JOHANNESBURG – Former Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Mmusi Maimane said citizens of all races needed to change the racial injustices of the past or else populist rhetoric and violence would become the automatic reaction.
Over the weekend, the prosecution adopted non-racism as its policy eliminating race as a substitute for disadvantage.
Maimane, who is now the leader of the One SA Movement, said that race plays an important role in one’s identity.
“For me, taking away someone’s identity and saying ‘you don’t see I’m black’ as an argument is really taking away a large component of my identity. But also, the history of this country and the inability to say, ‘how do we solve the challenges of the space legacy of apartheid that we have been given?’ “, Said.
