Die president, mnr Jacob Zuma, behoort eerder te fokus op oplossings vir plaasmoorde, in plaas daarvan om emosionele uitbarstings te laat uitvoer deur sy diplomatieke personeel.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TLU SA se Assistent-Hoofbestuurder: Kommunikasie, mnr. Henk van de Graaf, het teruggekeer van \u2018n besoek aan Gen\u00e8ve waar hy die kwessie van plaasmoorde gaan voorl\u00ea het aan die VN se Menseregtekomitee se Forum vir Minderheidsaangeleenthede.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cAs mnr. Zuma en sy regering sy plig sou gedoen het soos die Grondwet dit van hom vereis, deur onder andere die boere te beskerm teen fisiese uitwissing, sou ons nie nodig gehad het om die w\u00eareld se aandag op hierdie situasie te gaan vestig nie,\u201d s\u00ea mnr. Van de Graaf, nadat hy en die bestuur van TLU SA deeglik besin het oor veral die optrede van me Tsholofelo Tsheole by dieselfde beraad.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cMnr. Zuma sal moet verduidelik of hy en sy ANC-regering hulleself wil verbind tot die oplossing van plaasmoorde, en daardeur \u2018n eerste stap wil gee na verantwoordelike regering, en of hy verkies om soos sy gesant gedoen het, met die \u201cstruggle\u201d voort te gaan deur feite met emosionele uitbarstings te beantwoord. Daarmee het hy Suid-Afrika in die o\u00eb van die internasionale gemeenskap behoorlik belaglik gemaak.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cDie gesant se aanbeveling aan die VN dat di\u00e9 strenger keuring moet toepas op minderheidsinstansies wat daar verteenwoordig kan word, is nie net \u2018n klap in die gesig van Suid-Afrikaanse minderhede nie, maar ook minderhede van ander w\u00earelddele. Dit beklemtoon ook dat die Zuma-regering in wese net lippediens aan minderhede betuig, en dat hy nie ernstig is om ook die Grondwetlike regte wat aan minderhede toegeken is, werklik te laat toepas nie,\u201d s\u00ea mnr. Van de Graaf.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
TLU SA se Hoofbestuurder, mnr. Bennie van Zyl, s\u00ea dat totdat mnr. Zuma en sy regering hulle plig teenoor die landbougemeenskap gaan nakom, sal TLU SA voortgaan met hierdie soort internasionale bewusmakingsaksies.<\/p>\n
