A Word In Your Ear (Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota)

Bigots don’t have a colour Mosiuoa,
but like you they’re known to attack
out the of dark alleyways they lurk in.

Racists are colourless too, preferring
to hack their victims with racial hate
expressed in effete epithets disguised

as rational discourse. Your amazing
tirade directed at an old white lady
preferring to live in Australia, where

she was born, says you are less free of
the same racial prejudices you claim
motivates disaffected Whites to leave

the Republic of South Africa. It would
have been reasonable to keep your
invective free of slurs against Australia,

but that didn’t occur either. So we have
to share in the old lady’s ‘crime’ where
your cure is worse than the condition.

As Defence Minister your role surely petitions
even-handed duty-of-care for all South Africans?
Or do you only defend the Black ones?
