The murder of Eugene Terreblance was tragic. The aftermath reminded us that racial divisions remain deep.
The majority of leaders expressed their sympathies, and pleaded for calm. We all can also breath a sigh of relief, for the AWB's to backtrack on their previous threat.
But..... now the AWB is using a tragic event to score political points. Suddenly the "Volkstaat" is back on the agenda. Racial tension is stoked, which this country can ill afford and veiled threats are made, and AWB spokespersons threathen people in TV studios.
All this does a disservice to their cause. Prominent Black leaders supported the AWB in their time of sorrow...But now everything is coming apart at the seams it appears, more so for the AWB(leadership tussles etc)
Before we complain about SA again, remember that countries like the US also had their fair share of racial/political murders . And whilst not a shining example of racial harmony, remains a United country, nevertheless.![]()
