AfriForum is simply pointing out that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the Commander-In-Chief. At least‚ that’s what it thinks it’s pointing out. But of course AfriForum is not The Avengers‚ an apolitical group of superheroes dedicated to upholding humanity and universal dignity.
Instead‚ it is the group that describes apartheid apologist Steve Hofmeyr as a “friend”‚ and‚ last year‚ insisted that Afrikaners should be free to display the old South African flag in private.
Just to reiterate: this is an organisation that publicly stands by people who have a sentimental or cultural affection for the official jingle and official flag of a crime against humanity.
