Boer Man Says That Social Welfare Recipients Must Not Be ALLOWED To Vote Because They Hold Us Back.
Reneilwe Morema reports on a shocking statement made by South African media personality Gareth Cliff, who suggested that people receiving social welfare grants should not be allowed to vote. Cliff — a former Idols SA judge who was previously fired after agreeing with a white caller who referred to Black people as “monkeys” — is once again under fire for comments widely viewed as elitist, anti-poor, and deeply undemocratic.
His remark has sparked national outrage, with critics arguing that he is promoting voter suppression and revealing the persistent racist undertones in South Africa’s public discourse. Cliff’s comments raise serious concerns about whose voices are valued in a democracy, and how far some individuals are willing to go to uphold white privilege and economic gatekeeping.
