The ANC regime’s denial that the group of Afrikaners that has taken up the Trump Administration’s offer to resettle in the US are refugees is semantic subterfuge (The Mercury, May 12).
Complaining that the country’s sovereignty is being undermined and treated with disdain by Trump is risible given how the ANC regime does the bidding of Iran, the extent to which it allows the resources of South Africa to be increasingly foreign-owned owned and the extent to which it has plunged the country into international debt.
What is reality is that whites in this country are hostages to a new form of baaskap and apartheid that marginalises them in terms of 140 different laws and regulations. To use an Afrikaans term, many whites have been reduced to bywoner status.
The latest policy of the ANC regime to demand R100 billion to further compress and tighten its already stifling B-BBEE regulations validates the Trump Administration’s view that whites are being racially persecuted.
It also validates what Cyril Ramaphosa told the late IFP MP Mario Oriani-Ambrosini about the ANC’s strategy to deal with whites. He said it would be like boiling a frog alive by gradually raising the temperature until it was too late to salvage anything. That would involve laws transferring wealth, land and economic power to blacks incrementally until whites lost all they had gained (see p. 211, The Prince and I).
Unfortunately, what the ANC strategists did not take into account is that the corollary of marginalising whites is the impoverishment of blacks. Unemployment, homelessness, dysfunctional government, and collapsing infrastructure, where a basic need like water has to be fetched from a water truck (see The Mercury, May 12) are all the products of ANC misrule.
