In a recent debate, I pointed out one of the major differences between National Party (NP) politicians and ANC politicians. You could hear a pin drop in the audience of about 1000 black business people, entrepreneurs and investors.
Dear Ruda Landman (@RudaLandman1),
In 2003, you narrated and produced a segment called Bloody Harvest for Carte Blanche. It focused on farm murders in South Africa.
You interviewed Gregory Stanton, who heads Genocide Watch. Carte Blanche even flew to Berlin to interview him. He explained in detail what a genocide is and why it could be the case in South Africa.
In 2003, he already stated that South Africa was at Stage 5 out of 8 on the Genocide Watch list. You, as Ruda Landman and as Carte Blanche, then laid out the case for him and showcased various farm murders in South Africa and how the aim was to torture, rape and not steal anything.
May I ask, Ruda, since this interview, thousands more farmers have been brutally murdered with exactly the same modus operandi, and yet now you are the one saying that farm murders are just normal crime.
I would like to know why you feel this way and why, with all the overwhelming evidence confirming what you illustrated in your segment over 23 years ago, you now feel differently and go so far as to call it "normal crime"
WARNING: THE VIDEO IS VERY GRAPHIC, SHOWING VICTIMS OF FARM MURDERS.
You can’t say apartheid is evil, then turn around and practice the same apartheid.
Someone has to break the vicious cycle of evil.
You can’t sing “Nkosi sikelela i South Afrika” at every gathering and exclude others from the economic life of the country on the basis of race.
This has to be the best speech that has come out of South Africa in at least the last decade.
To be frank, I don't think many South Africans have the capacity to understand what @ErnstRoets is really saying. Not because it's complicated, but because it's difficult to envision something you've never experienced. And when an idea challenges the political framework you've grown up with, it's far easier to dismiss it than to genuinely listen.
It's easy to complain. Much harder to suggest solutions to immediate problems.
The delivery is extremely clear and unbiased.
Ernst acknowledges diversity.
He acknowledges strength in diversity.
He acknowledges the problem of central power not just post-94, but also pre-94.
The argument isn't leveled against a party, nor a race.
Ernst isn't attacking people.
He's challenging a system.
Not to take from anyone, but to provide for more.
All economic factors, crime, corruption, maladministration, etc., support everything he says.
Unfortunately...
People will hear a name, pick a side, hear the politics...
BEFORE THEY EVER HEARD THE QUESTION.
Few...
If all white people are guilty for apartheid, by the same logic, all black South Africans are collectively responsible for the crimes, corruption, and failures of the ANC government that followed it.
Trillions looted.
58 murders per day.
Rape capital of the world.
The Marikana Massacre.
33.6% unemployment rate.
66% youth unemployment rate.
Almost 2 decades of rolling blackouts.
Children drowning in pit toilets.
Are you sure you want to play this broad-brush, racialist blame-game, Robyn?
It was an honour for me to deliver a speech to convey a message of congratulations on behalf of @afriforum at the birthday banquet of Morena e Moholo Mota, King of the Batlokoa Ba Mota cultural community in Tsheseng in the Free State. The birthday banquet was also attended by traditional leaders from across South Africa, as well as, among others, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini. The Premier of the Free State Province also attended.
AfriForum has an official mutual recognition and cooperation agreement with the Batlokoa Ba Mota. As part of this agreement, we have a joint agricultural development project. The National House of Traditional and Khoi-San Leaders is also a partner in this project.
