After yesterday’s #BlackMonday protests, local vlogger Adam Spires has taken a few minutes to get political and have his say. While Adam normally focusses on the brilliant things to see and do around the country, this time, he wanted to get some things off of his chest. The video is titled “Apartheid government vs ANC”.

What are the #BlackMonday protests?

The demonstrators wore black to show support for the 70 murdered farmers who lost their lives since the start of 2017. The final straw came when Stellenbosch wine farmer Joubert Conradie was shot dead in his residence last week Tuesday.

Along with the #BlackMonday movement, there was also the Genoeg is Genoeg (Enough is Enough) sister campaign that took place in the Western Cape on Monday. All together, it is estimated that some 10,000 citizens gathered for the morning protest in Klapmuts, before moving on to the city centre.

Adam’s Video: Apartheid government vs ANC

While the protesters were marred by appearances of the apartheid flag, Adam made an effort to stay away from the controversy and focus on what he believes to be the issue at hand: Murder.

The video begins with Adam describing the “issue” that he has, “a big one that can be best described through an analogy”.

“We have a previous government that was murderous, it was a horrible government and I’m glad they’re gone. But, it’s been replaced by a government that just completely neglects its people, completely!

The South African reached out to Adam to find out why it was time he spoke up.

“For me, it’s not about politics, it’s about common sense. There is either a serious lack of common sense or serious lack of morals within the leadership of this country.”

“I guess there comes a point where I have to say something and my medium is social media. Hopefully, we can unite the country and overcome the troubles we have because if we can’t then we are in for some seriously hard years ahead.”

In the video, Adam goes on to have his say on all things Jacob Zuma, poverty and the ANC. You can watch the video in full below. Do you agree with his stance?
