As the ANC Reintroduces Apartheid, Will South Africa Find Their White Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton?
If you look up Apartheid, it is “An official policy of racial segregation formerly practiced in the Republic of South Africa, involving political, legal, and economic discrimination against nonwhites.” That needs to change. It is once again an active practice in South Africa, and it’s worsening.
South Africa’s governing African National Congress (ANC) has drafted amendments to its recently-passed Employment Equity Act that labor experts and opposition parties say will ban “non-black Africans” from employment across most of the economy. …
In some cases, the “target” set for firms employing whites, Indians and people of mixed race is zero percent.
“That means companies cannot employ a single white, Indian or colored person. That’s racist and unconstitutional,” said John Steenhuisen, leader of chief opposition party the Democratic Alliance (DA).
He told The Epoch Times the ANC amendments amounted to “social engineering” and the alliance would fight them in court.
“The latest apartheid-like policy from the ANC is nothing but a ban on giving work to people who the ANC says are not black enough.
The African National Congress is a social-democratic political party. They are National Socialists, so the racism makes sense.
In the post-apartheid era, the ANC continues to identify itself foremost as a liberation movement, although it is also a registered political party. Partly due to its Tripartite Alliance with the South African Communist Party (SACP) and the Congress of South African Trade Unions, it has retained a comfortable electoral majority at the national level and in most provinces, and has provided each of South Africa’s five presidents since 1994.
And now it appears they are the harbingers of a black master race, excluding whites and shades of brown. The political, legal, and economic discrimination of whoever they deem unworthy or unfit. Will it fly, and is it a desperate leap to retain or regain power?
South Africa is considered a dominant-party state. However, the ANC’s electoral majority has declined consistently since 2004, and in the most recent elections – the 2021 local elections – its share of the national vote dropped below 50% for the first time ever.[6] Over the last decade, the party has been embroiled in a number of controversies, particularly relating to widespread allegations of political corruption among its members.
Political corruption in a one-party state dominated by socialists? What are the odds of that, 100%? And the American left can’t possibly be upset. There is no such thing as reverse racism, or so they say. This means, of course, that racism as a concept is not colorblind (another word they hate), but how do they feel about a nation where good white progressives are prohibited not just from working but from benefitting from corruption?
That seems unfair. There are likely plenty of more than capable white race-pimps who could milk the whitey faction for ANC votes if they wanted them. Urban living, crime, stipends, food stamps, lousy medical care. Turn them into vote slaves.
And maybe they will, but if so, who will be South Africa’s white Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton?
We will have to wait and see.
