The African Christian Democratic Party Western Cape leader,
Ferlon Christians MPP, welcomes the action taken by UCT vice-chancellor, Dr
Price, in addressing all students and staff with a letter concerning the racial
abuse by UCT students.
Christians said The ACDP agrees with his statement that
there will never be any justification for racial attacks of any nature.
Christians said though the ACDP does severely condemn these
attacks, we also feel that the students, in a cognitive rationale of historical
events, are immature, and that the correct punishment should be handed down in
light of this.
Christians said these attacks have also shown that victims
can act with decorum in addressing the matter and handling the situation in the
proper manner.
“Despite 20 years of democracy, the fact that issues such
as these are still around is just an indication of how much harder we should
work on repairing ills of the past Christians added.
