Have you asked yourself this question? Have you asked yourself exactly what the DA has become since Mmusi Maimane took over leadership of the DA?
I was one of those who denied in the past that the DA is ANC light. But now I cant deny it any longer. The white English speaking liberal cabal that controlled the DA before has lost control and the future that the DA has chosen for itself is to be a black majority party where minorities will only be tolerated.
Where their votes don’t really count.
Where their votes are not even wanted.
If the DA had another policy that differentiated themselves from the ANC, many people from the minority would still consider voting for them as long as they have equal rights. But in the DA South Africans from minority groups don’t have equal rights.The DA to this day supports a BEE model where the white minority is discriminated against. Where the colour of your skin determines which race will get a job or opportunity. Not merit or personal circumstances.
The DA, in order to get votes, have clearly decided to nurture the demand and entitlement culture, even in some cases going further than the ANC, making more promises, like when one of their black MP’s proposed to double the child grants if the DA comes into power.
Maimane unsubtly describes white South Africans as “privileged”, even though power was handed to the black majority 25 years ago and there has been relentless discrimination against whites ever since, even leading to many impoverished whites living in squatter camps.
And don’t we know about how the white minority, especially on farms, had to endure relentless savage attacks and murder and even torture? The numbers of attacks and murders are mind numbing. We know how we had to beg the DA to even talk about these murders because they are afraid to upset black voters.
Let us look at a few examples to see how equal the DA view you as a white person.
Timeslive reported that the KZN Women’s Network Leader Shehana Kajee asked a coloured lady, Hannah Winckler, who was applying to be a DA MP, if she was was really coloured. She is light in colour and she was asked what race is she according to her ID. Luckily for her she was not subjected to a pencil test to her hair.
It was also reported on Netwerk24 that there is division in the DA KZN structures after a young DA member, Siphesihle Dube, who is known for being critical against his own party on social media, was photograhed in a warm embrace with Patricia de Lille at a party spot in Khayelitsha. Dube was placed high up on the DA KZN list for the National Assembly and is sure to get into Parliament whilst the respected white MP Alf Lees, the DA’s spokesperson for SOE’s, was placed so low on the list that he is unlikely to be returned to Parliament.
Earlier this year the DA Youth Leader Luyolo Mpithi was part of the lynch mob against teacher Elana Barkhuizen when she innocently took a picture of some school kids. She never knew it would cause such an outrage .
The photo went viral with the help of Mpithi who also retweeted it. It was a single photo of a single moment where some black kids seemed to sit separately. Several other Twitter users posted another photo of the same classroom, but this time with children of different races mixing. Mphithi did not share this photo on his Twitter account as a correction.
Despite serious doubts arising, the party’s youth leader issued a statement demanding answers from the school for their “outdated attitudes toward integration”. The statement welcomed Barkhuizen’s later suspension, but failed to indicate that she was not the class teacher and that she merely took the photograph.
Despite the chaos observed at Laerskool Schweizer-Reneke, due to protest action spurred on in part by the tweet form Mr Mphithi, the DA’s press release still warned South Africans of the populist rhetoric from other parties.
Protesters threatened violence – yet the DA still deemed it necessary to mention Elana Barkhuizen in the press release by name. This action by the DA further endangered her, the kids in her classroom, and her own family.
Most DA members will admit that their policies are similar to the ANC’s but that they will implement these policies with less corruption.
The facts speak otherwise with the grotesquely corrupt GladAfrica tender in Tshwane where R750 million was allocated for mere consultancy services and the vehicle fleet tender to Afrirent in Johannesburg where R500 000 was siphoned off to Julus Malema and the EFF. If you don’t know about this, then Google it.
I ask again, do you know what you vote for when you vote DA?
