Ramaphosa wants economic future for ‘blacks in the main’

Opinion by Political Correspondent

Ramaphosa openly says the ANC wants to build a future for “Black people in the main”, but many white people still think Ramaphosa is the saviour whilst he is in fact the main “frog boiler.” President Cyril Ramaphosa has made a speech in Durban where the catchphrases, cliches and misleading buzzwords rolled faster of his tongue than an AK47 machine gun can spray bullets.                                 

Speaking in front if the KZN provincial government’s “command council” on Tuesday 5 May 2020, he was quite possibly trying to convince Jacob Zuma’s home province that he is ” holier than the pope” when it comes to radicalism but after this speech white people and the coloured community should know clearly that the man held out as a hero by some in their communities does not even see them included in South Africa’s economic future.

He even said so in as many words. Of course this should have been clear since 1993 when Ramaphosa told ex IFP MP Mario Oriani-Ambrosini about the ANC’s long term “boil the frog slowly” strategy to incrementally over time take whatever belongs to white people, including their farms, schools and businesses because if the ANC moved too fast it would give white people time to mobilise.                                           

In the meantime the ANC’s strategy worked perfectly and the ” frog” is only now realising that its very difficult to jump out of the currently locked-down South African pot which has tuned into a fully fledged black dictatorship.   
                           
Don’t forget that there were many voices that called out in the past, pointing out that South Africa was moving in the direction of another Zimbabwe but not enough people from the minorities seemed to care and many wrapped themselves in the politically correct liberal flag, ready to vilify anyone opposed to the liberal viewpoint.                   
Ramaphosa’s speech was no doubt mostly mumbo jumbo packed full with catchphrases from the Zuma era narrative but he revealed himself in one very significant way and to this the white and coloured communities, and that includes the liberals because their skins are also not black, should pay careful attention because this involves their very future and the future of their children.   

This came when Ramaphosa said “the new economic future must be inclusive, empowering to women, young people and to black people in the main”.     

Could Ramaphosa have been more clear? Could he have been more revealing?                     

‘BLACK PEOPLE IN THE MAIN’. That simply means the white, and even the coloured community, is simply not included in the ANC’s plans for the future of South Africa. Ramaphosa also said that “we are witnessing the “total destruction” of our economy due to the Covid-19 coronavirus (yes correct but not mainly due to the virus because most people who get it recover, but because the ANC created a man-made disaster in the despotic way the lockdown has been implemented) and that radical economic transformation must be central to plans to rebuild and re-purpose.”                       
Some of the other catchphrases mainly dating from the Zuma era narrative that Ramaphosa uttered was :                                     
“Covid-19 had presented an opportunity to “reconstruct” the economy.”
“We must begin to put in place the pillars of a new economy. We cannot continue in the same old way,”
“Radical economic transformation must underpin the economic future that we will need to craft going forward. We should be able to do this through a new compact we are going to build,”.
                                             
The buzzword “social compact” surfaced a while back when plans by the ANC were revealed to seize about 10% of the pension fund of government workers and plunge that into Eskom. In the ANC jargon, “compact” means that they take and you give. That to them is a compact.                                 

Another piece of code-speak by Ramaphosa was when he said “playing around on the edges with whatever efforts we are making – that time is over now.” One wonders what the ANC was doing for 26 years ” playing around on the edges “. What does this mean?                           

The white community should realise that Ramaphosa is a code speaker and whilst you as a white person might not have an idea about what he is speaking about, it does have meaning to the black masses. They are receiving Ramaphosa’s veiled messages and they see it as clear indication that the ANC is legalising and speeding up the “boil the frog” strategy.
