White racists are creating black racists like Julius Malema and Robert Mugabe!

“The ANC and President Jacob Zuma’s reluctance to discipline ANC Youth League president Julius Malema has led to his recent comments and actions the past weekend, the Freedom Front Plus Youth said on Monday.”

That is a statement of fact and few people would disagree with that!“FF Plus youth leader Jan van Niekerk said Malema’s comments on nationalisation and that white capitalism was the enemy, would lead to race polarisation and economic instability in southern Africa.”

Is not just stating the obvious but worse still it is the proverbial pan calling the kettle black.

Of course Julius Malema is playing a race card when he says blacks should take away land from the white. But is Jan van Niekerk is playing the race card too by denying the apartheid ruled SA was racists and everything the regime did was deliberated and calculated to benefit the whites at the expense of the blacks.

Apartheid did put the whites at a great advantage economically, educationally, socially, etc. Now that SA has a black government it is perfectly natural that blacks should want the government to do something to uplift them. These are basic facts that can not be denied and should be acknowledged.

The torrent of comments from whites on this page and on many other occasions slamming down black leaders like Julius Malema are clearly in denial that the whites have had the leg up during the days of apartheid and/or that blacks have no legitimate right to seek the same advantages that whites now take for granted. Whatever their reason(s), these whites are being racists. And in my humble opinion it is these white racists who have created monsters like Malema and Mugabe and made it is ease for them to spread their gospel of hate.

White racists resisting any policy designed to redistribute the national wealth have only helped swell the numbers of blacks supporting such policies blindly.

Blacks and whites should condemn Malema’s threat to seize white owned farms and give them to blacks purely from an economic view point. The policy does not make economic sense. The nation’s continued prosperity can only be assured by increased productivity. And that means making maximum use of the nation’s material and human resources.

Land is a material resource that should be allocated to whoever, black or white, best able to use it. “It doesn’t matter if a cat is black or white; if it can catch mice (farm land efficiently) it is a good cat!” said Deng Xiaoping, the Chinese leader credited for setting China on the path of economic boom.

Those blacks keen to try their hand in farming should be encouraged by sending them to Agricultural Colleges. And when their come out of College, State Land should be made available for them to farm.

Malema’s policy is based on punishing the whites for all the years of apartheid and on greed. Just as happened in Zimbabwe the farms will be taken over by Malema and other party loyalists killing the country’s agricultural sector.

Mr Malema is a very rich man already and he would not deny that he used his political muscle to get his riches. One would have to be naïve to think that he would not use the same muscle to seize white owned farms, mines, etc.

South Africa should have a proper debate on the nationalisation of mines, forced seizure of white owned farms, etc. Julius Malema has stifled all meaningful debate by behaving like a play ground bully. Yes President Zuma and the other ANC leaders have been slow in reining Malema in and what goes round comes round, now Malema in bullying President Zuma!
