Lekota compares ANC to National Party of the old days

November 17, 2008 by evl

Lekota says that the ANC is being like the National party was during the times of apartheid. Lekota said: (from IOL)

"There is great fear here. People are terrified, just as they were under apartheid, when the ANC was banned. During that time, if the National Party government discovered what was in our hearts and minds we were arrested, lost our jobs, and some even got killed,"

I am not that old but I can remember the National Party. I dont have a opinion though i might have been a bit young to realise what was going on. But according to them it was bad, and now the ANC is doing the same to the Congress of the people. The closer the general election comes of 2009 we are starting to see the true colours of the ANC. According to IOL Lekota also said:

"Many people who wanted to be here have not come, after seeing what happened at the other meetings. "People think that if they come to these meetings the people in government will discover they were here. When people are afraid of a party, it means it no longer represents them,"
