The DA questioned ANC president Jacob's Zuma's Thursday statement that Afrikaners are the only true South Africans among the whites in South Africa."In singling out white Afrikaners as the only true white South Africans, Jacob Zuma has revealed an ethnically and racially blinkered world view in conflict with our Constitution," said Democratic Alliance MP Desiree van der Walt.
"The preamble to our Constitution says that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity. It does not say that some people have more of a right to call themselves South African than others," Van der Walt said.
Earlier, Zuma said: "Of all the white groups that are in South Africa, it is only the Afrikaners that are truly South Africans in the true sense of the word."
He was addressing representatives of various Afrikaner agricultural, women's and cultural organisations in Johannesburg.
