SA: Opposition counter Mbeki’s claims of White Racism re: Crime

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

[Mbeki is a bastard. He likes crime and now wants to smear all whites who worry about crime as racist. He is avoiding the central issue. Jan]

President Thabo Mbeki’s claim that entrenched racism among South Africa’s white community is behind the rising tide of anti-crime campaigns in the country is unreasonable, untenable and “dangerously out of kilter”, say opposition parties.

“Thabo Mbeki has now indelibly defined his presidency as one of the great denialist eras in South African history,” Democratic Alliance safety and security spokesperson Dianne Kohler-Barnard said in a statement on Sunday.

“First he will be remembered as the president who denied the HIV-Aids link. And in the last days of his term of office, he has now stated that he believes that white racists are to blame for this country’s perception of crime.”

She was reacting to Mbeki’s weekly newsletter, published Friday on the ANC Today website, in which the president said a “massive propaganda campaign has been conducted on the issue of crime, in many instances without any regard and respect for the truth”.

“What massive propaganda campaign is it that the president is referring to? A campaign on the issue of crime?” asked Kohler-Barnard.

“Suggesting that the plague of crime infecting this country is merely a figment of racist fulminations is a step too far, and dangerously out of kilter with the feelings of all South Africans.”

In a separate statement on Sunday, Freedom Front Plus leader Pieter Mulder said Mbeki was “totally wrong”.

“The sooner he stops seeking all sorts of reasons for the crime situation, and starts addressing it as a crisis involving all South Africans, the sooner solutions can be found,” he said.

Blaming the situation on racism among the white community was “unreasonable and untenable”, he said. – Sapa
