Zille's tweet on colonialism violates Constitution - Public Protector

[AfricanTech]

Yeah right.

This is the same person who put ANN on all the TVs in her office isn't it?

Useless disgrace to the office of the PP

 

[Knyro]

Actually correct.
I don't recall any organisations talking about the systematic and wholesale elimination of black people.

"We haven't called for whites to be killed... yet" (Leader of the EFF)

Wouter Basson says "hi".

 

[Solarion]

And if you are Black you can say anything racist you like (EFF), and do state capture, loot and steal with impunity (ANC).

And to then point the finger at white monopoly capital with the other hand that's not greasy with gravy.

 

[Vrotappel]

HZ is probably the only non-black leader left in DA who fought against apartheid and she should have known better not to tweet like this but I hope everyone moves on from one of her rare lapses of judgement.

She has got a mind, she can speak it.

Wouter Basson says "hi".

Sorry which party is he a leader of?

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

Wouter Basson says "hi".

The brilliant doctor who was acquitted by a court of law?

 

[grok]

What the Public Protector is saying is that if you are white, you are not allowed to talk about the past in any way, shape or form.

Like we need her permission to have our say, lol..

She should cognitize how we removed Zuma, the leader of the mighty ANC, without even raising a single gun.

If the Gupta lackey isn't careful, she might just be next..

Other than the South African government, they just call it a woman's right to choose.

The PP doesn't realise her own limitations: https://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/...sturbed-at-criticism-of-zille-report-20180613

Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane says she was "shocked" and "disturbed" at the criticism of her most recent report into Western Cape Premier Helen Zille's tweets about colonialism.

Is this an extreme example of the Dunning–Kruger effect?

 

[Knyro]

Sorry which party is he a leader of?

Leaders now?

In any case saying the EFF is more racist than the Nats is laughable.

The brilliant doctor who was acquitted by a court of law?

Aquitted != innocent.

AFAIK lots of terrible people were acquitted during the TRC trials for the sake of reconcilliation.

It's not laughable, it's absolutely true.
Tell me when a nat leader called for someone to cut the throat of blackness. That's what an eff leader is calling for. In his capacity as eff leader.
You're a trifle blinkered my friend

Pfft some hot-air that's never gonna happen. How many of the EFF's threats has actually been followed through to completion? Racist, very. But almost the same as somebody spewing vitiriol online. Very easy to talk smack when you are the opposition with no actual responsibilities.

The age of the Nats on the other hand had very real and lasting consequences for non-white people in SA. It is on that factor that they are far more racist than the EFF.

 

[Sinbad]

So racism is only based on actions and not words, thoughts or intentions...?

Quick, tell penny's lawyer

How can the EFF's threats be carried through if they not in power? Having said that, they do not need to be in power to influence the debate. Like the electoral pressure of UKIP forced the Conservatives to offer a EU referendum in the UK, the EFF are influencing the ANC even more leftwards than they already are. Look at land expropriation for instance or how poor students are going to be funded at universities even though SA can't afford it.

And having been on Twitter before the formation of the EFF, I have definitely seen a huge uptick in anti-white racism online from black South Africans since the formation of the EFF.

Not all their threats require power. How many times have they called on their followers to illegally occupy land?

It's easy to be a radical party and come with all kinds of utopian solutions that'll never actually work. But that's okay because since you're not in power you don't have to actually try and implement them anyway, so you can't fail in the eyes of your supporters.

 

[Knyro]

I explicitly said the EFF is racist. Therefore racism can be based on words.

That’s pretty cool.
