I could go on and on and on about Jacob Zuma’s addressing of the neo-Nuremberg rally of racist black journalists this week, in which our future president saw nothing wrong addressing a meeting closed to any white person. This doesn’t smack of Apartheid. It is Apartheid.

Michael Trapido on Thought Leader has put it absolutely best, discussing the sheer disgrace that this event is in our country. There is little I can add to his near perfect analysis of this situation.

When you hear of these things, these corruptions of democracy one is left to ask who is running this country? When there are so many clever, able, educated and passionate young black leaders, why is it that the dof, cruel and incompetent have wrestled power away from the minds of rationalism in the ANC.

A part of me wants to blame Mbeki for his paranoia and centralisation, and when I think about it deeply this truly seems the greatest cause.

But which Irvin Khoza, the man in charge of running soccer in this country, using the word kaffir without shame, we have definitely entered a dark day in the racial politics of our country; where men and women are excluded from an address because of the colour of their skin, and a leader of the country’s largest sports program can chide a black man with the word kaffir.

As Trapido says:

Abroad, the message is: welcome back, apartheid, under new management.
