To ensure that the ANC would not miss this golden opportunity to show their true colours, excuse the pun, they immediately expressed their concern by insinuating that the Commando was a racist movement which would victimise black residents. The DA responded by informing our ignorant opposition about the fact that the majority of the Commando's members were black and that if we believed that any racial victimisation would take place then such a decision would not have been taken. 10 May. When the question of boom gates was discussed the ANC commented that we were attempting to build little Volkstaats. It was also suggested that the steering committee which was established was not demographically representative enough. I would like to say to our local ANC members that I take exception to their comments and find them to be profoundly racist.
Crime is an issue which affects everyone, regardless of their race.
If they are not willing to look beyond skin colour then we will never be able to combat crime as a unified body. The ANC's constant referral to race is a pathetic attempt to hold onto its decreasing support base. For as long as the current government stays in power we will never see a unified South Africa. Luckily for Midvaal the DA is in control. All rights reserved.
