The High Court in Pretoria has ruled in favour of First National Bank after bond recalculator Emerald van Zyl made claims of racism against the bank, the Business Day reported on Wednesday.

Absolutely. The only thing the government has is the race card, and honestly, who the hell takes offence to being called a racist these days? It means nothing.
 
The only way we will ever move on is when we stop blame apartheid and racism for our current problems. The ANC inherited a good country and system, it's not apartheid's fault you can't create jobs, corruption problems and horrid service delivery.
Eishkom ever got a working power network, can't blame the past because nobody figured out that a growing population and economy work increase demand. Now we are stuck playing catchup for stations that should have been built in advance.

However it's an easy card for the ANC to play to distract from their own shortcomings and cases like this follow their bad example.
