ANC, WHAT A HEARTLESS SOUL.



(www.sfbayview.com )

 It was not an accident that thousands of police loaded their guns with live ammunition, shot dead more than 35 workers and wounded 78. The police officers who shot to kill  and those who gave them their orders are free but 259 striking workers were arrested, what crime have these workers committed. What happened to freedom of rights in South Africa, a right to life and fair labour. Where has our democracy gone to?. On the 15th of August the ANC issued a statement commending the SAPS for deploying 3000 heavily armed police in Marikan North West. Has the Government forgotten why we have a police force?. Somebody should remind them that it was not for them to used as a method of violence to organise the working class.

WHY IS NUM BETRAYING WORKERS...

Workers in South Africa can not even depend and trust their unions anymore after bieng betrayed by the NUM and the COSATU, how could they. Arnt unions formed to protect workers rights and speak on their behalf?. Why would NUM yell for Lonmin bosses, the police, and the army to put an end to the workers striking for R12.500 per month while the NUM General Secretary now earns R105 000 per month, what kind of a man expects another man to feed his family with a wage of R4000, knowing very well the conditions that this man works under on a daily bases.

THE ANC TAKES THE ROAD OF VIOLENCE TO THE NEXT LEVEL.

The road from Ficksburg to Marikana is littered with bullets and armoured cras that have been used to suppress struggles of communities and workers for social justice and a decent life. With the massacre at Marikana the ANC government has embraced the philosophy of the old apartheid state of "shoot first and set up a commission later"...The long line of massacres the the ANC government has placed itself in is longer than both my arms...

• Massacres of the working class from Bulhoek in 1921.
• The massacres of miners in 1946.
• Sharpville in 1960.
• Soweto in 1976.
• Langa in 1985.
• Boipatong  in 1992. 

The workers refusal to end the strike  and their preparedness to face state machines guns speaks to deep preparedness to struggle. A major challenge facing a new cadre of struggle is to overcome the culture of political violence that has been inherited from the previous cycle of of straggle. The spirit of the Marikana workers can only can only be honoured by an intensification of the struggle to build and strengthen a new, organised  and militant anti-capitalist working class movement, said Khanya during a press conference held at the University of Johannesburg Bunting Roads on the 22nd of August.

PUT A SOCK IN IT ALREADY...

 Julius Malema has once had a taste of what it is like to be a leader for a few months when he served as a provincial executive committee member in Limpopo and is not about to let his taste buds dry form the appetising position as he swears that is will one day rule the leading party, and that is will not give up without a fight, he will ultimately win the political battle.

MALEMA WAS SANCATIONED DUE TO THE FOLLOWING:

• Violating the ANC's constitution.
• His comments about overthrowing the government of Botswana.
• Comparing Jacob Zuma to the former president Thabo Mbek.

However Julius has a feeling that what ever that is happening to him is a test, one that is preparing him to become a better leader. He claims that when he takes over the party, he will run with the speed of 200km per hour, he also said that it does not matter how long it takes till he runs the ruling party, he also claims that there are hard feelings between him and Jacob Zuma, as they hug, greet each other and laugh when they see each other...Not convincing though, there is definitely bad blood between these two.

 Juju is really so fired up and determined to run the ruling party. Is it because he is trying to prove a point to the ANC because they let him go?, or is it because he is really thinking about the needs of the people of South Africa, if so what plans does he have for this country, what will he change , what will he do for the country in the benefit of all the citizens. My question really, why does Malema want to rule the ANC?.

Text book fiasco

(city press.co.za)

So, the text book fiasco continues with no concrete conclusion to it.
Even though most of the country's population wants the minister of basic education removed from her position, fact of the matter is that, its likely not to happen. Its best that we put our weapons down and rest our opinions on the issue.
Jacob Zuma has made it clear to the nation that he will not make that call till further "investigations", Lord knows when that will be...

(mg.co.za.text books left unutended at Limpopo)

Speaking to YFM news reporter about the issue, the minister mentioned that "peoeple expact her to be on her knees forever, i have apologised and i will not do that".
Yes we acknowledge her apology, but for her to actually come out and say that, its very low and shows no sign of remorse. Angie should learn to take responsibility for her actions, she had a duty to perform and so she failed at it, and so she needs to do an hounrnarable thing and resign before the people start forcing her to do so.
Today's youth is fighting for economic freedom, and this can only be done when they are educated, so students need those text books, least she could have done is do a follow up, to check if the job has been done. The rainbow nation cannot be reflected in sports like soccer or rugby, the only time we can have a united and equal South Africa is if resources of the country are shared equally.
for this to happen we need a group of educated public administrators who are able to interpret the legislation and policies of government.

A CONGRESS...

Whoever that wants to be great before your eyes should be willing to serve you, they must be willing lie down their lives for you, put your needs and feelings before theirs and also go an extra mlie to remove your pain most importantly they should be a person of integrity, they should love and care for the environment which they serve. Looking at our Gorvenment i strongly question their love for this country, these people need to be reminded that they have a calling to which they must receive and be submissive to, but then again are they worthy of this calling?, i doubt that, seeing that half of the panel has got no leadership skills, they do not deserve to serve our country... How many can really stand out and say that "i am king", im sure we can all count with just one of our hand each.... So disappointing though...
