Afriforum launches complaint with Education Department about racist cartoon in Grade 9 Geography test-paper showing fat white man being spoonfed by thin black man alongside the question: "Which of these two men has a longer life-expectancy?
27 November 2014
Afriforum civil-rights group plans placing a formal complaint with the Education department authorities about the 'very disturbing' illustration in one of the
Grade Nine geography questionaires. The illustration portrays a fat white man being fed by a thin black man who could also be a slave.
"It is disturbing that this question is being illustrated in such a manner even though it's satirical in nature.
"Why is it necessary to differentiate according to race and class to establish what a person's life-expectancy would be?
That is discriminating and unnecessary,' commented Carien Bloem, head of Afriforum's educational campaigns.
Afriforum wants an explanation as to why such an illustration was allowed in the test-paper in the first place.
"We would also like to know what Minister Angie Motshekga 's viewpoint is about this matter.
"We will never reach a point of equality when pupils at school level are exposed to such propagandistic material,' said Bloem
