ANC entrenches racism - Boesak
Boesak said the poor people in South Africa had been betrayed by those hungry for power, warning that the situation was like a "time bomb" - "real and ticking".
Johannesburg - Anti-apartheid activist Allan Boesak accused the ruling party on Wednesday evening of entrenching racial hatred instead of preaching tolerance.
“The ANC has succumbed to the subtle but pernicious temptations of ethnic thinking, has brought back the language of ethnicity into the speech of the movement and has, as government, brought back the hated system of racial categorisation,” Boesak told some 2 000 people at a memorial lecture in Cape Town.
He also said affirmative action had in some cases “taken on new forms of racial exclusion, ruthlessly and thoughtlessly throwing overboard the solidarity forged through years of struggle”, the Cape Times reported on Thursday.
