The ANC secretary-general called on voters to reject ‘umlungu’, while the veterans are in effect asking the ANC to reject him in response.
“As far as we are concerned, these are the utterance of an individual and not, by any measure, the position of the ANC. We are proud members of the ANC, ‘a non-racial and non-sexist and democratic liberation movement’. Our Constitution behoves us ‘to unite all the people of South Africa, Africans in particular, for the complete liberation of the country from all forms of discrimination and national oppression’.
“Employing racial tropes at an ANC election event is abhorrent and those who practise this should find no haven in the ANC. Magashule’s behaviour and utterances are completely at odds with the Freedom Charter and the constitution of the ANC.
