ANC MUST ADMIT THAT ORDINARY BLACKS AND COLOUREDS ARE NOT BENEFICIARIES OF THE DEMOCRATIC DISPENSATION

The ANC must admit that ordinary Blacks and Coloureds are not beneficiaries of the democratic dispensation that came into being in 1994.

The ANC has always regarded Blacks and Coloureds who are not its members as sell-outs who are aligned to the erstwhile apartheid regime.

The ANC prefers foreigners to local Blacks and Coloureds.

Some political activists who skipped the country in fear of relentless persecution by the apartheid security forces were tortured at Quadro camp in Angola by former ANC leaders who have now established their own political parties.

The said political activists were treated with suspicion and tortured by those leaders whose commitment to the ANC is questionable today because those self-same leaders were themselves in cahoots with the apartheid regime and spying for the white man.

The late Mamelodi political activist Kanakana Matsena was tortured and poisoned upon arrival at the ANC’s Quadro camp in exile in Angola.

He returned home at the advent of democracy a bitter man and when he eventually died, the only ANC official who attended his funeral was Father Mkhatshwa, the former Mayor of the City of Tshwane Municipality.

More political activists would have skipped the country back then but didn’t do so as they were warned that the prominent ANC leader would send them to the notorious Quadro camp and accuse them of being agents of the apartheid regime and subsequently torture them.

Now under the democratic dispensation the suspicion regarding ordinary Blacks and Coloureds who are not ANC members still persists.

The white man built four-roomed houses for Blacks and Coloureds but the ANC presently builds two-roomed RDP houses for the above-mentioned race groups.

These RDP houses don’t accord conjugal privacy to the married man and wife living therein because they have to share the small space with their children.

There’s one former ANC leader who shouts “African Renaissance” at any given opportunity yet during his term as president he couldn’t build toilets for school children in Limpopo and as a result 5-year-old schoolboy Michael Komape fell into a pit toilet and drowned in the faeces therein.

Municipal and government employees are replete with incompetent friends and relatives of ANC members.

They get employed in these positions because their fathers and uncles were members of the ANC during the struggle against apartheid.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup tournament was touted as belonging to the continent of Africa and not South Africa per se, yet billions of rand were spent by the government to host this tournament which has not benefited ordinary South African footballers up to now.

Tenders are awarded to those who have connections to the ANC.

Ordinary Blacks and Coloureds are regarded as voting cattle and in appropriate.

The ANC and its members think that by virtue of having ran away into exile where many of them indulged in womanising and drinking cheap brandy brought about the liberation of South Africa from apartheid.

They deliberately ignore the efforts made by United Democratic Front (UDF) activists who fought against the apartheid soldiers with bare hands, bricks, tyres and petrol bombs.

The United Nations Declaration of Human Rights makes it clear that foreigners must be sent to refugee camps so that they would not compete with local citizens for job opportunities, yet the ANC government saw it fit to open borders and let foreigners into this country so that they can compete and outclass Blacks and Coloureds in terms of job opportunities.

To the ANC government we are sell-outs who connived with the apartheid regime and we must be treated with disdain and utter suspicion.

The lacklustre service delivery given to us is regarded as a mere favour because essentially ordinary Black and Coloreds are their enemies; worse than the apartheid regime.
