Deputy President Paul Mashatile has defended the national government of national unity , citing one of the ANC’s founders Pixley ka Isaka Seme and former president Oliver Reginald Tambo. Speaking at 30 years of democracy celebrations recently, Mashatile compared the coalition to historic efforts to achieve unity.
“The demon of racialism, the aberrations of the Xosa-Fingo feud, the animosity that exists between the Zulus and the Tongaas, between the Basutos and every other Native must be buried and forgotten; it has shed among us sufficient blood! We are one people. These divisions, these jealousies, are the cause of all our woes and all our backwardness and ignorance today,” Mashatile said quoting Pixley.
He also highlighted the need for a national dialogue to tackle unresolved issues affecting South Africans, particularly the impoverished.
