Hon Deputy Speaker, section 1 of the Constitution clearly stipulates that nonracialism is a founding value of our Constitution. This value was entrenched with a 75% majority. Throughout the Freedom Charter, the principle of nonracialism is found. The charter categorically states that all national groups shall be protected by law against insults to their race and national pride.
While this is the case, this weekend 5 000 delegates of the ANC Youth League unanimously elected Julius Malema as their president. In Kimberley he recently said that all whites in South Africa were criminals. He also said that the ANC should forget about minorities and go exclusively for the 75% black vote so that it can change the founding provisions of the Constitution. He is a person who has declared war on white capital, but black capital is just fine. He wants to destroy food security in South Africa, and is on his way to the Union Buildings to confront the President of the Republic. Julius Malema is nothing but a black supremacist and a racist.
The tragedy is that not a single ANC leader or politician has had the guts to reprimand Malema for his racist pronouncements. It was left to an ANC party official to say that the resolutions adopted did not accord with the policy of the ANC, but still not a single word was said on his racist insults to whites and other minorities.
Hon Winnie Mandela has even anointed him as the next Nelson Mandela! The ANC should not be surprised if their target of creating 500 000 jobs per annum does not materialise.
