Can a true democracy exist without justice? Is there a point in preaching reconciliation while there is still no justice? I see no point of reconciling if it means nothing to the perpetrators. Perpetrators are the people who still own everything that were obtained during the dark days of apartheid, mansions, farms, land, businesses and so forth.
It still doesn’t make sense to me why our so-called ‘brisk brains’ black leaders had to negotiate revolution. It appears to me that through the negotiating process truth has since replaced justice and reconciliation meant to embrace wickedness of apartheid. The rules that came with the ‘most cherished democracy meant Africans must be forced to forgive. Currently it looks like Africans will continue with the same struggle of injustice even years after apartheid. Democracy with its free market system means nothing comes cheap. Expensive good education means further unemployment as the whites together with the ANC leaders continue to enjoy life at the expense of the people who fought apartheid.
Those in power live in mansions and hotels, while most of the people are forced to live in rat-infested townships. To me anc leaders aren’t people – they are parasites. Unlike the poor blacks majority living in the shacks (homeless and landless), our so-called public servants and their families prefer to make use of the private sector.
In my opinion, the South African version of democracy is like a continuance of apartheid. Whites still have everything they owned during apartheid. The advantage of high-class schools with libraries + ANC has played a major role in uplifting their lives. The ruling government together with their white opponents continues to undermine and subjugate the majority of the blacks. All what perpetrators need to do to convince the anc leaders during the codesa negotiations was only to say ‘sorry, lets start afresh with us still keeping everything apartheid government gave us’ – and while blacks continue to suffer, Mandela becomes a hero.
Poor young people are fighting a wall. We need a serious revolution and our land back. It now makes sense why most African countries had to crumble after independence. People were strangled by their so-called their own liberation leaders. This ANC apartheid needs to be abolished!!!
