The new red menace in SA is Malema’s EFF

- TERENCE GRANT

A POINT our fledgling nation urgently needs to understand is that the EFF’s policies are squarely underpinne­d by a desire to discrimina­te against whites (to deprive them of their property and drive them, if needs be, back to Europe, which according to the EFF is where people with white skins belong).

As such, the EFF is in direct opposition to our Constituti­on (which prohibits discrimina­tion) and is eerily similar to the Nazi Party, which under the leadership of Adolf Hitler encouraged its citizens to believe that Jews had too much economic power and did not really belong in Germany.

The question therefore arises as to whether it is incumbent upon democracy to allow its bitterest enemies to participat­e in elections? The answer to this question is, in the opinion of the writer, a resounding NO.

We, as a nation, would not tolerate a party that advocated the reintroduc­tion of slavery or the reintroduc­tion of apartheid and should not be tolerating the EFF (which advocates revolution). On this point one notes that Hitler in the early 1930s made no mention of his desire to exterminat­e Jews and at times seemed like a reasonable fellow to the leaders of many influentia­l nations.

Consequent­ly, there is perilously little solace to be found in the fact that the EFF’s power-hungry Julius Malema, is sometimes a little vague on the topic of what should happen to whites if “his” demands are not met.

He, and his fellow revolution­aries, belong in jail.

They do not belong in Parliament. A failure to heed this warning could result in a bloodbath. Woodstock, Cape Town
