Patriotic whites must disown Sodwana's Andre Slade

29 June 2016

The IFP has joined a chorus of condemnations against the owner of the Sodwana Bay Guest Lodge, Andre Slade whose lodge does not accommodate blacks and government officials. Following Slade’s defiant justification of racism which he supported biblically, IFP Deputy National Spokesperson, Joshua Mazibuko issued a statement in which he said:

“As IFP we are deeply shocked by the defiant attitude displayed by Mr. Andre Slade who claims that his racist attitudes are biblically-based. For several centuries Africans and blacks in general suffered under colonialism and apartheid whose protagonists used Holy Scriptures to back their twisted logic. It cannot be that twenty-two years into a democracy we still have people with such disgusting attitudes.”

“We call on all patriotic South Africans, especially whites, to disown Mr. Slade. He is one of the problems that threaten stability in our country.”
