Save South Africa Civic Movement has observed that the level of racism keeps increasing even after 1994.
It was our understanding as blacks that 1994 will bring a new chapter, a chapter where blacks and whites would live in peace and harmony, unfortunately this understanding is one sided, only blacks uphold to the principle of a rainbow nation, but whites continue with their white’s supremacy agenda which bring along the apartheid elements of racism.
Save South Africa Civic Movement would like to state in clear terms that the whites are not ready to live in harmony with blacks in the very land of the blacks.
Black people have been so accommodating and the white Afrikaners have taken advantage of that.
After much contemplating and thorough consulting with the black majority of this country, we were convinced that the people of South Africa indeed demand for the re-opening of the TRC since part one of the TRC failed to address the issues of racism that we find ourselves in at, this juncture.
We must further state that black South Africans have forgiven racists who never asked for forgiveness.
Majority of whites never showed remorse and some even refused to attend TRC in order to clear their conscience.
We are without doubt that even after TRC evil white racists continues with their evil deeds.
Our call for the re-opening of the TRC stems from the recent case of two women in Limpopo who were, killed and their bodies were, given to pigs.
This incident confirms the allegations that farm owners kill the black South African workers and erase the trace.
And we believe that our law enforcers have humongous task and responsibility to investigate farm owners.
We further look back from the year 2000 where a racist and evil Afrikaner farmer tied the legs of Mosoko Rampuru to the back of a farm vehicle and dragged him for several kilometers, eventually dumping the body in the field.
In 2004, Mark Scott-Crossley assaulted Nelson Chisale then after threw him to the lions.
Harry Leicester and his family in 2017 forced Joseph Mona to eat faeces and attempted to drown him in a septic tank on their farm.
Save South Africa Civic Movement also remembers the story of a black man who was, forced by the two evil racists into a coffin.
We further mention the story of a 16-year-old Katlego who was badly, beaten by another evil racist Corrie Pretorius.
We further mention the story of Hartley Sandy Ngoato who was also assaulted and called the K-word while, boating at the Hartebeespoort.
Save South Africa Civic Movement further mentions the likes of Renaldo Gouws from the Democratic Alliance.
This man insulted all South Africans, but the racist DA continued to allocate him a chair in the parliament.
It was after mounting pressure was, directed to the DA that they decided to suspend him.
Save South Africa Civic Movement state that issues of racism and hatred by whites towards the black nation has never stopped; each day there is a racial issue we, therefore, feel that the re-opening of the TRC will give a new direction as to what must happen from here.
We further state unapologetically that racist whites who find it difficult to live in peace with the black people in South Africa must pack their dirty racial attitude and leave our country.
Furthermore, we warn all the racists that it is just a matter of time before the black South Africans, disregard, the deals made during Codesa, and begin to pave a new direction for a future that will be beneficial to the black people of this country.
We are warning you racists!
Black South Africans have been so patient, and the patient is running out.
Blacks have forgiven the whites but those who have been, forgiven never asked for forgiveness and never showed remorse and this is, seen in their everyday attitude towards black people.
Save South Africa Civic Movement, therefore, calls on the President HE Cyril Matamela Ramaphosa to re-open the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in order to deal with racism once, and for all.
