A disturbing footage of black South Africans beating an Afrikaaner white man in South Africa has caused controversies after circulating online.
There were different reactions to the video. Some dismissed it as a normal footage of men quarreling,escalating into a fight and had nothing to do with racism while others were triggered by the content.
South African whites were triggered by the footage,and it gave them a chance to speak out about racial discrimination. Following their tweets, there is no doubt South Africa’s affirmative action laws that were pushed post- 1994 with an aim of fixing apartheid brutal legacy could be screwing over 1.46 million White South Afrikaans born after the mess ended
Historical records show that racism in South Africa has deep roots nurtured during the famous apartheid which took place between (1948-1994). In this era, the system waa designed to discriminate blacks.
Recent statistics indicate that even though there are claims of “white genocide” and discrimination, the victims of racism and murder are still black and colored South Africans, with more than 94% victims.
“It’s unfortunate you are misinformed. White farmers in Southern Africa kill Black people and feed them to carnivores. Racism against Black people in South Africa is still a reality, refrain from exposing yourself to biased mainstream media.” Mpho ZA tweeted.
Other than the video, there has been concerning headlines that have gone viral the past few months, that may validate the claims of White people facing discrimination in South Africa.
Some of the most highlighted headlines include; ‘Orphanage too white for donations’ (News24 December 7, 2024), ‘Eskom must shed 1081 white engineers’ (updated 10 hours ago by news24), ‘White South Africans barred from registering with Youth Employment Service’ , ‘Dis-chem pharmacies sticks to its guns over ‘no whites employment moratorium
President Cyril Ramaphosa has also faced criticisms for promoting racism. He faced backlash after initiating youth’s empowerment network known as Yes4Youth which was meant to help youths with finding jobs, but reportedly, Human Rights Commission (HRC) and young unemployed white South Africans & FF plus lodged a complaint of discrimination.
White applicants report that they received the following message; “Sorry, Yes (4 youth) is only available to Blacks, Indians or Colored South Africans.”
Economic Freedom Fighters(EFF) leader Julius Malema has also been admonished for fueling the hate against whites. He is known for initiating a national mantra popularly called “Kill the Boer” , a chant that they claim is tied to anti-apartheid history and should not be classified as a hate speech, but the outcome shows violence growing towards the white population.
Elon Musk, Tesla and X CEO , sent a message, as head of DOGE in Trump’s administration, he criticized discrimination and orchestrated genocide towards the whites in South Africa.
” Very few people know that there is a major political party in South Africa that is actively promoting white genocide. The video below was just yesterday . A whole arena chanting about killing white people. A month ago, South African government passed a law legalizing taking property from white people at will without payment.” He wrote criticizing a footage of ‘Kill the boer’ chants that were circulating online, led by Julius Malema.
Musk received a backlash and was criticized for spreading misinformation abouth blacks. Trump also seen supported Musk and also gave consent to white people in South Africa who owned legal travel documents, he told them they were allowed to relocate to U.S.
Amidst all these controversies, people are unable to tell if it is Blacks or whites facing discrimination in South Africa, but leaders like Juiius Malema have been making some careless remarks which could fuel hate and racism
“I will give Blacks free land. Unlike Jesus, I don’t need a silly cross to save my people.” He was heard saying sometime back
Regardless of the evidence, people believe that the truth will prevail someday because Racism does not wear a mask
