Ndlozi says forgiving racism is a futile and an empty act.
He said: “No one should forgive racism. Racism doesn’t even recognise you as a forgiving being. After all, how can you ask a dog to forgive you for always putting it in chains? You just forgive yourself, the dog has no power to forgive.”
In her statement of apology on Wednesday, Schoombee said: “I would like to make you all aware that I have grown as a person, this is no longer who I am or what I stand for.”“You transform it, burying it deep in your sub-conscience. From time to time, it will slip out in jokes, dreams, taste, anger, enjoyment and aesthetics of white privilege. No one should forgive racism, it should be destroyed,” he said.
Ndlozi said Schoombee’s statement that “I really hope that SA can forgive me for these immature posts, as I have forgiven myself and moved on” was an “existential dismissal rendering black people invisible”.“I don’t forgive you. Go get your forgiveness from De Klerk and the Springbok! Your racism has nothing to do with individuals. Its a system of white privileged that made you and will always make you racist.
Remember Zulaikha Patel was 13 years old when she and other black girls had to fight to wear their hair in its natural afro form. So at 14 Bianca knew very well that racism is wrong and abusive
