Dear Editor,
I would like to express my greatest concern about the editor(s) of MyNews24, as it seems as if this column is used to vent out political intolerance without any control. And worse is the silence that goes with it.
This brings me to the point that he/she seems also to be bias towards certain view points as only such view points seem to be published and I say this after numerous observations of complaints by other users who have had their stories or comments not published because of their view point.
We need to go another decade or more before we can see changes in how our media is run in this country, and I say this because it is not only on this site where I have picked up the abuse of media for political gains, but throughout.
It is of great concern that the publisher still publishes view points laden with hate speech, intolerance just months before the general election. My only question is what does he or she hope to achieve?
Cope has every right as a political party to campaign, so does the DA, IFP and so forth however when that right is at the ANC expense, then that says a lot about our political culture and our opposition in this country. Calling people idiots, rapists and criminals is uncalled for and if that is what this column serves to perpetuate then we have a lot to worry about in this country before the general elections.
I am writing under my personal capacity and not as an ANC member or because of my blind love for the party, I am concerned that before the formation of the "Cope" we had a very politically tolerant culture in SA, but since then things have changed and it makes me wonder.
The UDM is a break away from the ANC however SA still managed to keep its culture of tolerance because they broke away completely and did not want to hold on to the history of the ANC and abuse it to their political gain, however now that the recent cadres broke away from the ANC things have changed and even a baby can read between the lines.
Cadre Terror as I would still prefer to call him openly and publicly stated that they still have some of their Cope members operating within the ANC and I believe Cope is the main reason why this country is in such turmoil. The very same leaders in Cope have governed the country for ten years and now all of the sudden because the masses have had it with their incompetence the ANC has become undemocratic - I just wonder what the real agenda is that cdr Terror and the gang want to achieve.
The ANC is the party to govern after the elections, Zuma will be President and if people could only deal with that and not criticise a man before he has taken office, then the country could move forward.
The struggle continues, viva economic freedom, education, safety and health care.
