Niemöller is back with another blistering Open Letter to Ramaphosa

Loading player...
In the immediate aftermath of last July’s riots and looting, a BizNews community member whom I’ve known and respected for decades, penned a powerful Open Letter to president Cyril Ramaphosa. The author’s name was withheld to avoid unnecessary retaliation against themselves or their organisation. It struck a chord, with 300 000 people reading it and over 180 000 watching the YouTube version (and over 1 000 commenting on it). The author, whose nom de plume honours the anti-Nazi pastor/activist Martin Niemöller, is back with a bang. Warning: not for the politically correct wokies. – Alec Hogg Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
