Terwyl die geweld en onrus ná die ontwrigting van ‘n universiteitsrugbywedstryd op die Bloemfonteinkampus steeds wyer uitkring, het die Afro-marxistiese organisasie ‘Reform PUK’ dreigbriewe aan rugby-afrigters op Potchefstroom gestuur. Onder die opskrif “Black Lives Matter” sê die groep dat hy “geen rugby Maandag” op die PUK-kampus gaan toelaat nie. Hier volg die volledige boodskap soos dit aan rugbybelanghebbendes op die Potchefstroomkampus gestuur is.
BLACK LIVES MATTER: NO VARSITY CUP RUGBY ON MONDAY
The events on Monday 22 February 2016 at the University of the (un)Free State have shook us and the rest of conscious South Africa to our core.
Black students protesting and interrupting the Varsity Cup rugby match were savagely beaten by barbaric white Afrikaner students and their parents.
Our hearts go out to the courageous Black students of the U.F.S. No one understands the fear and constant threat of physical violence as we do.
Please continue to protect each other.
Now is the time for us to stand up and publicly and loudly condemn this vicious attack!
Reform PUK is hereby demanding that campus management disassociate themselves with the tournament and cancel Monday 29 February 2016 match against the very same UFS that unashamedly continued the game after the attack.
A university that repeatedly professes to want equality and social justice can not continue to associate itself with a university and rugby team that viciously beats Black students.
We join the national call to protest or disrupt all Varsity Cup games and the organization and sponsors.Stop the match or we will arrive in our masses to disrupt it.
The comforts of whiteness will not be allowed to continue while Black students and workers’ needs are sidelined.
We sympathize and offer our support to the courageous Black students of the University of Pretoria. Our struggles over a language policy that protects white Afrikaner privilege while disregarding and excluding Black students from education, mirrors ours.
We stand in solidarity with you.
We call on all sympathizers, allies and friends to join us as we undertake this massive task.
Knowing full well that the attitudes, privilege and ignorant mindset that cause the attacks at UFS is bred in huge quantities on this campus.
We will not be deterred.
A luta Continua.
