Dan Corder drags Ernst Roets on 'race laws' on Piers Morgan show
Radio and TV personality Dan Corder has been praised for 'mopping the floor' with former AfriForum leader Ernst Roets on the Piers Morgan show this week. The outspoken duo were part of a panel of South Africans who debated topics like 'race laws', 'white genocide', and economic transformation in the country. Others included SABC reporter Sophie Mokoena and ex shock jock, Gareth Cliff. During the episode, Piers Morgan questioned the panel on their views of South Africa's race relations and controversial headlines in recent weeks. This comes after the countries' presidents, Donald Trump and Cyril Ramaphosa, met for bilateral talks in the White House last week. While all the speakers agreed that there was no 'white genocide' in South Africa, Ernst Roets and Gareth Cliff claimed that there was legislation in place that discriminated against white South Africans. Sophie Mokoena – who called out President Trump for spreading misinformation – called for leaders to be held accountable for their words and actions. Dan Corder came out guns blazing against Roets's claims of '142 racist laws'. Calling out 'historical rigging' and 'privilege', he said: 'The vast majority of white South Africans have a better quality of life than the vast black South Africans could.' Corder also accused Roets of 'hilarious lying and grifting', 'He doesn't name you a single race law that genuinely has anything wrong with it…What they tried to do was deluge hundreds of laws and hope that nobody would read them. But I went through their list. 'The vast majority of the laws say there needs to be meaningful representation in South Africa to reflect our country fairly on three things: race, gender, and disability. These grifters will say that they are race laws…why aren't they calling them sexist laws…why aren't they saying that able-bodied people are completely disadvantaged?' Dan Corder went on to name one such law deemed 'racist' – the Public Services Act – which is to 'address imbalances of the past to achieve a public service that broadly represents the South African people, including representation according to race, gender and disability'. He added, 'We now have a black middle class in South Africa. Sure, it hasn't helped enough black people, and it has a long way to go. [But] the South African government has hired black people into public service and given them reliable, deserved jobs, which have lifted them out of poverty. That didnt exist [before]. There is active transformation happening with these polices'. Dan Corder also took on Ernst Roets' claims that farm murders were disproportionate to murders of other races. He said: 'Crime patterns are absolutely clear across the country, the richer and whiter you are, the less likely you are to suffer from crime. 'The poorer and blacker you are, the more likely you are 'There is no evidence of targeted race-based murders. The vast majority of murders affecting all kinds of people are particularly brutal, awful, and garish. It's not unique to farm murders. It happens all the time in all communities. He continued: 'White farmers suffer less crime than black farmers and farmers of colour because they are better protected by their wealth, which is often corollary with their race'. After the Piers Morgan Uncensored episode aired, Dan Corder soon became a trending topic on the X platform. Music producer Prince Kaybee posted: 'Lol Ernst Roets must stop defending fake news, he couldn't defend the so-called race-based laws. Dan cooked him on a two-plate stove with ease. What a marvellous display of 'beating an entitled child' if I may. DJ Mo Flava posted: 'Dan, you absolutely cooked here. Clear, concise, fact, direct'. Here's what others had to say: @XoliswaZondo: 'Well prepared. Argument brilliantly delivered. Articulation of facts backed up by statistics. Dan, you did not disappoint'. @TheRealConza: 'I am so proud of you. No emotions, no disrespect, no condescending tone, no sarcasm, just pure facts'. @Kgatishi_Lamola: 'I want to applaud you for being objective & speaking facts as they are. The truth is bigger than all of us.' Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 .

Afrikaner refugee's priviledged life in SA irks Americans
Two prominent US actors have reacted to a Dan Corder video criticising Afrikaner 'refugee' Charl Kleinhaus's privileged life in South Africa. The TV and radio personality called out the Mpumalanga businessman's claim of 'persecution' on the basis of his race. Last week, Kleinhaus claimed he left behind a 'five-bedroom house ' and, ironically, his mother in his desperate quest to flee the country. Over the weekend, Dan Corder posted a clip of him criticising Afrikaner 'refugee' Charl Kleinhaus. This comes after Kleinhaus – a Mpumalanga businessman – told the BBC that he had left behind a 'five-bedroom house' after he was 'threatened' by his community. 'If you are white, you are wrong in South Africa. I had nothing to do with Apartheid – nothing, nothing, nothing!', the 'refugee' said. In recent days, Charl Kleinhaus has been fingered by internet sleuths as being a well-connected granite mining entrepreneur. Social media users have also questioned the circumstances surrounding his departure as well as his motive of becoming an 'Afrikaner refugee'. Dan Corder also called out Kleinhaus for his anti-Semitic and Islamophobic past tweets, which the latter has defended. Corder's video was reposted by outspoken US actor and comedian DL Hughley. It was also liked by Oscar-winning screen star Viola Davis, who often shows love for South Africa on her own Instagram account. 'All this here', Hughley captioned the post. He later reposted a clip of social media commentator Pieter Kriel, who has been outspoken about the 'misinformation' spread by white South Africans. View this post on Instagram A post shared by realdlhughley (@realdlhughley) Meanwhile, another American is accusing President Donald Trump of showing 'preferential treatment' to white South Africans, or 'Afrikaner refugees'. TikToker @awondthegod3, who helps feed homeless Americans, has repeatedly criticised Trump's 'America First' stance. This comes after Trump's administration halted the refugee resettlement programme to other countries. He posted on one TikTok: 'Trump denied over 12 000 TRUE REFUGEES asylum, with his ban on immigration. Some of them had flights booked and had been waiting for years. 'What did it take for those South African, unvetted, alleged refugees to get a chartered flight to collect benefits?' He added: 'There's privilege in the air'.
