Hon Speaker, the UCDP is taken aback that, 18 years after the dawn of democracy, there are still Doubting Thomases who feel that the arm of friendship and brotherhood extended in the new democratic order is not enough.
It boggles the mind that in these days some camp was put up in Carolina in Mpumalanga with the sole purpose of indoctrinating white youths to hate black people, who are referred to as "the enemy" in that training. That a camp can be put up to train youth to perpetuate gross, inhumane and sadistic racist tendencies is the last thing the new South Africa would hope for. One wonders whose land it is they are using for these atrocities.
We also have to call into question the motives of parents who send their children to attend the Kommandokorps training. The UCDP contends that this is unacceptable and we call on all leaders across the colour, political and cultural divide to condemn this unbecoming trend. Racial intolerance should be given a wide berth by all who live in South Africa.
The UCDP calls on the SA Human Rights Commission and other related institutions to go deeper into examining this camp and other similar ones that may exist. This country calls on all of us to live side by side as people who love, respect and tolerate one another. I thank you.
