ANC tells black people that white people are the problem

Political Analyst Prince Mashele said that the way the ANC plays politics is to tell black people that white people are the problem.

“Consequently, this has led white people to believe that black people are the problem. It is a classic divide-and-rule strategy,” he added.

Mashele shared his views about the problems in South Africa during a State of the Nation breakfast event, organised by Mike Sham.

He is well-known as a political scientist, analyst, researcher, and author, and for his sharp, provocative commentary on South African politics.

He has worked at prominent research institutes and think tanks, including the Centre for Politics and Research and the Institute for Security Studies (ISS).

In his speech at the State of the Nation breakfast, he slated the ANC, saying that the party caused tremendous damage to South Africa.

One of the damaging things the ANC does, he said, is to pit one race against the other as a divide-and-conquer strategy.

“The ANC tells black people that white people are the problem. Consequently, this has led white people to believe that black people are the problem,” he said.

“When things fall apart, white people say it is because of black people. The ANC tells black people that their conditions are worsening because of white people.”

“As a result, everyone is angry. Meanwhile, the ANC thieves continue to loot and destroy our country.”

Mashele argued that the way to stop this is to isolate those spreading messages of division in South Africa.

“We should let the best of our white and black citizens come together and do politics collectively,” he told delegates.

He added that South African political parties are currently largely organised along racial lines.

“Some disguise this, like the Democratic Alliance, claiming that they are a truly representative party,” he said.

“They say that we should not talk about race. However, we must talk about race. South Africa is a country of white, black, Indian, and coloured people.”

“If you cannot talk about race, it means you are too afraid to talk about yourselves. So, let us talk about race.”

    The ANC seems to follow a script that in the previous century killed around 6 million Jews.
    Hitler and his henchman in their racial policies was the cause of that. They blamed the problems of the country on the Jews.
    From where we are this time in our countries misfortune this is what the ANC is doing to the Whites are to blame ….specifically the Afrikaans speaking ones .
    So what is next for the whites .. gas chambers depirtation and labour camps.
