Former Carte Blanche anchor Ruda Landman has criticised Solidarity’s decision to erect a billboard accusing South Africa of racially discriminating against white people, and in particular Afrikaners.
The journalist is one of many Afrikaner professionals who have signed the “Not In My Name” open letter to US President Donald Trump.
In it, the group challenged the narrative that the minority group were victims of “racial persecution”.
RUDA LANDMAN DISMISSES CLAIMS ABOUT AFRIKANER ‘RACIAL DISCRIMINATION’
Speaking to social activist Bianca van Wyk, Ruda Landman revealed why she chose to sign the “Not In My Name” open letter.
She said: “I was furious that people were talking such nonsense and doing it in the name of a group of people in which I grew up [Afrikaners].
“We are not all like that, you are definitely not speaking for me”.
Ruda also criticised Solidarity’s decision to erect a billboard that read: “South Africa is the most race-regulated country in the world”.
She continued: “The people who are putting up signs next to the highways before the G20 Summit are insulting my country.
She added, “Our fellow South Africans, we do not all agree with this”.
WHERE IS FORMER CARTE BLANCHE PRESENTER NOW?
Ruda Landman is widely known for being one of the faces behind M-Net’s investigative show Carte Blanche.
The journalist joined the show alongside the late Derek Watts in 1988 and ultimately left almost 30 years later.
Since leaving the show, Ruda has focused on other ventures like charity work, travelling, and even filmmaking.
She has also developed study material for students around South Africa.
