Helen Zille says there are more racist laws today than under apartheid

[biometrics]

Can someone shut up this idiot?

• DA federal chairperson Helen Zille on Sunday said there are more racist laws today than under apartheid.
• Constitutional law experts, however, said apartheid laws existed to exploit black South Africans, while race-based laws today seek to undo the legacy of apartheid.
• All South African legislation also has to ascribe to the Constitution which prohibits discrimination unless to improve equality.

DA federal chairperson Helen Zille sparked a Twitter debate on Sunday when she tweeted that South Africa now has more racist laws than under apartheid.

Zille's comments followed after the DA lost a court bid to force the state to stop using Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEEE) status, race, gender, age or disability when considering who gets Covid-19 aid.

Today even the contentious issue of land reform does not make use of race, and white South Africans have placed successful land claims in terms of it.

then list them helen, dont just shoot from the hip.

their reasoning for racist laws today is bullshit

Constitutional law experts, and a Nelson Mandela Foundation researcher, however, said apartheid legislation cannot be compared to democratic-era legislation as the former was designed to exclude, exploit and oppress the majority.

and now its used for those things against a minority.
