9 May 2024
The recent flag-burning advertisement orchestrated by the DA serves as a stark reminder of its alarming disregard for the founding democratic principles and national integrity of modern South Africa. The desecration of the South African flag, a symbol of our hard-won democratic breakthrough against the racist apartheid regime, is unjustifiable and cannot be dismissed as a mere symbolic gesture. Rather, it is an integral component of the DA's protracted agenda to undermine our democratic national sovereignty and the collective aspirations of our people.
The DA's latest egregious act adds to a long list of its treacherous deeds. From deplorably labelling indigenous citizens as "refugees" within their own land, to praising the racist, oppressive colonial system as developmental, to advocating for the secession of the Western Cape Province through nefarious initiatives like the "Western Cape Provincial Powers Bill", the DA has consistently demonstrated its disdain for national unity and the imperative to advance towards shared prosperity for our nation.
Also, by aligning itself with imperialist forces, serving as the domestic transmission belt of latter-day interests and practices of neo-colonialism, the DA has unmistakably revealed its true allegiance. The DA's recent solicitation of imperialist interference in our domestic democratic processes, focusing on but not only the forthcoming national and provincial elections, stands as a brazen affront to our hard-won democratic sovereignty of our nation.
It is imperative that we stand resolute against such blatant attempts to erode our hard-won advances and collectively strive towards a future characterised by social emancipation and the realisation of socialist ideals.
As peace-loving democratic South Africans, we unequivocally condemn the DA's reprehensible actions. We urge all sections of our society, particularly the working class, to strengthen unity in pursuit of expanding and deepening democratisation. This must encompass democratic transformation aimed at dismantling the entrenched economic control wielded by the small minority of the capitalist class, the majority of whom remain white, perpetuating the enduring legacy of the colonial-apartheid era over our society's wealth and resources.
As things stand, voting for the ANC on 29 May 2024 is imperative to defend our democracy against apartheid beneficiaries who have no regard for democratic-South Africa's national flag. Similarly, a decisive majority victory for the ANC is imperative to defend our democratic-South Africa's flag against the other beneficiaries of the apartheid regime who recently marched in Groblersdal waving the flags of the apartheid regime. The DA and the FF-plus are in the same WhatsApp group, the so-called multi-party charter.
