South African Government Demands Answers Over Canada's 'Racist' Decision To Give White Man Asylum

The South African government has ordered its ambassador to Canada to demand answers over the decision to grant refugee status to a South African because he is white. Brandon Huntley, 31, from Cape Town, said he had been stabbed three times by black robbers, who called him a 'white dog' and a 'settler' - a reference to South Africa's colonial past based on racial apartheid. He told the panel: 'There's a hatred of what we did to them and it's all about the colour of your skin.'
But the ruling ANC's Department of International Relations and Co-operation's spokeswoman, Nomfanelo Kota, described the decision as 'disgusting'. And a statement from the ANC described the decision as 'racist.'
It read: 'We find the claim by Huntley to have been attacked seven times by Africans due his skin color without any police intervention sensational and alarming.
'Canada's reasoning for granting Huntley a refugee status can only serve to perpetuate racism.'
Board chairman William Davis said: 'I find the claimant would stand out like a sore thumb due to his colour in any part of the country.'
He claimed Mr Huntley's evidence showed 'a picture of indifference and inability or unwillingness of the South African government to protect white South Africans from persecution by African South Africans'.

Alice Through The Looking Glass
South Africa is morphing into Zimbabwe and so is the USA.
I heard SA banned people from carrying firearms. Betcha they didn’t see this coming up the pipeline.
The guy is stabbed repeatedly due his skin color.
It would be racist NOT to grant asylum!
Sensational, huh? Alarming, huh? But they do not say his claim is false.
I’m getting very tired of racists claiming others are racists.
Oh you silly, silly boy. What has that got to do with anything? (/sarc)
The Bantu-Racists do not like it that they got cold-busted for hating whitey.....
The ANC is nothing but a racist, anti-semitic, pedophilic bunch of hooligans. Maybe its time to put another ban on South Africa...seems they got the New Apartheid going
Hmmm....Why would they do that? Hunting? Crime? Gun running? Steel/Aluminum shortage? Lead shortage? Somebody help me here.
Now all South Africa has to do is close ranks with Zimbabwe, Burma, and Venezula to strangle Canada into submission.
sounds like Detroit or Chicago?
It is much worse there.
There are five million three hundred thousand White South Africans, 11% of the population.
Dang... Doesn’t Gary Player still reside there? Why is he still there? Has he made any comments regarding the situation? Too many questions, no answers...
