[Here is a fascinating letter from Simon Spooner in Zimbabwe. He is perfectly correct of course – the current S.African Govt is itself racist. But then again, in Government by Deception, I predicted that this Govt is not going to solve racial problems – it will in fact – MAKE THEM WORSE! Jan]

Dear Sir,
I wish to submit the following letter for publication.

The debate on racism is gaining in intensity and yet South Africans seem not to have grasped the point.

From BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) in business to team selection on the sports field, we see racism by regulation as skin colour determines policy.

It is time that the so called “Transformation” lobby and those that practise self policing in BEE, understand that your poilcy is racist and contradictory in itself. This clearly violates the South African Consitution in which is enshrined the very foundation of law to ensure that any racial practice is forbidden.

All South Africans must make a stand now, resort to the law and break this vicious cycle which will only destroy any hopes of a truly race free future where merit will be the criteria.

Two wrongs never make a right!

Yours faithfully,

Simon Spooner
