Does Apartheid exists in Guyana?

Aug 23, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

In Yesterday’s Kaieteur News, GHK Lall wrote that he will go “where gods hesitate.”

Many readers, such as myself, accept that Mr. Lall is a reliable voice for the PNC and the coalition, and is a critic of the PPP government.  Sunday, his column transcends the usual dribble, from the ridiculous to the dangerous.

Mr. Lall wrote that, “I think the word ‘apartheid’ has meaning, substance, traction in today’s Guyana.”

Briefly explained, Apartheid was a system that denied black and non-white South African basic civil rights, such as the right to vote and high level jobs in government and elsewhere, etc. Inter-racial marriages were not permitted and there was widespread segregation.   It was a system where the minority population dominated the majority of coloured people politically, socially, and economically.

Does this system exist in Guyana?  Anyone who responds yes, insults the memory of the 20,000 black South Africans who were grotesquely murdered under the savagery of apartheid.

GHK Lall should be ashamed of himself!

Regards,
Chitrakha Persaud
