WATCH | Ernst Roets claims SA universities are teaching about ‘white genocide’

Ernst Roets

Cape Town — Afrikaner Foundation director Ernst Roets has proclaimed that universities are teaching students that white people are “sub-human”.

Roets conducted an interview with Tucker Carlson where he told him about a video trending online where “Nhlamulo ‘Nota’ Baloyi said white people were inferior human beings and said this narrative was pushed in universities.

“There’s a theory, there was this video that went viral on social media of this guy talking about how white people are subhuman. This is taught at universities in South Africa. This is taught at universities in South Africa. There is a theory called the Azania critical theory.  Azania is a Pan-African word for South Africa, and they actually get this from Americans, and they put an African flavour on it,” Roets said.

Roets said this theory justified the targeting and extermination of white Afrikaners in South Africa and explained how the theory works.

“There is an African term called ‘Ubuntu’, which means brotherlyness or about your internal humanity, and the theory goes that white people are incapable of having Ubuntu. But Ubuntu is the essence of humanity, so if you don’t have it, you are not truly human,” he said.

He said then that the killing of a white person does not constitute murder and said it has been taught by university professors in South Africa.

According to IOL, Human rights activist, Dr Tristan Kapp, dispelled Roets’ claims and said the Azania Critical Theory was “an intellectual framework that examins the impact of race and racism in South Africa, particularly through the lens of Azanian political thought.”

Kapp said the Azanian perspective challenges the legitimacy of the post-1994 democracy and argues that it does not address the foundation injustice of colonialism and Apartheid.

“Instead, Azanian thought advocates for a radical reimagining of the nation’s identity and structures, emphasising the need for decolonisation and the affirmation of black consciousness,” Kapp said.

Kapp went on to say that the theory does not teach that white people are inferior to black people. Rather, it critiques South Africa’s past and contemporary racial oppression systems.
