Whites are like dying donkeys


Whites are like dying donkeys in its last kicks and throngs of death. There are too many white South Africans who are not willing to accept that your days in this country have long ended. Said the man who is willing to defend President Jacob Zuma. Once the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) decide to prosecute after the North Gauteng High Court found that the withdrawal of 783 charges was irrational. Remarks of this nature border on hate speech.
Schabir Shaik was granted medical parole due to a terminal illness after serving 28 months of a 15-year jail sentence. Shaik was convicted of fraud and corruption relating to the controversial arms deal. Shaik believes that there is a planned strategy to discredit both the president and himself. Should Zuma have a day in court Shaik will testify and tell the truth so that South Africa can hear the truth? Shaik said he never benefited from his relationship with Zuma.
It is all flattering to know that Zuma has an ally and since Shaik is still on medical parole that might be removed once the court hearing is closed. However, Shaik, who played an active role in the liberation of apartheid and forged close ties with the African National Congress (ANC) without material gain. Shaik said the bitter struggle years were for fighting racist apartheid South Africa. A system that white parents, grandparents and other family members openly supported. A system of privilege and all whites thrived on.
  White South Africans are dying donkeys and as long as the ANC and allies continue to make remarks that eject hatred, spells doom for the minority. It is known that the white minority are being alienated by the Black Economic Empowerment laws. It is a tragedy that the rainbow nation has lost its colorful radiance. In 1994 it might have appeared that South Africa was for all who lived in it but now, the minority referred to “dying donkeys” are at the end of the journey. Whatever the end date of the voyage was for whites, only Shaik will know.
