We, the victims of violence, have been blamed for the very acts that take our lives. Yet you treat the far right with kit gloves, allowing them to publish hit lists when it is a crime to do so. Your police do not protect marchers from gunmen who mow them down, as in Vanderbijlpark. Black lives are cheap, and will remain so as long as apartheid continues to exist. Thousands of us die from TB every year, our children still play in open sewers, and die from preventable diseases.
Education is still a privilege.
Our homes remain the tin shacks and overcrowded townships. And no black South African has the vote. They talk of peace as if wanting peace is pacifism. They paint a picture of us as militant youth, or mindless radicals. They want to present the ANC as the other half of the National Party.
