Replying to @MbuyiseniNdlozi
For you, any decision by the judiciary that does not agree with the EFF doesn't inspire confidence in justice. Well, it's about time you accept that not everybody buys the fiction that the logic of the EFF is the the logic of justice.

@GeenBlanke And how do you propose this?The govt has tried to undo this through RDP etc initiatives-but needs time, money and a clean gov
@GeenBlanke I agree white privilege is real - but how do you destroy that without perpetuating what the apartheid government did?
@GeenBlanke And remember that those who did try stand up to apartheid - black AND white - were violently silenced...
@GeenBlanke Yes, several decades ago, still doesn't mean the majority of whites today are racist.
