A new study has revealed that Brandon Huntley, who has been granted asylum in Canada after claiming to have been attacked by blacks several times, is the new black. Or more precisely, the former Capetonian is the descendant of one Francina van der Kaap, a woman “of colour”, and more than half of his relatives are similarly coloured – in the verbal sense.
This is according to social historian Patric Tariq Mellet who says he himself shares Huntley’s colourful lineage.
Cape Spanish?
“We are in fact a family with a proud tradition of being mixed. We are a Creole family.”
Further, said Mellet, Huntley’s cousin – and Mellet’s half-sister’s son – lives in common-law partnership with an African woman in Khayelitsha, and Huntley’s uncle married across the colour line, as did his grandparent’s siblings.
Writing on the Cape-Slavery- Heritage blog this week, Mellet said his maternal grandparents, William Huntley and Mary-Anne Haddon-Huntley, were Brandon’s great-grandparents.
“I’ve verified this through death notices and through the Cape Town archives,” he said.
“Over 50 percent of Brandon’s relatives are people of colour in Cape Town and don’t share his attitudes (on race).”
According to Mellet: “Brandon’s great-great-grandmother, Francina, was a woman of colour, married to … William Haddon, one of the first Englishmen to settle in the Xalanga district of the Transkei in the mid-‘0s.”
Meanwhile, Melanie Crete- Huntley wants a divorce from her “racist” crime refugee husband – and then she wants to visit South Africa.
Let’s face it, it’s a complete fuck show.
I was wondering if you also picked up that photos have emerged of Brandon Huntley with an old South African flag on his chest? Ja, two years after the fall of apartheid. FACT! More about that here.
Unreal. If I picked up a novel and read what has happened so far in this Brandon Huntley saga, I’d put it down at this point and exclaim, “what a load of crap.” Then I’d probably hit the bottle – shaking my head and mumbling, rocking from side to side in a little ball until I fell asleep. THAT is how unbelievably crazy this story is getting.
This oke is going to be deported from Canada. He’s going to come back to South Africa and he is going to have to deal with a backlash of epic proportions. Tell us when HE flies into Cape Town, Julia Malema, and I’m sure you’ll get some people at the airport to welcome him.
But the big question on everyone’s minds is not the airport welcome ceremony, but rather : when he comes back, will he take advantage of SA and claim BEE status?
