The African National Congress applauds the work done by our comrades in
Parliament, most notably ANC MP Comrade Buti Manamela for exposing the
racist and unrepentant Democratic Alliance councillor in the Eastern
Cape, one Stanford Slabbert.

The attitude and arrogance displayed by Slabbert against black people
is characteristic of the DA and had it not have been exposed by the ANC
during the Presidency’s Budget Vote debate last week, it like many
others would have gone unnoticed, unpunished and acceptable within the
DA. The DA continues to treat black people like second-class citizens as
demonstrated time and again in Cape Town and in Midvaal. They have even
stooped to the level of insulting and indeed undermining their
intellectual capacity through their ineffectual attempts to rewrite
history. The hypocrisy of the DA knows no bounds as demonstrated by the
treatment of farm workers in the Western Cape.

The ANC calls upon all South Africans to emulate this fearless spirit,
ensuring wherever the DA continues to its attempt to undermine and
insult our people, they are exposed for the fraud they are and their
unwillingness to accept equality with blacks in general and Africans in
particular in pursuit of a common nationhood. The only difference
between Slabbert and all other racist leaders of the DA is that he was
found out.
