2.2.95
I have read numerous articles/literature in newspapers that
have racial undertones against Indians. Furthermore, political party
leaders
also tend to stir up trouble against Indians e.g. Mr Butheiezi accused Indians
of mostly voting for the ANC and Mr Mandela
accused Indians of mostly supporting
the National Party. Taking all this into consideration, all it will take is
something very
trivial to start up a campaign of death and destruction against
Indians. Believe me, Indians are being scapegoats for a number of
issues.
I would like to have in the Constitution a guarantee of
protection of life and property should there be a riot against Indians. If
South African protection mechanisms fail to safeguard Indians, then the
Government must allow for any other strong country that is
"pro-Indian" to step
in. I feel strongly that in such a situation, South African forces will turn a
blind eye and allow atrocities
to be carried out under their noses.
Thank
you
