Phil Craig: “Watershed” Anti-Racialism Bill to test former opposition parties in the GNU…
Update: 2025-01-16
Description
A Bill to bring an end to all race-based policy and legislation in South Africa has been launched. But Phil Craig, whose Referendum Party is behind the Bill, says while it is getting strong support from the public, the support from the established political parties has been “disappointing” thus far. The next step is the submission of the Non-Racialism Bill to the Parliamentary Committee on Justice and Constitutional Development. “Are they going to say, well, look, this Bill is important to me, stand with it, or are they going to vote with the ANC to effectively block this bill and maintain race-based policy? And then we'll all know.” Also giving an update on the fight for Cape Independence, Craig says: “We have to build a beachhead of political power so we can then force that decision down onto the Western Cape government and obviously we'll be able to use the private referendum as a means to build pressure…” Meanwhile, he predicts that “the more the GNU is exposed as a shallow compromise that isn't a long-term solution, the more our vision of self-determination for different communities, including the Western Cape, is going to come to the fore”.
