Deputy Speaker, a racist e-mail was circulated by a DA councillor in Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape. Mr Stanford Slabbert alleged that the ANC produces "dumb idiots who wait for hand-outs" and attacked the President of the country by claiming that the President "has more wives than brains".
The DA claims a struggle history by opportunistically appropriating persons and events of the struggle to give them legitimacy, yet in the same breath, they spew such hatred against black people in particular. Known for issuing countless statements against the ANC for everything possible, the DA was strangely very silent when their racist councillor, who represents the face of the DA in his community, exposed their true character. They quietly suspended him, but only when his racism was exposed publicly.
They were equally silent when the MEC in the Western Cape, Mr Theuns Botha, referred to ANC member of the provincial legislature Zodwa Magwaza as a baboon. The DA is so busy airbrushing their past to give themselves some credibility, but perhaps they should rather focus on rehabilitating the racists in their midst, instead of insulting the intelligence of our people, who are not fooled and know the real DA. Thank you. [Applause.]
