The Black Education
Minister in the Gauteng
Province , Panyaza
Lesufi has just shown that he is the most level-headed social media user in South Africa . He’s
educated us all brilliantly. Thanks so much Minister for setting such a shining
example.
Let’s hope you are
followed by the entire country.
On Sunday when Lesufi went on Twitter he was shocked
to be bombarded by an unprovoked racial attack. An anonymous user called him a “Fucking
Kaffir” paedophile.
The cowardly racist hid behind the name “Summer
Starstead” using the handle @uncucklord.
To illustrate his “cuck” he took a picture from
Lesufi’s Twitter feed of the Minister in the jeans he wore in case he had to
jump over a fence to get into a Johannesburg
crèche that was said to be separating white and black kids during meal times.
“Here you have Gauteng MEC for
Education @lesufi ready to jump a fence to take pics of toddlers. Fucking Kaffir
pedo,” was his
inflammatory comment
Instead of blasting off against his incredibly uncouth
detractor he showed the kind of maturity not yet displayed in similar
circumstances in South
Africa . He also didn’t rush off to lay a
complaint to the Equity Court
in the hope that it would be able to track down and nail this racist in the
same way it had done with former estate agent Penny Sparrow. She was fined
R150 000 for calling Black beachgoers monkeys.
No, he did nothing more than to politely tweet, “Don’t
call me with the K-word please.” This just goaded @uncucklord to hurl further
abuse at him with the use of the K-word and the question as to why he was not
wearing “piss-soaked animal skins” as this was his “traditional attire.”
Again he kept his
cool with this reply: “This one keeps calling me with the K-word. I’m not going
to block him. He must just enjoy insulting me.”
The Minister was referring to Hendrik Verwoed, South Africa's Prime Minister who was credited with being the architect of apartheid |
It was obvious that this gutter snipe stuff was coming
from a White person.
The Minister subsequently told his 27 200
followers: “Racists can insult me as they wish, but my commitment to a non-racial, equal and quality education
for all our children remains unshakeable.
“Their children will study, dance and play with our
children in one class and drink water from the same tap. If this hurts racists
hard luck.”
The Times reported that he said his parents had taught
him “to respect those who hate you, as it is through respect that you can
change your enemy.”
Well done again Panyaza .
Nothing annoys people more when you don’t react as expected however much they
insult you.
By taking punitive action
against these gutless snipers too scared to show themselves you only turn them
into heroes among their own kind. You put them in the lime light they are
craving. And then the racialism wrecking ball carries on dividing our society.
Regards
Jon, a Minister Panyaza Lesufi ADMIRER.
P.S.
Here’s a group who would have done well Mr Minister to have had your sensible
approach. The case of course was very different. There was no racialism
involved. All I did was take four journalists to task for using foul language
on twitter. The significance was that they wouldn’t be allowed to use the same
words when writing for the publications they worked for, so I argued that by
using them on Twitter they were damaging their own and the reputations of
whoever employed them. And even though they were in the business of criticising
other people, all but one of them could not take it from me, so they BLOCKED ME
on Twitter. The Blockers
*Note: “Cuck” is short for cuckold. It has been given all kinds of meanings
most of them very racist and disgusting. But it is apparently most commonly
used on Twitter to describe anti-white Whites. I can’t see where that fits in
this case. Another definition which is appropriate is that it is an
“unscrupulous person.”
You can’t of course have fewer scruples than Summer
Starstead who the Minister assumed is a man, but if Sparrow’s actions are
anything to go by there could be a woman behind it.
