'Cowards and backstabbers'

by
2009-04-21 13:05

Dear Editor,

As we are a day away from the national vote, I and the rest of South Africa have observed with horror and disgust the calibre of leadership in the current ANC and future Cabinet Ministers.

The ANC is full of men and women who are cowards, backstabbers and careerists who would do anything to protect their jobs and privileges

They do all this in the name of the "people" and they treat take the very same "people" they claim to represent as their voting slaves and possession.

As we go to the vote, I would like to place on record that SA is in for a massive down-turn, not because of racial reasons but the calibre of leaders coming into our government.

To the current ANC, being patriotic, more so when you are black, means belonging to the ANC; do not criticise them and if you criticise they must "like" your criticism! What a shame!

To my observation, those that served with former President Thabo Mbeki and approved and voted on his leadership, are dead quiet as he is being attacked by the power drunk Fikile Mbalula.

To prove how stupid Mbalula is, how can he address Mr Mbeki as "comrade" when he despises him so much? Does he know the real meaning of the word and when to use or not to use it?

Mr Kgalema Motlanthe is a lonely voice within that chaotic ANC who can be sober and show comradeship by speaking out when necessary. My heart bleeds as the "black on black" violence has been brought back by this ANC, not in gun and sticks but in deadly words and pulling down of fellow South Africans.

The big question: What kind of leadership is this? What kind of example are they setting for the man on the street? What did we as ordinary South Africans do to deserve this kind of leadership?

you need to fall down before you can get up again, there needs to violence before there can be peace, there needs to be failure before you can have success. its the way of world. peace and love is reserved for heaven, not earth.

Why do we think that politicians are better than unemployed barrow boys and girls. If politicians were worth anything they would be working for a living, not syphoning tax money. If they were honest they would NOT be in politics. All these letter are just more of the same. On Thursday I write about sex, drugs, rock&roll. It's fun and you can do it at home!!!!

tjk 4/21/2009 1:16:15 PM
We can't do much than to make our tick count and hope that our fellow South Africans make there tick mark where it will help take this country forward, away from racism, corruption, crime and general indecent behaviour. Glad to walk next to you on this road.

Johncarlos 4/21/2009 1:16:41 PM
After writing what u did, people will comment that ANC supporters are ignorant, uneducated masses who fall for a tooth-gap smile t-shirt (Juan's beloved)every 5 years. Surely an ignorant and uneducated 'mass' should be easy to persuade....where exactly did the DA's R60 mil campaign budget go? My parents live in a 350 000 strong region. Not a single party but the ANC has ever been there before. Every ANC president has been 5 houses away from my parents' house. Who really is d ignorant n stupid 1?

FOTA 4/21/2009 1:17:33 PM
Sounds too much like politics. I will rather publish 5 home brew recipes, each one of which will be guaranteed to get rid of the sour taste left after the elections.

Ajax 4/21/2009 1:19:05 PM
I think we as a country should be very ashamed of having a president with the likes JZ.

Tass 4/21/2009 1:19:27 PM
I can feel your pain but there is nothing you can do stop complaining like a baby Vote your cope and leave the ANC alone.what difference is btwn Thabo ANC and Jacob ANC.Mbeki wa hao was not approachable and most ANC members left ANC and now they are back they did not cry like babies when Mbeki was imposed on us by ANC leadership because they were his friends.The wheels have turned and you only notice this patheticness in the current ANC.

grant 4/21/2009 1:19:34 PM
Its so sad to see grown men carry on like children making words into ammunition i work out of south africa,and been around so many foreigners and listning to there comments about south africa ( the new government). It is embarrasing saying im a south african

Eish, you are heading for receipt of the militant strike of the ANCYL just as they are going to eliminate NANDOS.

Juan 4/21/2009 1:20:28 PM
Our leaders, or the people that voted for them in the first place?

Johncarlos 4/21/2009 1:21:14 PM
'A stupid person is one who does the same thing over and over again, and each time expects different results' is often used to describe ANC voters. That description describes opposition perfectly! To think other parties expect growth thru useless 1999 campaigning strategies....someone even today uses the 'Swart Gevaar' tactic and expects an unnassured voter like myself to support him/her....Really now! Both voters and parties are just as ignorant and stupid

joeverzi 4/21/2009 1:21:56 PM
Foetsek!!! Stop complaining and go and vote. Let's wait and see how things transpire after the elections. The ANC will win as they have my vote. Enough of bashing my anc.

oral 4/21/2009 1:22:06 PM
The goverment we currently have and will have for the next 10-15 years is there becuase the majority of the country wants them there! It has nothing to do with education or being fit for the position it all has to do with RACE, I believe that if Helen Zille was in fact black then the DA would be seriously challenging the ANC this elections. A country gets the goverment they deserve! I'm afraid the ANC has seriously lost its depth in good leadership!

Eyes Wide Open 4/21/2009 1:22:18 PM
Spot on! The collective noun for this bunch is "Zumanoids". It says it all

keith 4/21/2009 1:23:09 PM
are back-stabbers; however, the route the ANC has taken in changing the "man in power" is a good indication of the damage the current ANC format will cause within the country...the Rand has dropped as people around start to take a little more notice of us. The ANC is no longer the ANC, it is ZUMA - the man has become greater than the party and here in lies the problem.

Eles 4/21/2009 1:24:03 PM
They lie to voters spouting nonsense such as people will not receive grants,insight fear as to apartheid returning I still find it incredible that anyone falls for this rubbish. Has anyone taken the time to deconstruct what was promised in the previous election and what was delivered? The truth fellow South Africans is that you deserve better and the ANC circus are not interested in you just power and riches.

Tass 4/21/2009 1:24:05 PM
You sound like they are paying you to say this thinks.When tokyo,Cyril and phosa and other left the Anc to Thabo And lekota did you hear them make noises going to the media or they just walked out and they returned so nice and quit.What stopped lekota and shilowa from doing the same and TM.You cry as if Lekota was very nice to other comrades during conferences.I am not sure if you are an ANC member and if you ever attended meeting that were chaired by lekota?So get your fact straight.

Raldo 4/21/2009 1:24:43 PM
I just wished the majority who plans to vote for ANC starts to realise this

Mr Right 4/21/2009 1:24:52 PM
Gee Thobile, u make so much sense..unfortunately our majority is so selective, blind and nonsensical that objective views like yours are so rare!! Any opposing view is considered racist if presented by a white so what would a black person say about your article..perhaps I am part of the stereotypical puppet show in pre-empting response but geez this is what we have come to...

Paul 4/21/2009 1:25:00 PM
Well written letter but people will still blindly vote for the anc in the hope that they will get their act together.

Lindela 4/21/2009 1:25:18 PM
Our former President Thabo Mbeki contested the ANC leadership against the advice of the majority. Has one ever wondered, What if Mbeki had won in Polokwane? What would have stopped him and all his sympathisers from amendeing the consitituion so that he could be elected for the third time as the president of South Africa? love him or hate him, We owe Msholozi a big thank you for snatching the ANC presidency from the jaws of MBEKI thus saving the country from total dictatorship and nepotism

SimonP 4/21/2009 1:25:45 PM
"cowards, backstabbers and careerists" you forgot to mention CRIMINALS.

Fraud 4/21/2009 1:25:56 PM
A COPE supporter and a Mbeki worshiper (Cope's Dalai Lama). So I won't waste anymore of my words.

Jim 4/21/2009 1:26:13 PM
Don't cry us a river here now dude! You swallowed the ANC promises hook, line and sinker...even when they had less than 20% of the black popular vote in the 80s. But hey, nothing a couple of thousand necklace victims cannot change! You, I and the rest of the world have been taken for what must count as one of the best deliberate moral ponzi schemes in history!

Greg (WHITE SA CITIZEN) 4/21/2009 1:26:30 PM
Please explain how do you know this prior to the elections and the new government coming into power? Have you got something of a forsight that we as the general voting public don't know about? Negativity is not going to help this country move forward. Don't jump to conclusions.

cos 4/21/2009 1:26:34 PM
Well said. If only other ANC voters would take a minute to really think about what they are doing. Dont vote for a party just because of the "colour of their skin"; dont vote for what happened in the past - vote for the future, with a clear conscience for the sake of our children. Vote for truth, law & order, equal rights for all, no corruption - is that the ANC? I dont think so

Mxo! 4/21/2009 1:27:13 PM
You are just a bitter Mbeki loyalist. Why don't join COPE and stop worrying about the ANC?

Sad but True......Now take you VIVA and shove it! 4/21/2009 1:27:39 PM
You can all jump up and down that "your" ANC won but it changes nothing in the lives of those that need it most.For average Joe/Jill life goes on,we work we pay tax,etc...nothing significant from 15 years ago.Now go to the poor areas where they still wait on empty promises,their lives suffer.Regardless of ur party of choice,YOU ALL,still go to bed in FEAR for family because of CRIME! Nothing changes except,MORE POOR,MORE VIOLENT CRIME.ANC victory means nothing really.

piet 4/21/2009 1:28:53 PM
"cowards, backstabbers and careerists" That just cannot be! When I was a little liberal white student at UCT, all ANC people were gods, and all white people were devils! O please no, don't destroy my youth now! There is a Tooth Fairy huh?

J 4/21/2009 1:30:08 PM
Nothing but a bunch of selfish children. I'm very glad the writer of this letter can see through the lies that the ANC spins. Telling people who have limited education and who trust their authorities that Zille wants to bring back apartheid is just an abuse of power and the trust of your people.

Chooselife 4/21/2009 1:30:54 PM
The ANC is not leading the country for service delivery, job creation and upliftment of lives. It is there for power and wealth amassing for the leaders and friends (businessmen). In doing so, the voter's taxes are misused. BUSINESSES HAVE CASH COWS & ANC HAVE VOTE COWS. The masses are used for votes only. How they live after voting is not the ANC's problem. As long as they are in power. As these are glorified vote cows, capacity to influence change is lacking coz their minds have been washed.

annemarie 4/21/2009 1:31:10 PM
Even if the ANC do to SA what Mugabe did to Zimboonia, then we'll still not get any Hollywood star to call protest like they did during Apartheid. Why? Black is good, white is EVIL!

SIHLE-PY 4/21/2009 1:31:29 PM
Hi Thobile, goodbye Thobile. To late for that rather keep quite or risk swaying even more people to vote for the real congress of the people ie. ANC incase you are too slow to catch on. and by the way you and the rest of SA have observed what???? lets just say majority of SA voting population will prove you are a liar cause ANC will have majority win

Tass 4/21/2009 1:32:01 PM
I must say your article is very interesting taking into account your school of thought.It was high time TM and lekota realize they are not the only once who were involved in the struggle they had to leave at some point and give other comrades a chance they were 'Cowards and backstabbers' trying to retain power in the anc no matter what.I will say we have different school of thought in the anc and all must be given a chance to make contribution in SA.

atlanticblizzard 4/21/2009 1:32:03 PM
Thobile I only wish that so many other people in South Africa would see your viewpoint and think long and hard about who they vote for. It is heartbreaking to see what is happeneing in SA. I live in London and voted last week, my only regret was that there were not many more South Africans voting. We need change to a government that wants to develop South Africa and make it a world leader instead of lining there own pockets and looking after their own careers.

OB1 4/21/2009 1:33:57 PM
To the question "what did we as ordinary South Africans do to deserve this kind of leadership?" You voted for them even when they failed simply cos they were black and because of an irrational fear of whites.

fed up 4/21/2009 1:34:28 PM
last night on TV when Zuma said the Taxi/government bus thing will be put on hold until the new government is in power. What new government? we all know the ANc is gonna win, just like we all know things will continue for the 5 years exatly as they have in the past 15 years. This election is just a president change. And we had one a few months back. So who really cares?

Rob Kempen 4/21/2009 1:34:42 PM
Thobile You & the others voted for the ANC, therefore you deserve them as your government. Do not make the same mistake twice

Sinudeity@Gmail.com 4/21/2009 1:34:56 PM
Who was the IDIOT that cheered the zulu reign in the previous post? Tribalism man, same as Xenophobia. The ANC doesn't like criticism, look at Hogan.

Allan Boesak 4/21/2009 1:35:07 PM
Let's get real for a second. There is no makeover that would ever change a leopard's spots. A predominantly white party with NNP baggage will never gain the trust of the majority of South Africans. It takes a party that provides a true alternative, a party like Cope, to stand up to the ANC and excel in opposition, and be ready to govern." SO TRUE!!

T 4/21/2009 1:35:36 PM
Climb out from under the rock you've been living under.

fuzzy 4/21/2009 1:35:45 PM
It is not as if the ethnic tribes of yesteryear were not filled with backstabbing and intrigues. Having read extensively on the subject and these shenanagins were extemely common. Wtiness the killings of various Zulu chiefs and the breakaway by Xhosa clans. Are our current crop to be trusted - No way, look at how JZ is telling the press that he has no cloud hanging over his head. Is he stoned or what?

flip 4/21/2009 1:35:48 PM
hit the nail on the head there!!when it comes to election time isnt it always funny how they(all of the parties)suddenly visits all the poor areas and makes all these big promises, but at the end of the long run, all these promises are swept under the floor!!! really sad!!

hc 4/21/2009 1:36:49 PM
Absolutely Brilliant!!! These are issues facing us on a daily basis even on the daily SA(ANC)BC News. Why do the so-called ANC supporters keep on ignoring this. I am absolutely dumbstruck by all the promises that never turn into reality unless you offer a bribe (or sex) to get an RDP house. Please think before you vote it is not an emotional decision!!!!

Christopher 4/21/2009 1:38:03 PM
All use your vote wisely tomorrow!!!!!!!!!

Andre 4/21/2009 1:38:34 PM
No one feels for normal South Africans, especially the poor. Tomorrow will pass but the beggars and homeless will remain at the intersections. People who have lost hope a long time ago. South Africa does not have a social conscience anymore

Who are you to judge Current ANC leadership?Let me Ask you who said ANC was not going to be ruled by Communists and cosatu?Your holy lekota Who wanted to end the tripartite alliance,were was he when this started UDF.This is like holy trinity.You cannot supparate the three.No matter what.Anc member need to give each other a chance to rule.not just ANC.I am still waiting to see a SACP leader leading ANC AND also COSATU.Let love and support each other we have a common goal

Azonic 4/21/2009 1:39:32 PM
Its just sad that you will either be told that you are a coconut, or that you should leave SA. That's what a black person gets for bad mouthing the ANC. If I said what you just said, I would naturally be a racist. Oh well, another day in our "Rainbow Nation". Sad.

Whatever! 4/21/2009 1:39:40 PM
Well done to a very good letter. For once somebody ignored the race issue and focused on the real issue, our leaders(whether they are black, coloured or white). We need leaders that are honest and can lead this country out of the mess that we have become. Viva Change Viva!

Mzi 4/21/2009 1:39:44 PM
Enough about the ANC, what do you and your party have to offer as an alternative. You sound very angry and suicidal just a day before election.... will you accept the results after tomorrow. You need political education, politics are dirty, that's why mbeki managed to influence NPA decision. too little too late for low unconstructive critism.you are the middle class that turned their backs against ANC, now that you are free from the worst. You forgot your identity. You smoked the wrong pipe in CT

Sad but true. The SA of today is not what the rainbow nation hoped for (crime, corruption, in fighting, lack of service delivery, we want attitudes etc.), and who knows what the future may hold.

Leanne 4/21/2009 1:41:31 PM
Great read Thobile. I have no idea what we did to deserve this but it is time that we let the leaders of this country know we are not the sheep they believe us to be. The one great problem that some south africans have is that it is time for Stong Leaders not freedom fighters.The only war there is left to fight in SA is the war on crime, corruption and poverty. We need to change our mindsets.

chopstick 4/21/2009 1:41:50 PM
I hope you don't make the same mistake again... it's time for change !

Tass 4/21/2009 1:41:56 PM
You are a 'Coward and backstabber' yourself if you are an ANC member you will adddress those issues in the ANC and fight within as the current ANC leadership did.Those who came to the ANC for career move have to the other side for how long we will see.I can feel you also moved to the otherside and its realy cold outside.

TJ 4/21/2009 1:42:10 PM
Good point totally agree ....The time is now VOTE FOR CHANGE !!!!!!!

Angie 4/21/2009 1:42:21 PM
I want to see what the likes of Calvin, CTK and all the other ignorants have to say about this article. It was written by a black person and not a white person. Are they going to cry racism again? Anyway, glad to see that you at least can see right through the ANC.

Michael 4/21/2009 1:42:41 PM
How can you badmouth the ANC like that? Don't you know they are solely responsible for the freedoms you enjoy? Without the ANC you would still be oppressed by the white devils. (Just kidding, nice article)

Attorney 4/21/2009 1:43:19 PM
No longer do SA politicians work for the common good, or any good whatsoever. So much for all their talk of socialism and comrades - the ANC is full of capitalists who work for themselves and themselves only. The ANC should have taken the high road and put forward a candidate worthy to lead, not just the next in line.

Mark V 4/21/2009 1:43:21 PM
Had this article been written by "my kind" we would have been called racist. You, my informed friend will be called a coconut I am afraid. In the land of sun and light we have the most blind unfortunately.

jhon 4/21/2009 1:43:26 PM
Our brave leaders lead us from being oppressed to enjoying true freedom. How dare you crisise them for anything? Keep your mouth and just vote ANC or if you don't you will not get any of the benifits. We know hhow you vote.

Justin 4/21/2009 1:44:00 PM
Well unfortunately; many (a 2/3 majority) ordinary South Africans have voted and supported this type of behaviour. This it seems is set to continue in the next 5 years as well if the ANC is again voted in to power.

Observer 4/21/2009 1:44:12 PM
As a black person who suffered dearly because of apartheid I have decided to protect the democarcy of this country by publicy declaring my support for COPE. They(ANC supporter) called me dog, sellout and all sorts of names, but I'm doing this to strengthen our hard earned democracy. Tomorrow I'm voting COPE, it's no secret anymore.

Tsotsi 4/21/2009 1:44:41 PM
Do not have leaders! They just force their will onto others.

Nick 4/21/2009 1:44:53 PM
Kgalema Motlanthe is a laughing stock of the world. Here he is President of SA and his own Party wont even recognise him, has he got leprocy. JZ is a TOI TOIing Idiot, and Julius the Pensioner in charge of a youth league? I bet they love Uncle Bob. God help SA!!!!

Fundi 4/21/2009 1:46:02 PM
That's why you are allowed to vote, so you can choose a party of you choice

Black/White 4/21/2009 1:47:22 PM
I dont care if the ANC wins. All I know is that all the people in the shacks will no longer get any handouts from me. Its the governments responsibility. If a shack dweller wants something from you, tell him to ask his government. No more freebies for anyone. THEY ARE NOT MY PROBLEM AND DESERVE WHAT THEY VOTE FOR!!!This is more a relief than anything else as I dont have any responsibility towards them anymore.

pb 4/21/2009 1:48:11 PM
You ask all valid questions. The only problem is that ANC supporters will vote for them and the rest of us must just accept that. They don't realise that the whole country will go down the toilet. With the downturn in the international economy, there are going to be job losses and businesses are going to loose money. This in turn will mean less tax for government, which means less money available to pay for housing and government grants. And the health system and infrastructure of the country. So all the promises they make now are going to end up not being kept up. But, hey. The leaders will still have their fancy houses and cars and the poor. They will stay poor and keep shouting VIVA VIVA. And in 5 years time, the same will happen. No accountability in government.

pb 4/21/2009 1:49:21 PM
Vote DA and see how things in Khayelitsha improve in the coming years.

george 4/21/2009 1:49:28 PM
not because of democracy or the winning party deserves it ,but just because it will be over and we can all get on with our lives and hopefully there will be something more interesting to post a comment about.

fed up 4/21/2009 1:49:30 PM
just a few months ago, we got a new president in SA. Now that I'm finally learning to pronounce his name, we gonna get another one? Why did we have this other guy for only a few months? If JZ wasn't fit to be the leader a few months ago, then is he now? The only good thing is that it's easier for us whities to pronounce Zuma than the current guy. ha ha ha ha ha

If we lose our true drive,we will loose not to hrselves but to our real enemies,and we inviting it. How until now I haven't seen Mbeki and Zuma in the same debate roon answering to the people,flabbergasts me.How assuring is it dat the right course is followed,wether we put FF OR COPE 2gv

Duane 4/21/2009 1:52:55 PM
A brave submission, I can sense the frustration in your words, you have the courage to say what many a to afraid to say. I hope that all South Africans read your words and dont respond with hate. Which I fear they will, but vote with a love for this country and show the ANC they may of spilt blood for freedom but it does not give them the write to abuse the people. This country is owned by the people who live in it and fight every day for it. God protect S.A from Zuma tomorrow.

The Elusive Leprechauns 4/21/2009 1:52:55 PM
Can one of you ANC clowns kindly explain this to me? Do you know what it is? Do you know which political ideology it is associated with? Do you know that using the term casts doubt on your beliefin democracy? Please answer us? Even an invalid like CTK or Mlungisi can try to answer.

SA is becomming a laughing stock of nations who once admired our Liberation and Democrasy, we are seeing it going down the dram .driven by greed,corruption, immorality. ANC is accountable for the moral decay in this country.Like one once said"it too the ANC over 90yrs to fight for freedom,and took only 15 yrs to destroy it. Well done ANC.

Hi Thombile I have a confession to make and a HUGE appology. We were robbed a while back, and I nearly got raped. Since then, I am embarrased to say, have been petrified of all black people and was heading towards becoming racist - I just read your article and feel ashamed that I can box people. I now understand it is not black people that rape and kill, it is people. All colors of the rainbow. Thank you for showing me that there is hope for SA and that people do get it! I pray God saves us!

Vote for COPE my brother! we need to ensure that these corrupt and untrustworthy leaders do not have too much power over this country

Mafisto 4/21/2009 1:57:26 PM
I don't get your point ? oh is it against the ANC again ?

Jakes 4/21/2009 1:57:50 PM
Finally a lonely voice in an otherwise chaotic day of "Dear Editor" letters. Your frank and open criticism is the truth, without advocating another party's cause. We as citizens should not allow the weak, corrupt and stupid to lead us.

Emmanuel 4/21/2009 1:58:22 PM
Listen, my dear friend supporting COPE. Instead of you lambasting the oldest political movement in Africa, why don't you tell South Africa what your Teething COPE party will do for this country. The ANC does not compete with small fish my friend, we compete with sharks and unfortunately there is only one shark in this ocean and it will swallow all the small fish of the ocean. That Shark is called the African National Congress. Viva ANC Viva!!!!!!!

Glock 22 c 4/21/2009 1:58:25 PM
Today these leaders all want power and money. They dont give a rats ass about anyone ells. But before you lable me a racist go vote anc and see for yourself.

Hi Thobile pls let the new government take over then you will see a chaange.vote for ANC ausie

Hopeful 4/21/2009 2:01:12 PM
MY only hope is that the ANC does not get their 2/3'rds, coz then we'll have morons in power and we'll be powerless to stop them from doing whatever they want. PLEASE PEOPLE VOTE FOR THE OPPOSITION TOMORROW....

It's good to see this coming out. Hopefully you are campaing in Khayelitsha against the ANC. We need more "mayor of the year" type of candidates in government and less "VIVA ANC until we all starve like Zimbabwe" candidates. Preach your truths in the townships because the township dwellers are worst effected by this corruption of the ANC, the rest of us will survive, but the true sufferers will be those who follow blindly.

Do a stupid little dance... open your eyes, if the pothole is still there, vote for someone else. If the pothole is gone, vote anc.

Mikosi 4/21/2009 2:09:26 PM
The answer is, if you treat others as badly as Mbeki did to his own cde, then others will keep quiet when treated the same. That is why they say ' what goes up, comes down' he is flattened. He does not listen. How did he come to the decision to replace JZ with Phumzile, of all the people. Was there no better Motswana, Venda, Tsonga, or Ndebele woman he could have appointed?

nigel 4/21/2009 2:10:58 PM
I AGREE, tomorrow will be a sad day when millions of people give the ANC yet another chance to govern. It will be an even sadder day if we, the people of SA, give them 2/3rds majority. The ANC government is filled with incompetant, corrupt, & selfserving politicians that are more concerned about driving a big fat german car & self importance. Their dirty, sly political campaing is candy coated in empty promises & misinformation to win votes at any cost. Beware of the wolf in sheeps clothing!!!

Mecenary 4/21/2009 2:12:00 PM
It's not just the current ANC. It was no different under Mbeki. Anyone voting ANC is going to get what they got for the last 15years. A leopard does not change it's spots, not matter how much the Zuma cult would like you to believe.

I would recommend that next available bed at your nearest mental hospital be reserved for you. You don't only sound bitter but also ill-informed, depressed, frustrated and affected by a cope syndrome. Do you think you are cleverer than millions of ANC supportes accross the country to come with this stupid judgement? Your prediction that the counrty is facing massive down turn is absolute crap. You are very sick and needs mental observation asap. For record, Mbeki is history now!

Thobile save us some time and energy here, did your parents not teach you to call things by their rightful names,i mean what do you expect Mbalula to do? call an apple a banana, if Mbeki is a conniver so be it, why must he twist it to please blind loyalists like yourself.

AH 4/21/2009 2:17:07 PM

Ruba 4/21/2009 2:19:08 PM
I did not see you stand against Mbeki when he slapped Winnie Madikizela-Mandela on the face in front of cameras, I think you have a very selective way of complaining, could you please be fair and stop this hate speech, this articles are so tired anyway.

T-man 4/21/2009 2:19:28 PM
It is sad that a great organisation such as the ANC is now being hijacked by people who are there to persue their on interest. I will vote for Cope tomorrow and I hope they become a very strong opposition party.

nyiks 4/21/2009 2:20:01 PM
Bro you have been brianwashed. it's Thabo Mbeki who is at the crux of this matter not the current ANC, why didn't mbeki, after serving two terms as both the ANC and the country's president, step down? you know like mandela did. instead he goes around creating conspiracies for Zuma, Phosa, Sexwale & Ramaphosa. I think he thought that he will get away with it. unfortunately not in this world my friend, on earth you reap what you sow!

At least when Zuma is president we will have a lot of laughs.

They fact a president knocks on your door means something. I suppose because they visit hospitals they also run a great health service. Your are confusing patronising hype with solid policy and management skills.

Im having a great time reading DA supporters' (whites) responses, keep them coming. You people are too arogant to admit that your party messed up its campaign and handed victory to the ANC, so now you are doing what your leader has been doing, attacking the leadership of the ANC and Zuma personally...pathetic.

Sipho 4/21/2009 2:22:25 PM
Thobile Ndungane, any relations! Your disappointment is understandable. The new ANC leadership put paid to the Eastern Cape dynasty. Hard working individuals never need tribal connections to advance in life, I think the new leadership saved us from ethnic democracy couched as an African democracy.

Hehehe, watching the ANC fanboys go on about how Mbeki was the devil. Yet, you still voted him in, for 8 YEARS. I ALSO remember, how many of you cheered with Mbeki's FAILED 8 years of quiet diplomacy. Remember that? What would have been awesome, is if the ANC split, but JZ was the one forming a new party.

nigel 4/21/2009 2:25:12 PM
I came accross quite a few people that think they can't vote tomorrow because they think they are not registered. If you have voted before, you will be registered. You didn't have to re-register. If you are not sure SMS your ID number to 32810 & you will be notified within a few minutes if you are registered and where. The people that I came accross that thought they were not regisered, are in fact registered & will be voting for change tomorrow. Inform everyone you know..today!!

You want the SACP to lead? Is that what you said? Tass, are you a communist? The problem is, JZ owes the Scumbag from COSATU and from SACP huge favours. Secretly, our country will have to bow to SACP wishes. As for COSATU, they are causing more damage than what they are fixing.

todiefor 4/21/2009 2:42:37 PM
definition of above - A counter-revolutionary is anyone who opposes a revolution, particularly those who act after a revolution to try to overturn or reverse it, in full or in part. The adjective, "counterrevolutionary", pertains to movements that would restore the state of affairs, or the principles, that prevailed during a prerevolutionary era. That is a good thing for those ANC loyalists on here.. or are you not literate enought to realise this???!!!!

American History X 4/21/2009 2:42:38 PM

The masses want FREE this and FREE that but forget where the money is coming from. The working class / tax payers, which is less 10 % of the people

You talk about backstabbers,cowards,careerists in the ANC who would do anything to keep their jobs and privileges,but you forget to say that it was the very same reason COPE came to being.Lekota and company got together to form Cope because they couldn't imagine themselves without those privileges.Why did Thabo Mbeki run for the third term? is it not because of the privileges?

Alicia 4/21/2009 3:08:03 PM
Sinudeity you are so right.... I was of course referring to the oblivious Kolobe and all his pals. Please forgive me. I could not have stated it any better.

fullmoon 4/21/2009 3:09:04 PM
offer threats, typical black party mentality, militant action against Nando's b'cos of an advert, how childish but not surprising. I for one hope they do mobilise the masses as I know where I'll be loaded and waiting. Bring it on Julius, you twot.

My wife and I wil be emmigrating to the Eastern Cape after the elctions.

samsam 4/21/2009 3:11:43 PM
JZ owes the Scumbag from COSATU and from SACP huge favours"let me correct you,this coalition was like this before,it was not a madness to form it,only TM didnt like it,struggle for ANC is not over,while we have 75% of people living under poverty,the war is not over,war of poverty,houses,transformation etc.

Nozi 4/21/2009 3:15:09 PM
will I vote for the ANC. I'm glad I finally came to see the light. That Zuma guy will never be my president. I dont want to be associated with him not for a second. Vote wisely 2moro, Vote for Change!

Kitty 4/21/2009 3:15:21 PM
..........vote NOT the anc and you should be ok!

Sinudeity@Gmail.com 4/21/2009 3:17:43 PM
But you voted for him. "Mbeki is history or a dead snake" - You vote for a 'snake'. And you are voting for JZ. Dont you feel stupid now? You voted Mbeki in for TWO TERMS!

Glock 22 c 4/21/2009 3:18:33 PM
Dont waste your vote on anc Your vote will be going down the drain if you vote anc. There is still time to go back to DA. I will never in my life vote for ANC or COPE even my grand son's children will vote DA - HalfBrain

SimonP 4/21/2009 3:24:36 PM
"I will never in my life vote for COPE or DA" Typical ANC, you have been fully indoctrinated. If the ANC put you in prison for no reason and murdered your family would you still vote for them? Sadly the answer is probably yes.

concerned 4/21/2009 3:24:39 PM
what you say is correct ...i have always maintained that our beautiful country is abt to be "hijacked" by this as holomisa calls it "lynch mob".i now know what it feels like to see sumthing fall apart and be totally powerless to do anything abt it .

Karen 4/21/2009 3:25:19 PM
You complain that COPE has policies that are the same as ANC. Isn't that a good thing though? You believe in the ANC policies don't you (I assume you do know what they are, and no, they are not Viva and Amandla). Well COPE is promising to continue with these policies as they were originally drawn up and deliver on them. Wouldn't it be nice if your ANC did that? If you think it would, you have a choice - vote COPE and then you don't have to be stuck with Zuma and his criminal cronies.

RHUDI VAN STADEN 4/21/2009 3:27:52 PM
To previous writer the doom and gloom you are predicting is surely playing out in that nightmare you having at your house.There will be no fighting,killing,or for that matters fallling down.The amnesia that main writer suffers from cant be blame on current vibrant,exiting times thats the rest of country are experincing to cast their vote tomorow.You are the delusional one for blaming global financial turmoil on inbecoming people orientated goverment that we as ANC will be voting for.Amandla ANC.

SimonP 4/21/2009 3:29:29 PM
"we have 75% of people living under poverty" yes we do. Who has been in power for 15 years and done zero to alleviate this problem? And you are going to vote for them again. You must want SA to remain in a state. The question is why.

Sinudeity@Gmail.com 4/21/2009 3:34:36 PM
Hehe, you called the leaders of SACP and COSATU scumbags. Aint that the truth. Come on samsam, you have proven, by voting for Mbeki, TWO TERMS IN A ROW, that you are an idiot. Plus, you NEVER supply me with facts, only lies. Anyways, you are wrong again, at some stage, SACP was actually its own party, you could actually vote for them at some stage. What now? COSATU anyways, they misuse their members salaries to hold ANC rallies. They are as useless as street renaming, in catering for the poor.

Sinudeity@Gmail.com 4/21/2009 3:36:15 PM
No sweat ma'am. I knew it was a typo. Were cool :)

Eles 4/21/2009 3:37:50 PM
Sure you will "win" tomorrow hopefully not with a 2/3 majority. Mass majority does not make you right eg Zim. You will all still eat your ridiculous words posted above. However you will have truly lost - the rest of us who demand better services and governance are the true winners by standing up for what is right. A vote for ANC is a vote for an abominable negligent, corrupt non service party.

Sinudeity - the liar 4/21/2009 3:37:55 PM
Sammie, like I have said. Just THINK what a R100 BILLION could have done for poverty in our country. The government needs HALF of that for its upliftment programs, which it doesn't have. The armsdeal made a few ANC elites STINKING rich, and ALOT OF PEOPLE, stinking poor.

samsam 4/21/2009 3:42:42 PM
the more people wount be paying taxes"No, TM in every budget reduces tax from salaries,increases tax on liquor,cig,dont forget more tax is made from purchases,in'94 Sinudeity SA population was 45m it increased by immigration to +-52m,that means the more the pop there more the govt collects tax, apart from industries that provide more tax,eg mines,fuel ind,import/exprt the list goes on,on

Sinudeity@Gmail.com 4/21/2009 3:54:28 PM
Sammie, in the one ear and out the other. Like Ive SAID, we have MASSIVE job losses on the cards. Global economic recession. Like at all the mines that are closing down, our motor industry. Like I said, less and less people will pay taxes, and more and more people will get paid 'unemployment grants'. Were fortunate that 2010 is still keeping us rolling, but after 2010, another story. "More tax from purchases", look at our consumer index sam, its been dropping for awhile now.

I love the ANC,but I hate the new leadership.JZ and his inner circle are all greedy and unwise.I do not trust JZ and buddies,they are accusing other people for power hungry,i think they are also power hungry.You can call me whatever you want I am not going to vote for ANC.

Thank Heavens....I have been feeling such a fool. Thank you and go well and enjoy tomorrow. Gosh, do I feel better.

samsam 4/21/2009 4:12:27 PM
Simon,your memory is very short hey,Im referring here to people carried over from apartheid regime,you passed the bug on ANC,check my notes above regarding Verwoed.Sinudeity I said Manuel raised R650b in 2008/09, what are u talking about may be Im lost

Kwanie 4/21/2009 4:19:57 PM
GUYS GO AND VOTE TOMORROW< NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE.

pb 4/21/2009 4:21:59 PM
samsam does not understand things like consumer index and gross domestic product. hahahahaha

neo 4/21/2009 4:31:59 PM
Thobile! Oh Thobile! What a keen observation. May I kindly deliver your letter to the corridors of the ANC? Perhaps then will we see a change in attitude. Please keep on writing!

samsam 4/21/2009 4:33:45 PM
Sinudeity, Mbeki was punished enough,for his deeds,what is the unemployment rate released by Stats SA on Frid,what was the unemployment rate in 2000,wasnt 45%, CPIX hoho, or ya Sinudeity disapointed with you,

Izwi 4/21/2009 4:43:57 PM
Comrade in simple lingo means companion, friend, ally...was made popular during cde Mao's time,widely adopted by liberation movements in Africa which fought repressive systems (including your very own apartheid), and won. Its associated with communist/socialist leanings...so what??? Are you educated idiot!!!

Yogan 4/21/2009 4:44:59 PM
Did ANC create Cope so that they can still have 3 thirds majority (oops 3 thirds - sound like Juluis)
