Newsletter| The DA is the only party that still embraces Madiba's legacy and believes in a reconciled SA, writes DA's Solly Malatsi
Subsequently Madiba’s grandson, Mandla Mandela criticised the party for “abusing the Mandela name and legacy to further their own narrow class interests”.
This was exemplified after the murder of struggle icon Chris Hani in 1993, Madiba kept the country together.“Now is the time for all South Africans to stand together,” Madiba said in a televised speech after Hani’s assassination. In 1993 he even said that “if the ANC does to you what the apartheid government did to you, then you must do to the ANC what you did to the apartheid government”.
We believe the ANC, and many other parties, have steered away from this vision. Instead of uniting us, the ANC is aiming to divide us along racial lines. In both Zimbabwe and Venezuela, it has been proven that nationalisation only lead to chaos, racial tensions and flagrant human rights violations.
