PRESS RELEASE: ANC Statement on International Support is Rank Hypocrisy

ANC’s Statement on International Support is Rank Hypocrisy, says Referendum Party

The petulant and panicked ANC press statement demanding that South Africans must defend their national sovereignty positively reeked of hypocrisy.

The Referendum Party would like to remind the ANC that when black South Africans were unjustly subjected to race-based laws, international lobbying and support were the primary weapons in the ANC’s arsenal.

The tables are now turned, and it is the ANC who are unjustly implementing race-based laws against ethnic minorities. To now complain about those minorities resorting to the same tactics of international lobbying and support to get out from under them is beyond comprehension. It demonstrates just how detached from reality the ANC have become.

The ANC’s policies and conduct have facilitated the current crisis. The solution is not to escalate tensions with the US, but to pause and reflect on what the root causes of the current crisis are. In doing so, the ANC should realise that it is in the wrong.

The ANC is being asked to:

• End race-based policy and embrace genuine non-racialism
• Repeal sections of the Expropriation Act and protect property rights
• Honour the right of self-determination

These demands are not ideological debating points; they are fundamental human rights, all of which are contained (directly or indirectly) in the South African Constitution, and all of which are central pillars of International Law.

It is also ill-advised for the ANC to flirt with allegations of treason. That definitely does not become a political party which: is said to have murdered thousands of South Africans to secure its seat as the dominant 'liberation party', facilitated the theft of billions of Rands through state capture, is led by a president who was caught hiding millions of Rands in foreign currency under his sofa, and who are widely suspected of taking funding from rogue regimes to solve their funding crisis in return for doing their bidding.

ANC se Verklaring oor Internasionale Steun is Skreiende Skynheiligheid, sê die Referendum Party

Die kinderagtige en paniekbevange ANC-persverklaring waarin Suid-Afrikaners beveel word om hul nasionale soewereiniteit te verdedig, ruik na pure skynheiligheid.

Die Referendum Party wil die ANC daaraan herinner dat toe swart Suid-Afrikaners onregverdig aan rasgebaseerde wette onderwerp is, internasionale lobbying en steun die primêre wapens in die ANC se arsenaal was.

Nou het die rolle omgeruil, en dit is die ANC wat rasgebaseerde wette onregverdig teen etniese minderhede afdwing. Om nou te kla wanneer daardie minderhede van dieselfde taktiek gebruik maak—internasionale lobbying en steun—om hulleself hierteen te beskerm, is eenvoudig onverstaanbaar. Dit wys hoe totaal ontkoppel van die werklikheid die ANC geword het.

Die ANC se beleid en optrede het hierdie krisis geskep. Die oplossing is nie om spanning met die VSA verder op te jaag nie, maar om ’n stap terug te neem en te besin oor wat die werklike oorsake van die huidige krisis is. As die ANC dit doen, sal dit besef dat hulle aan die verkeerde kant van die geskiedenis staan.

Die ANC word versoek om:

• Rasgebaseerde beleid te beëindig en ware nie-rassigheid te omarm.
• Dele van die Onteieningswet te herroep en eiendomsregte te beskerm.
• Die reg op selfbeskikking te erken en te eerbiedig.

Hierdie eise is nie bloot ideologiese argumente nie; dit is fundamentele menseregte, almal direk of indirek vervat in die Suid-Afrikaanse Grondwet en almal kernpilare van Internasionale Reg.

Dit is ook uiters onverstandig van die ANC om met beskuldigings van verraad te speel. Dit pas beslis nie by ’n politieke party wat: beskuldig word dat dit duisende Suid-Afrikaners vermoor het om sy posisie as die dominante 'bevrydingsparty' te verseker, miljarde rande deur staatskaping laat steel het, gelei word deur ’n president wat betrap is met miljoene rande se buitelandse valuta onder sy bank en wie wyd verdink word daarvan dat hy finansiële steun van korrupte regimes aanvaar het om sy eie geldkrisis op te los in ruil daarvoor om hul agendas uit te voer nie.
