Opposition parties, some interest groups and private individuals are busy lobbying agianst the use of the songs that remind most of us of our being today, songs that remind us how have we come into to be this new South Africa and thus they deny us the emplicit right of embracing our freedom in the languages we cry in.

The death of Eugene Terre'Blanche and the songs "Shoot the Boer" as it was sang by Julius Malema not long ago have got nothing in common if we are to read onto them by context applications.  Julius Malema had every right to sing that song, he is black, and has been denied the right to attend, enjoy and participate the privilages of the past in one way or another. When he sang the song, he did not mean that someone must kill the few remaining people who were behind aparthied. He was merely celebrating and embracing his freedom, the black freedom and the union of races in South Africa. 

There is only one reason that I can link with the claims that that worry most of the oppostition parties today. As difficult as it may be to prove the existance of aoarthied in South Africa today, it is there. I experience it almost everyday in Cape Town metro and in East London. We have seen it claiming dignity of the black women who happened to be the cleaners at the University of Free State last year and the justice system of South Africa and the UFS senate doing nothing clear to address such incidence. 

The murders of Eugene Terre'Blanche deserve to be jailed, thats it. No politicozation on the matter - South Africa needs no murders no matter how extreme issues can be. I find it very disturbing to be politicizing the death of a man, a house head, a husband and a father and a leader like this. I personally feel that whilst the opposition parties think are doing the 'right' thing they are actually putting no value in the mourning of the death of Eugene Terre'Blanche. There are many issues to pick up on if one want to identify the need to respond to oppression in one way or the other, not at the expense of the death of a man, a human being.

Black or white, in South Africa we align ourselves with the values of UBUNTU. Where are those values when one starts to boil debates on racism, oppression and revenge at the expense of the death of a human being, particularly at this case - the death of Eugene Terre'Blanche.

Fellow South Africans, let us stop the habit of disturbing the mourning of one person's death. It is not acceptable and will never be moral however one wants to justify it. It is not wrong or bad to identify the areas that we need to respond to urgently as a society in transition but let us do that no at the expense of anyone but at the right time.
