The cold blooded way in which Cyril Ramaphosa signed the Basic Education Laws Amendment 2022 (BELA) Bill bill into law on Friday, September 13, spells disaster, chaos and a gnashing of teeth from parents from all walks of life.
Do not be fooled when this unelected President of ours, or his sharp-tongued Secretary General Mbalula tells you that they are doing this in the name of transformation. Not myself, nor 60% of other South Africans have elected Ramaphosa as president, nor did we debate or get given an opportunity to voice our honest opinion regarding the BELA bill. This is a travesty of note, and will be remembered as one of the darkest days in South African history, for it is the ANC, and the ANC alone who wants this bill passed, for nothing but selfish gain and a socialist ideological dream.
Sometimes I wish that John Steenhuisen or some of the other smaller parties of the so called Government of National Unity (GNU) would also start playing dirty political games, such as the likes of Ramaphosa and his ANC commies.
But all we have now is a falsified GNU run by an ANC Mafia with a weak, spineless president being pulled around like a puppet on a string, and we are seeing the DA, who once condemned the BELA bill in its entirety, starting to crumble under the pressure of worshipping at the altar of Mammon, the money god.
What South Africa needs now more than ever, is a leadership which honours God!
A leadership which recognizes all languages, does not use reverse-Apartheid laws to punish a certain ethnic group, or subject school children to bizarre sex education laws. A leadership which recognizes farm murders, acknowledges our Springbok heroes, and realizes the dangers of centralization by government at the cost of the average tax payer's freedom.
Sadly, none of these attributes describe the ANC president, even in the least! In stead, what we have is a BRICS member who wants to be in bed with China, an unelected President-wannabe businessman who was lucky to remain in his position, who slowly but surely continues to erode and diminish the White, Afrikaans-speaking minority's basic human rights whilst using eloquent English phrases and catchy statements to capture naive voters imaginations.
The highly criticized, devastating BELA bill, along with the NHI bill, are Ramaphosa's two most effective weapons with which he and his party seeks to destroy the middle class and cling to power, before their party completely disintegrates into outer space, and the chickens finally come home to roost.
May God bless this nation of South Africa, and protect her from the damaging, ruthless effects of a power-hungry government masquerading as a GNU. The sooner we learn that the ANC will never ever relinquish power, the better! In true narcissistic style, Mbalula himself said in a recent interview, that his party will not be willing to compromise or give up any power, very easily. It is just not within their DNA!
