The entitlement to Julius’s “loyalty” is both silly and politically naive. Why do [some] people think or believe that Julius owes us any fealty?
We lost councils on 1 November 2021. Not because Julius/IFP voted otherwise. Because voters chose not to return us on a majority!

The problem starts here. There’s no ‘racism of whatever color.’ Racism is a power expression of supremacy, not revolt. Only white people have imposed themselves on others and accumulated enough social & economic power to be racist. Everything else is not racism.

I did much more to fight racism and apartheid than you did, Julius. And I am still fighting racism, of whatever colour. Let's look at capable and effective government for all -- not race.

A first year theology student (or even a clued up reader of the Bible) would punch out this line of argument in a second. The non-existence or existence (hypothetically) of God doesn’t hinge on the absence of misery in the world.
