Humansdorp - Democratic Alliance leader Tony Leon on Monday lambasted President Thabo Mbeki for continuing to blame South Africa's problems on the past, and accused him of using hate speech.

DA（民主联盟，一个代表白人的政党）领袖Tony Leon在星期一痛斥了现总统姆贝基把现在南非的问题都归于历史原因，并控告他发表了仇恨的演说。

In a speech prepared for delivery in Humansdorp, in the Eastern Cape, Leon said Mbeki had stated on Sunday that "for 10 years we have been working to correct the same things the Boers did to us".

在姆贝基向东开普省的Humansdorp送达的演说稿中，姆贝基在星期天发言为“过去十年我们正为纠正布尔人给我们的一切而工作”

"That is hate speech. When AgriSA offers the president even the slightest praise, he is quick to proclaim it to the world.

"And yet when he is on the campaign trail, he feels free to abuse the farmers for his own populist purposes," Leon said.

Such behaviour was completely inappropriate for a head of state. It fell into the same category as the president's "reprehensible remark that he would beat his sister if she fancied the leader of an opposition party".

"The president must act like a head of state, not like the leader of some radical fringe movement.

"Instead of a president who dishes out abuse, South Africa needs leaders that have positive and constructive proposals for building our country's future," Leon said.
