Canada shocked to learn Huntley wasn't last white in SA
2009-09-01 15:00
Hayibo.com - Immigration authorities in England have warned Canada to
expect a deluge of young, unemployable, white South Africans to arrive
in their country after an immigration and refugee panel, made up of
white folk who had never been to Africa, bought into former Cape Town
resident Brandon Huntley's paranoia and granted him refugee status.
"There won't be enough pubs and restaurants in Vancouver and Toronto to
employ them all," said an unnamed Home Office source.
On Monday
Huntley became the first white person to be granted refugee status in
Canada after claiming persecution from black South Africans.
Commenting
on the ruling a Huntley's friend, Hannibal Plettervat said, "Brandon
was mugged several times by black people. It was a clear case of
persecution. They also called him names."
Asked how muggings
could be equated to political or racial persecution Plettervat said he
didn't know. "But you can ask the tribunal," he said, "they'll be able
to tell you."
Asked what Huntley was likely to do now that he was
legally free to stay in Canada, Plettervat said his friend would
probably spend another few years there, at least until he had qualified
for a passport and saved some valuable foreign currency.
He
said that once those initial objectives had been achieved Huntley would
probably return home to South Africa, buy a house or a small farm and
settle down. "You know, the usual."
Meanwhile members of the
tribunal panel who ruled that "the claimant would stand out like a
'sore thumb' due to his colour in any part of the country,” reacted
with shock on hearing that there were in fact a further five million
white South Africans still suffering daily persecution.
"We
thought that maybe there were another hundred white people left," said
tribunal spokesperson Alba Snow. "We were ready to send a helicopter to
airlift them to safety," she added.
Snow admitted that evacuation
plans had been put on hold after video footage of Patricia Lewis live
in Brakpan had been downloaded from YouTube. "The only person that
stood out like a sore thumb in that video was a black sound engineer
who looked like he was bleeding out of both ears," she said.
She
said the tribunal realised they had it all wrong when further
investigation revealed that places like Loftus Versfeld, Constantia and
the opposition benches in parliament also contained, "more than their
fair share of whites."
