a hoax'

planted.

the anc sings songs about genocide, but no one was able to dig up any real dirt on the DA to counter the claims, so someone manufactured this.

Ahh, excellent, good work. Case closed then and no need to waste money on an investigation.

 

[duncan1a]

sooo, an email does the rounds and Membathisi Mdladlana think that: ' the document was prima facie evidence of racism."

I know of some Nigerians who want to give him commission for passing money through his account! Oh, and he's won the UK Lottery

"The ANC's interim leader in the province, Membathisi Mdladlana, claimed the document was prima facie evidence of racism."

A random e-mail is a "document"? Ya, the Nigerians will have a field day with this genius.

"I'd like to see all ANC officials take an IQ test and score AT LEAST average (that is, a minimum score of 100). Anyone who doesn't make the grade should be booted from the ANC, as it doesn't make sense that someone with less than average intelligence should have a hand in decision/policy making that affects the country."

I don't expect it's going to have any effect, but oh well, we can only try.

That is SO going to backfire on the ANC

Why do we need to both with an investigation with geniuses like you around?

Pathetic I hope they find the prick that is responsible

For this to have any effect one of the members would need to be able to read ...

No it wont, the email will sudenly dissappear and be unavailable for investigation.

 

[biometrics]

Distraction

Nah, the ANC thinks that EVERYONE is as stupid and competent as they are.

Oops incompetent!

No it wont, the email will sudenly dissappear and be unavailable for investigation.

Or they'll just get an "independent" investigator who is paid by the ANC to give them the answers they want.

How so? Doesn't matter what the investigation uncovers - in a year's time the ANC will be reminding its sheep that the DA is racist because remember that email...

 

[sburrell]

The ANC's interim leader in the province, Membathisi Mdladlana, claimed the document was prima facie evidence of racism.

He also said that after the death of Afrikanse Weerstandsbeweging leader Eugene Terre'Blanche, it was "important that we make sure that we don't make people angry".

He said Zille should show courage and leadership by "slaying the dragon of racism wreaking havoc in your party and threatening to destroy our democracy"

I would look within your own party about racism before citing other political party's.

Um, I'm afraid you'll find it does have an effect but not the one you hoped for. It will be assumed you are white (an assumption I'm afraid may well be accurate) and it will then be used by the ANC to illustrate how racist ALL white people are in assuming that every ANC official is stupid. So thanks!
