‘They Hate White People in Public but Depend on Them in Private’: Bheki Mtolo Sparks Debate

Former African National Congress (ANC) KwaZulu-Natal provincial secretary Bheki Mtolo has stirred controversy after launching a strong attack on politicians across different political parties, accusing some of displaying anti-white attitudes in public while allegedly embracing white communities and lifestyles in their private lives.

Mtolo claims that certain political leaders use anti-white rhetoric when addressing the public, particularly during political campaigns, to win support, gain influence and advance their ambitions. However, he argues that their personal choices tell a completely different story.

Questioning what he considers political hypocrisy, Mtolo pointed out that some politicians who openly criticise white people allegedly send their children to schools where white teachers work. He also claimed that some prefer living in neighbourhoods predominantly occupied by white residents.

He further questioned why politicians who frequently express negative sentiments towards white people allegedly choose white lawyers, employ white personal bodyguards and seek medical services from healthcare facilities where white professionals play important roles.

According to Mtolo, the contradiction extends to their children’s education and upbringing, with some reportedly choosing schools where English is widely spoken and white professionals are prominent.

His comments suggest that certain politicians may be using racial divisions as a political strategy rather than genuinely believing in the positions they promote publicly.

The former ANC provincial secretary’s remarks have reignited discussions about political honesty, racial prejudice and whether some leaders practise what they preach when cameras are no longer watching.

South Africa continues to grapple with the painful legacy of apartheid, making issues surrounding race and racial relations particularly sensitive. Political parties and their leaders have frequently faced criticism over statements accused of deepening racial divisions, especially during election campaigns.

Mtolo’s controversial allegations are likely to attract mixed reactions from political leaders, party supporters and members of the public, as questions continue to emerge about the gap between politicians’ public statements and their private lifestyles.
