Dr Allan Boesak is a veteran struggle stalwart and anti-apartheid activist.
He is a cleric, politician, activist and campaigner for justice. Boesak has always been vocal against injustice, from the days of apartheid right into a democratic dispensation. As the now defunct United Democratic Front prepares to celebrate the 40 years since it was formed, Dr Boesak has come out guns blazing, criticising the organisers of hypocrisy.
He says they are vocal when it suits them. This follows him being invited to the event, an invitation which he declined. The 78-year-old Kakamas-born cleric has not hidden his unhappiness about the current state of affairs.
Our Political Editor Mzwandile Mbeje sits down with Dr Allan Boesak.

Any man and woman who calls out the double standards of media, civic organization and commentators who called out former Pres. Zuma but duck and hide when its time to call out the current president I will take my two minutes to listen to. Dr Boesak has put in some solid facts and we have to commend him for that brave voice.

Does he need to? All hos life was about taking their issues up but what happened in 1994 and continies to happen in the Western Cape? Zapiro even had a damning caricature about the 1994 general election outcome in the Western Cape. Go read what Hernus Kroel and Izack De Villiers said about coloured people who by the way returned the National Party to power in 1994 because they followed Pieter Marais, Gerald Morkel etc. A people who have suffered longer than most under white supremacy and are still suffering under it who then reward their oppressors with the power to continue their oppression. Please make clear distinctions about issues so it doesn't get muddled with other issues.

An ex colleague of mine was a direct beneficiary of the fraud case Dr Boesak was a sacrificial lamb for. He (ex colleague) and others in ANC used funds for advancement of the liberation in SA. Governance and control systems were weak, but then again we were in a war, how on earth will you account for monies (and produce receipts) for people who went underground to join ANC (that was banned)? I think he was given a 15 jail sentence but was granted a presidential pardon. He spent less than 3 years in prison. ANC and it's government failed Dr Boesak. It lacked testicular fortitude and did not defend it's own. But then again, the same ANC under UDF, campaigned for Winnie Mandela to be sidelined in the ANC because of the accusation of the Stompie matter. ANC is rotten to the core. It's hopes for renewal were pinned on Ramaphosa. Lo behold, the very same thing it did in not having Zuma be held accountable over the Nkandla matter, it repeated the same over the Cryil Phala-phala matter. ANC is dead!

of course he starts by telling us not to believe wikipedia. these are facts though, verifiable facts: After a three-month investigation, the Johannesburg law firm issued a 600-page report damning of Boesak's conduct. Boesak, the report said, had 'enriched himself substantially' by diverting funds to buy a luxury house and to pay for an inflated salary, vacations, his second wedding and his new wife's business debts. Only a quarter of the foundation's income had gone to projects intended by Scandinavian donors to help apartheid victims. Boesak's response was to deny all responsibility, to blame his staff and to claim that he was a victim of racism.[17] It was at the start of this trial that the phrase "struggle bookkeeping" was coined.[18] The term was used to justify struggle icons' use and abuse of international donor funding for private purposes.[18]

You could be under the impression that only a MD's ( Medical Doctor ) are called Doctor - A medical degree is a vocational degree ( like a teaching degree ) and is not equivalent - but below a PHD ( Doctorate ) degree .Any person who obtained his PHD studied for many years- 1st Bachelors, Honours, Master and finally PHD - which is called a Doctor of Philosophy . The reason people with PHD qualifications are called DR - its an academic qualification and title. A PHD is a research qualification( Dr Boesaks was theology) that represents the pinnacle of academic qualification. . With this qualification people are refered to academics and you find most are lectures at universities - they also employed in the private sector . MD- Medical Doctor who study to PHD level and who are employed at universities are called professor who teach medical students . Although Dr Boessk is a reverend- he obtained the academic title Dr. When you have a PHD and you employed fulltime at a university you are called a professor. If you not employed fulltime but lecture at the university you called DR.

What’s the point of apartheid “ended” means if a land reform is not done. 90% of the land is still controlled in a white minority hand. How can you have justice for the native South Africans when someone else’s still in charge of the land. We all know ownership of the land is important why it’s not discussed?

Anywhere in the world if you want land you have to buy it. If the majority of the land is owned by white people it’s because they paid for it. So get off your p0eph01 and go w0§k.
