The premier of the Western Cape, EB Rasool has some pimple cream for the heart patient. "At least he won't die looking like shit"
"Xenophobia, racism, sexism, in fact all fundamentalism, all acts of intolerance belong to one family and if you are to deal with one member of the family, you have got to be consistent in dealing with all members of that family," he said at the University of the Witwatersrand.
"If you are not consistent with the sister, you cannot hope to deal with the brother," Rasool said. (so which of this family of acts of intolerance have we successfully dealt with EB?)
"If you don't deal with sexism, you can't hope to deal with xenophobia. So you need to be able to know how to deal with the family, (which clearly we don't)" he said.
South Africans had to recognise that the nation probably still had a "damaged soul". (Allah u Akbah.... let's talk about the "soul" for a minute and make sure that you and I understand each other. This nation with it's recent history of protecting human rights abusers in Zimbabwe and Myanmar... you speak of our soul. It is the soul of the dark sith lord! Damaged my arse. You choose who you are!)
"Maybe in our smugness, we have overlooked major [problems] in society," he said. (Ya I live in Pinelands and don't have to drive past squatters on the way to work. As they say - "Out of sight out of mind")
It was this smugness which could have blinded people to their lack of co-existence.
"We have got to pierce deeper into the problem if we are to deal with it better," he said.
