[You won't believe this. At the source link you'll see the videos and photos. Whites are nailed for almost anything – the slightest thing. Jan]Two students in question in South Africa, two students were expelled from their residence at the University of Pretoria in 2014 for this.
A qualified apology
When approached for comment, Ian Cameron said that “I oppose race quotas, and as a member of Afriforum Youth in 2011 participated in a protest to this effect.
However, I acknowledge that blackface is not acceptable in modern society and for that I apologise – it detracts from the point we at Afriforum Youth were trying to make about exclusion on the basis of race quotas.
Cameron did not answer questions posed to him regarding whether his past political programme, including the blackface incident had been subject to DA vetting when he joined the party, and was selected to be a candidate as a Member of Parliament.
Slipped through the cracks
DA communications tsar Richard Newton has been the public face on the race controversies that have beset the party.
The party line appears to be to paint Renaldo Gouws as someone who escaped the strict vetting process of the Democratic Alliance.
On Ian Cameron’s blackface incident, Newton commented “the party notes the emergence of a video of DA MP Ian Cameron taking part in a protest 12 years ago as an activist for Afriforum. Mr Cameron has clarified his participation in this protest against unfair admissions policies at an institution of higher learning.”
When pressed by IOL as to questions on the DA’s vetting process, or the party’s stance on the racist practice of blackface, Newton responded that “the message above is our response on the matter.”
IOL also requested comment from DA federal leader Helen Zille, who did not respond.
Since the controversial “kill the k*ffirs, kill all the n*ggers” video from DA MP Renaldo Gouws, the party has been at pains to paint their vetting practices as fit for purpose.
The DA has suspended Gouws for what it termed “execreble” language. Critics have pointed out that the DA has been at pains in their communications to avoid the words “racist” or “racism”.
The South African Human Rights Commission has subsequently hauled Gouws before the Equality Court on charges of hate speech and racist utterances.
Blackface as racism
Blackface originated in the 19th century where white performers would blacken their faces for the entertainment of a white audience.
Performances characterised black people as savage, lazy, cowardly, criminal, and stupid. It’s this production of stereotypes of black people that undergirds dehumanisation and violence against black people on a systemic and interpersonal scale.
The Democratic Alliance has of late hit choppy waters in their negotiations with Cyril Ramaphosa’s African National Congress (ANC) to form a Government of National Unity. The latest race controversies are sure to be a factor in the arm wrestling contest between DA and the ANC.

Video: Hamas attack on Israel: Is this a Life or Death fight for the existence of Israel?
Some South African supporters of Loving Life asked for my opinion of this war in Israel and what it could lead to. This is my analysis of the Middle East and what I think about this war between Israel and Hamas. I also look at the Syrian Civil war and we take a look at ALL the Arab/Muslim nations from Egypt to Iran and what threats they might pose to Israel. I also discuss American and Russian military power in the region. Can the region go nuclear? I go into quite a lot of political and military analysis of this conflict.
Who are we? Boers or Afrikaners? Answer from Dr Mike Du Toit
I had someone write to me about the topic of Boers versus Afrikaners. I decided to approach Dr Mike Du Toit, who was the leader of the Boeremag, and who is a professional academic who is very well versed in our history to answer this. Dr Du Toit not only knows our history in South Africa but also our history in Europe. This was his answer.
