PRESS RELEASE: RP Welcomes South Africa’s Official Recognition as a Racist State

Referendum Party Welcomes South Africa’s Official Recognition as a Racist State

(Afrikaans volg)

“This is race-based persecution!” These were the exact words which Whitehouse Deputy Chief-of-staff, Stephen Miller chose to describe the actions and policies of the South African Government. Their significance was enormous, the most powerful nation on earth and leader of the free world has now once again officially classified South Africa as a racist state. 

The Referendum Party (RP) is delighted and believes this has the potential to be a very positive watershed moment. For far too long the world has known the racist path successive ANC-led governments have embarked upon since 1994, yet have chosen to remain shamefully silent. Now that the United States has chosen to call a spade a spade, the RP expects many other foreign political leaders and governments to find the courage to follow suit.

RP leader, Phil Craig, is currently in Washington raising awareness of the issues faced by South Africans, and promoting Cape Independence as part of the solution. He has established that the ANC is an organisation which is now deeply reviled by many, that there are no illusions whatsoever about its complete lack of moral fibre, and that its blatant hypocrisy now defines it - domestically and internationally.

As if determined to underscore this point, the ANC chair of the Portfolio Committee on Justice and Constitutional Development has been stonewalling the RP for months, blocking the submission of their Non-Racialism Bill to parliament. The office of the speaker is currently intervening to force the ANC chair to respond.

The harsh reality is that the ANC is just as racist as the Apartheid government was, and they are just as committed to race-based social engineering. It turns out racism was never their issue, they just wanted to be the perpetrators rather than the victims.

The RP is committed to genuine non-racialism, where all South Africans are free to fulfil their potential, whatever their race may be.

Referendum Party verwelkom Suid-Afrika se amptelike erkenning as 'n rassistiese staat

"Dit is rasgebaseerde vervolging!"  Dit was die presiese woorde wat Stephen Miller, adjunk-stafhoof van die Withuis, gebruik het om die optrede en beleid van die Suid-Afrikaanse regering te beskryf. Die betekenis daarvan is enorm: die magtigste nasie op aarde en leier van die vrye wêreld het Suid-Afrika nou weer amptelik as 'n rassistiese staat geklassifiseer.

Die Referendum Party (RP) is verheug en glo dit het die potensiaal om ’n baie positiewe keerpunt te wees. Die wêreld het al veels te lank geweet van die rassistiese koers wat opeenvolgende ANC-geleide regerings sedert 1994 ingeslaan het, maar het gekies om skaamtelik stil te bly. Nou dat die Verenigde State gekies het om die waarheid direk te benoem, verwag die RP dat baie ander buitelandse politieke leiers en regerings die moed sal vind om dieselfde te doen.

Die RP-leier, Phil Craig, is tans in Washington waar hy bewustheid kweek oor die uitdagings wat Suid-Afrikaners in die gesig staar, en Kaapse Onafhanklikheid bevorder as deel van die oplossing. Hy het vasgestel dat die ANC ’n organisasie is wat tans wyd verag word, dat daar geen illusies bestaan oor die totale gebrek aan morele integriteit nie, en dat blatante huigelary nou die kenmerk van die ANC is - plaaslik én internasionaal.

Asof om hierdie punt te beklemtoon, het die ANC-voorsitter van die Portefeuljekomitee oor Justisie en Grondwetlike Ontwikkeling die RP al maande lank doelbewus gefnuik deur die indiening van hul Wet op Nie-Rassigheid in die parlement te blokkeer. Die kantoor van die speaker tree tans in om die ANC-voorsitter te dwing om te reageer.

Die harde werklikheid is dat die ANC net so rassisties is soos die destydse Apartheid-regering, en net so toegewy is aan rasse-gebaseerde sosiale ingenieurswese. Dit blyk dat rassisme nooit regtig hul probleem was nie – hulle wou bloot die oortreders in plaas van die slagoffers wees.

Die Referendum Party is toegewyd aan ware nie-rassigheid, waar alle Suid-Afrikaners vry is om hul volle potensiaal te verwesenlik, ongeag hul ras.
