The letter in The Star newspaper, written by one Afrika Katze, “Being black or white is a gift from on high” (01 June 2009), purports to analyse and discourage racism in post-apartheid South Africa; but anyone who read carefully would have noticed the author’s hidden agenda.
Katze writes, somewhere in the middle of letter, that: “The somewhat sadistic and deliberately brutal attacks perpetrated mostly on white South Africans under the guise of crime, to me qualify to be classified as racism.”
Katze effectively claims, without any shred of evidence, that the majority of white victims of crime are being targeted because of their race – an outrageous claim, if you ask me.
He also effectively alleges that there is some secret motive behind these “brutal attacks” on white South Africans. Does Katze have any proof? Does he know something the rest of us do not know?
Whilst observing that “people of a disliked hue (read blacks) often never reciprocate racial hatred”, Katze, however, suggests that black South Africans are an exception.
