“Bruin mense is niemand se oorskiet nie. Ons is gemeng en trots daarop.”

Só het prof. Danny Titus, een van die hooforganiseerders van die Bruin Belange Inisiatief (BBI), gister voor sowat 400 afgevaardigdes op die BBI-konferensie in Rawson-ville gesê.

Dié stelling hou verband met wat die voormalige presidentsvrou wyle mev. Marike de Klerk in 1983 oor bruin mense gesê het.

Not knowing what to expect, except for the obligatory one on one battles, where crowd response is what counts most, we set off to the Friday night leg of the African Hip Hop Indaba.
There was a bit of  a buzz at the entrance where alotta well known headz were hanging around near the tables where merchandise, CD’s and DVD’s were on sale.

The hall seemed a bit empty and when proceedings got underway, some of the competitors hadn’t even arrived yet. They were summarily disqualified and rightly so. As with many events in da Mutha City, the hall did eventually fill up as Capetonians it seems, are notorious for arriving late :-)

(Living in South Africa, one has become quite accustomed to politicians routinely bellowing the most unintelligent gunk in the universe. One has come to expect the usual side-stepping of issues and the vapid wishy-washy (or is that machiney-washy?) tripe when politicians get questioned on TV or have to make pronouncements on anything...so when a (former) politician of Allan Boesak's pedigree (replete with rap sheet et al) says what he says in this article...dammit...I was almost moved to tears. Truly a remarkable speech in my opinion, he hit the nail on the head in a number of areas. Aweh Boesak! - Ed - IOL)

Anti-apartheid stalwart Allan Boesak on Wednesday night slammed the ANC for bringing back "racial divisions and ethnic categorisation", saying that "the language of ethnicity had been brought back into the speech of the movement" and that the ANC, as the government, had "brought back the hated system of racial categorisation".

He also said that affirmative action had, in some instances, "taken on new forms of racial exclusion, ruthlessly and thoughtlessly throwing overboard the solidarity forged through years of struggle".
