The Democratic Alliance (DA) on Monday reported the African National Congress’ (ANC) Bongani Mkongi’s “hate speech and incitement to violence” to Parliament’s ethics oversight body. Retweet if you want an answer from @MyANC_ on what action they will take against #BonganiMkongi for this post. pic.twitter.com/aWEeSJQzRd— Democratic Alliance (@Our_DA) January 16, 2016Incitement“The DA has today submitted a complaint to the Office of the Registrar against Mkongi‚ for his calls over the weekend to have the 'Zuma Must Fall' billboard in Cape Town‚ as well as the building it is on and its occupants‚ burnt down‚” said the DA’s chief whip‚ John Steenhuisen.“The DA has also included remarks Mkongi made in a rant on Saturday evening referring to members of the media and public as ‘stupid white people’‚ and will explore other avenues of recourse such as the South African Human Rights Commission if need be.”ANC supporters on Saturday removed the billboard which was erected a day earlier.Prior to ANC supporters storming the building‚ Mkongi said on Facebook: “Join the ANC in Cape Town today at 14h00 to burn down the billboard saying 'ZumaMustFall'. The billboard must not be lifted down‚ but‚ burnt down."When it was pointed out that the people inside the apartment “will burn to death”‚ Mkongi replied: "They must burn to death as it is life for them to keep it that way."“Mkongi's remarks are tantamount to hate speech and incitement to violence‚ and the Joint Committee on Ethics and Members' Interests needs to investigate this potential breach of the Code of Ethical Conduct and Disclosure of Members Interests as well as the Powers‚ Privileges And Immunities Of Parliament And Provincial Legislatures Act‚” said Steenhuisen. He added that his ANC counterpart‚ Stone Sizani‚ “has been incredibly quiet despite Mkongi’s gross violation of his Oath of Affirmation as a Member of the National Assemby as well as South Africa’s constitutional and reconciliatory principles”.“We call on the Sizani and his party to also take internal disciplinary action and ensure that Mkongi is held accountable for his misconduct and hatemongering‚” said Steenhuisen.Mkongi appeared to have been chastised by Sizani over the weekend‚ as he later took to Facebook to apologise: “Today I posted a Facebook message imploring activists residing in the Western Cape to converge in town and pull down a #‎ZumaMustFall banner‚ which I believe was offensive‚ provocative‚ racially polarising and has potential to incite political violence.“I will never call for or incite violence‚ and indeed the removal of the banner today was peaceful. Therefore‚ while I stand by my post that the banner must fall‚ and I am pleased that it fell‚ I apologise for the second part of my message that suggested the banner must burn with the building.”Meanwhile‚ despite the threat of prosecution for illegally erecting the billboard‚ the group behind it claimed it had been a success...
