Instead of reporting the renaming of Pretoria for what it is, cultural genocide, the BBC instead chooses to condone such behaviour.
The BBC has also revealed an ugly racist side of their reporting with the following,
"Pretoria was named after Andries Pretorius, a folk hero of the Afrikaner group, which set up apartheid."
Andries Pretorius was a Boer and the Boer capital of Pretoria was named after him. The BBC should well know who the Boer people are since it was their country that committed invasion and criminal acts of aggression against them including the internment and killing of Boer women and children in the world´s first concentration camps.
Instead of reporting on the legitimate claims for compensation for which the Boer people are entitled, instead the BBC chooses to label the Boer people ¨colonist¨s.¨ The BBC should be challenged on these issues and an apology should be demanded of them.
I encourange you all to join me in expressing my discust at such biased reporting. |
