Madam Speaker, as we are celebrating the formation of the UDF, about 25 years ago, it must be said that its ideals are far from being a reality. The ANC is paying lip service to the nonracial agenda of the UDF, while it is making use of the same race classification as the apartheid government.
The racist policy of the ANC government behind the facade of transformation has created new levels of racial division and tension amongst all South Africans. South Africa is once again in desperate need of a dynamic force from all sectors of civil society to realise the UDF's dream of a truly nonracial and equal South Africa.
The powers that be have to be challenged by a dynamic movement that would be capable of restoring the moral legitimacy and integrity of the government of the day and to ensure a better life for all and not just the few. Therefore, the NA calls on Professor Allan Boesak to display similar political leadership and bravery, and to initiate a dynamic movement of a truly nonracial and equal South Africa. I thank you.
