COPE TO SPLIT INTO TWO?

I’m often saddened by news regarding the Congress of the People or COPE. Saddened not by what is happening because I expected it, but saddened because over 1.3 million people effectively wasted their votes on COPE a year-and-a-half ago. And most of them are surely feeling that way. Five years is a long time to wait to rectify a mistake. Before the elections I warned that we must all vote as best as we can, and not waste our votes. It turns out COPE supporters wasted their votes.

AFRIFORUM: ARE GAYS, AFRICAN AMERICANS WELCOME TOO?


AfriForum Youth is a civil rights organization. We are campaigning for mother tongue education and the exemption of the youth from affirmative action.”

So says AfriForum’s Youth wing. AfriForum calls itself a civil rights movement that looks after the rights of minorities in what it calls the face of an ever-growing government hostility against minorities. Basically, from what I understand, AfriForum is a bigger Democratic Alliance.
