Shocking Proposal From South Africa's Ruling Party Would Implement Race Quotas for Water Use
Townhall ^ | 06/07/2023 | Leah Barkoukis

South Africa’s opposition party is blasting the ruling African National Congress over draft regulations that would introduce race quotas for water use licenses for businesses.

The proposed regulations (see page 91-92), which were published by Minister of Water Senzo Mchunu on May 19, would prove devastating to business sectors like agriculture and forestry, which reportedly account for about 60 percent of the country’s total water use.

Under the ANC’s new water race quotas, applicants that use more than 250 000 m3 or withdraw more than a set minimum amount from streams need to meet strict racial quotas in order to get access to water – the single most critical resource required for life, livestock, agriculture and industry. Depending on the size of their water need, farmers or companies that have not “allocated” between 25% and 75% of its shares to what the regulations call “blacks,” will be denied access to water. […]

Under these water race quotas, livestock will be left to die from thirst because a farmer has the “wrong” skin colour. Fields will go fallow because those who till it are “undesirable.” Hundreds of thousands of workers, from all backgrounds, will lose their jobs as the parched agriculture and mining industries wither and die. (Democratic Alliance)

The move is being sought as part of the ruling party’s efforts to redress racial injustices under apartheid. In April, President Cyril Ramaphosa's signed the new Employment Equity Amendment Act into law, which implements race quotas for 18 economic sectors.

“It is now beyond all doubt that the ANC, led by Cyril Ramaphosa, is reintroducing racial discrimination across all sectors of society on a scale not seen since 1994,” opposition leader John Steenhuisen of the Democratic Alliance said in a statement. “They are doing so in order to divide and rule. The ANC knows it is on track to lose its majority in 2024 and it hopes to use race quotas to incite racial division for narrow electoral gain.

“They do not care one bit about the consequences this will have for an economy that is already crippled by ANC-engineered load shedding, the collapse of our currency, and growing capital flight,” he added.

Who could have seen this coming? Oh ya, anyone with a working brain.

Africa, on the whole, is the most racially bigoted place on the plant. Always has been.

They’re going backwards in time. This sounds like a scenario in Pakistan, where a Christian could be stoned by Muslims for daring to drink or bathe from the ‘wrong’ running stream.

Are they going to institute a “one drop” rule, too?

The world has gone absolutely nuts over race.

If this gets passed in SA, it won’t matter because there won’t be any power for anybody anyway. Just like the Eskom electric utility in SA — nobody gets power because everything crumbled. Just like the greenhouses in “Palestine” don’t grow food after the Israelis turned them over. It’s the same playbook everywhere you look.

We walk in the same style shoes as the Jews did in 1933 Germany.

There is nothing shocking about water rationing based on race in South Africa.

It will happen in the United States of America if we let it get started.

KALIFORNIA has already started the ball rolling with this:

SEE HERE:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/06/california-income-based-electricity-fees-2025

Richer people pay more: California to set electricity bills based on people’s income; The more you make, the higher your electricity rates.

They could have followed California’s example. Base the water restrictions on income (with exceptions, of course, for certain groups) in the name of ‘equity’.

Give Blacks power and their racism and dictatorial nature come out full force. Many examples of it are seen in Mayors in the USA.

Avoid the temptation to live in a real big house. Live in a neighborhood police do. They will have guns and to protect their family they’ll do well to protect you and your family.

Don’t try to expand your business just to earn more money.

Contract your business in so much as necessary and possible.

Retire as young as you can. Live well insomuch as still possible.

Have considerable wealth in foreign or multi-national stocks so you’ll have finances to be able to flee and live outside the USA. German Jews who lacked the wealth to flee Germany wound up in places like Dachau.

A Civil War II is not going to leave much left standing.

Well, Hollywood idiots are silent, because black majority imposing apartheid is ok, because blacks are imposing such regulations.

It was only evil when whites had apartheid laws imposed on blacks.

Hollywood idiots are not deep thinkers, nor do they have consistent standards on issues they preach about.
