POLITICAL NEWS - EFF national spokesperson Mbuyiseni Ndlozi has “defended” Black First Land First (BLF) leader Andile Mngxitama against the ANC, which had called for “harsh consequences” following Mngxitama’s call to “kill whites”.
In a statement the ANC said it viewed Mngxitama’s “outburst and threats as an attempt to set us back to the dark ages of apartheid”.
“The movement is disgusted at racist statements made by Mngxitama hurling racist diatribe against white people.
“Over the years, the ANC as the leader of society has been advancing social cohesion to create a nation that is non-racist, non-sexist and democratic.
“We call for harsh consequences for anyone who tries to divide our people in this country. Ever citizen’s rights to human dignity are protected in the constitution.
“We call on all South Africans to isolate those people who continue with their divisive slurs in threatening the lives of others.”
But Ndlozi said the ruling party was in no position to condemn Mngxitama, because, according to him, the ANC has been the “biggest divider”.
