Of course, this was part of a broader evil objective which was to ridicule, belittle and humiliate black people, their cultural systems and self determination. It should therefore not be surprising that those who are trying to prick holes in this important piece of legislation were nowhere to be found within the structures and people who waged the struggle against apartheid. This then places them amongst the architects and beneficiaries of a system that oppressed the black majority and made them aliens in their country of birth. Who are they to turn around and preach to us about the mechanics of democracy?
