THE DA student wing's poster showing a young, mixed race couple in a clinch, entrenches the notion of "white supremacy", Cosatu in KwaZulu-Natal said
"It entrenches white supremacy that we fought against during the liberation struggle," said Cosatu provincial secretary Zet Luzipo.
He said the poster, crafted by the DA Students Organisation,was not about education. "The posture says 'join the DA to have an affair with a white person'.
"The DA thinks our Struggle was about the Immorality Act and Group Areas Act," Luzipo said.
"We will not be excited with having an affair with a white person."
He said if the DA wanted to discuss nonracialism, this would be welcomed.
"We must address inequality between black and white learners - how far we have come since 1994."
DA youth leader Makashule Gana said the poster was part of a campaign to create debate about race.
"They are embracing each other, and it shows we can find an opportunity to embrace each other."
