Limpopo 2007

Written by Mathaz from the blog Presidential race on 28 Nov 2007
Favourite this post

Recent developments of the presidential race indicates that the Deputy President of the ANC, Mr Jacob Zuma is a firm favourite to take over the leadership of the party.  I think there is something wrong with this race as almost eveyone who is interested in the top position does not want to decline nor confirm because they have this thing that the ANC should nominate you first then you must indicate if you are interested or not.

It's also a pity that we are not even afforded the opportunity to ask the "candidates" what they believe in, what issues are close to their hearts and what they would do differently.

President Mbeki has indicated that he is interested if he gets nominated.  If he gets his way, two centres of power will be in effect.  He will be the president of the party and another  person will be appointed as the President of the country.  Media reports (if they are to be belived) apparently say that he wants to step down but not leave the organisation to the hands of Zuma.  Apparently he says that Zuma's presidency will just be a mockery and in contrast to what they fought for.  

Jacob Zuma has a reputation, a bad one that is.  His rape trial did not do justice to his aspirancy and the cloud of his corruption trial still hangs.  He is a charismatic leader but most believe that if he wins he will spend too much time going through his "pay back" list. The SACP and COSATU do not like Mbeki's economic policies and they see Zuma as someone who will push their socialist agenda to the fore.

Tokyo Sexwale is interested but he does not have enoough support on the grass roots level.

Cyril Ramaphosa says he will not run if Mbeki runs but i think he wants, he is just keeping a low profile.

Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma indicated to political writer of the City Press that she would not mind.  She is my personal favourite.

My take is that Mbeki and Zuma should both not be voted for the unification and harmony of the party.  The party is hugely divided because of them and if people really care about the soul of the ANC neither should win.

If you had a choice, who would you vote for?

i find the thought that JZ could become the next president utterly depressing!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately, I can't think of anyone to succeed Mbeki other than Mbeki himself *sigh*

I caught Tokyo on 3rd degree about two weeks ago, being grilled by Ms Patta with Justice Malala, Xolela Mangcu and the iron lady from the M&G Haffajee rating his performance... the ff wk they were to have Mbeki and lastly JZ... these candidates were to share their "campaigns" and debra would ask what the public wanted to know... must say forgot to check the other candidates after Tokyo.... I was very interested to hear what uMsholozi has to say..... uTokyo did okay, the panel yabo Mangcu gave him a rating of 7.3 out of ten....u know with the politicians when they are campaigning they tell you all the stuff you wanna hear.......maybe some1 who perhaps saw the candidates on 3rd degree can share.......

Okay guys, please excuse my ignorance, I still don't understand the Mbeki thing....the "no 3rd term policy" is that a SA President thing that doesn't apply to ANC president thing? Bra Bizza and Sdakwa, help a sister out!!! 

The thing is I'm trying to understand whether Mbeki wants to be elected in Limpopo so that he can be the SA president again....(is that allowed) or does he just want to be president of ANC?

Mina I just don't want Ntate Mshini for mo pres plz!

Sdakamiswa
28 Nov 2007 11:13

no 3rd term applies to SA president and it does not apply to ANC president .... nothing stops Mbeki to be ANC president then he can annoint his choice to be president of the country.... and thats what many people are against having two cnetres of power....... if i recall correctly anc president automatically means president of the country..... bt with Tboz it would be different since he's served his 2 terms as pres

Who needs Generations when you have SA politics.

@Sda, my understanding is that with enough votes though the ruling party can amend the constitution. And if Thabo wins the ANC precidency and the ANC wins National elections with enough votes he can get a third term whether we like it or not.

Sdakamiswa
28 Nov 2007 11:39

boooiiii sup..... eish bra, i dont know sipe about what u just wtote, perhaps some1 who knows better can enlighten us...... ya if my memory serves me well i do recall that the constitution of the country can only be changed when the winning party at a GENERAL(2009) election gets 2/3 majority ... but not at a PARTY election like in LIMPOPO..... the constitution of the country will not be affected by what happens at limpompo

Brown Shuga
28 Nov 2007 11:57

Sdakwa you are right but I don't think Blaq meant the ANC would make the changes AT Limpopo. He said National elections and those aren't happening till 2009. I would also like to have more info so those in the know, please share. 

Personally, I would love for SA to have another president, I'm a Gemini and change is my thing....another president please SA.

Am excited about the 2009 elections, I didn't get to vote in the last elections coz my ID had a Surname from Pakistan and there was no way I was gonna use that thing for anything......

Bra Bizza
28 Nov 2007 12:18

@BS....LMAO...surname from pakistan.....the ANC can still amend the country's constitution before 2009 cause they have 2/3 majority at the moment,however Mbeki himself and the ANC at large dont want to amend it so as to give  another person a chance....

what's currently happening is that Mbeki would have loved to be President of the ANC then Nkosazana be the deputy so that when Mbeki steps down in 2009 Nkosazana be the first women President,however he's left with the egg in his face at the moment but one thing i can tell you is that be prepared for suprises in Limpopo

when he loses in limpopo he's got 12months as the President to make certain changes in the goverment which might not be to JZ's satisfaction.The irony is that these two kinda need each other at the moment cause the next 12months are going to be interesting after he has lost and might make JZ's job difficult for him to appoint people who will clean up the mess if Thabo dares to make any

i thought you're not into politics but dont worry who ever takes the leadership can't run this country like Bush....there's a lot to be considered and the fact that most of the economic policies are unlikely to change that signals that we will still continue to strive to achieve 6% growth if his friends(VAVI)don't strike every week and people just do their jobs...but read this

we still have a long way to go as a nation to start voting based on policies; for now majority of voters are still hung up on the 'emotional' vote. They dont care about the economic situation or the disarray in the our public service department; to many South Africans, esp blacks, it's still about not  wanting to have a white man/woman ruling this country. if you asked most people why they are supporting Zuma, you'd be shocked at how most of the answers do not serve to improve this country in anyway. It's all about we need a Zulu person to lead now. Wh o cares if Zuma is zulu, xhlosa or whtevr? Ya'll are starving and your children are trapped in the web of apartheid hung ups. Wake up Mzansi

I don't really think people are worried about a white man rulling this country, I mean, who could that be? Actually, I don't think there's any white man who has hopes of being a SA president come 2009, it's just one of those things.

Eish, I'm off topic. Actually I think we aren't allowed to discuss politics here...we all know how emotional people get.

I think the ANC is getting Zuma excited over nothing.  I do not see him winning, a compromise candidate will emerge.  The recent nominations are just an indication of who people like but the real wnner will still be voted for in December.  But what if Zuma wins, will that be a bad thing?

I agree with the author that neither JZ nor Mbeki should win the votes. who know they still got deep down secrets. I am definately sure Mbeki is as dirty as JZ and maybe more, is just they don't reveal his secrets.

lepogo
29 Nov 2007 00:27

My biggets gripe about this Zuma versus Mbeki issue is that it is more of a media creature than it is of ANC politics.Granted that the likes of that man-child called Vavi had helped to fuel it,it is more played out in newspapers and TV shows.

I dont hold Zuma in high regard,but it is very very important for us to encourage Mbeki to retire.Can you imagine what would happen if Zuma would want to remain the ANC president afterr his term?

And if he would surround himself with smart people-not Youth League menchildren,Vavis and the rest of dumbos who seem to be bloodthirsty in their quest to make JZ the next president.

In their own words'there will be blood on th floor if he does not become a President'....

Makes me think looong and hard about the future of my beloved country

Mathaz
29 Nov 2007 00:38

those words came from someone who wants to be president..?  Can you imagine??  If he did not have so many scandals maybe...but he ruined his chances.  If Zuma wins then Mbeki would still remain the country's president and  would have to take instructions from Zuma, that is like the worst case scenario.

Yesterday there were reports that Tokyo Sexwale is funding Zuma's campaign but he of course denied it but he said he endorses his presidency, I thought he (Tokyo) was running.  They are just taking us for a ride.

People who are voting for Zuma are doing it out of emotions as they feel alienated by Mbeki.

I agree with the author that said neither of them should be elected. Both the men have doen more harm than good for SA, (i dont need to elaborate),I think we need to vote for Tokyo Sexwale for the following reasons.
-The man is a billionaire, he wont need corruption to feed his family.
-He is intelligent and dedicated to the party and not obsessed over leadership, "i will happily take over any role that the ANC elects me for".
-He is a man of high integrity and straight forward "it is obvious to anyone that hiv causes aids".
-A few months ago his wife was hijacked, -he is not ignorantto the depth of crime in this country. (like our prsident who once said people are exaggerating about the depth of crime in SA, 2 weeks later he wanted a security wall, protecting his house, from what if crime is not as bad).
-And most importantly Sexwale has no grounds of discriminating against any colour in SA bcoz.
-He is a black man, has a white wife, coloured children and an Asian name, talking about rainbow nation.

infact i dint even want to vote for Thabo i actually wanted Ramaphosa..

but for the sake of fairness I think its high time we had a Zulu for president--(yeah pull out your claws and get nasty...fine by me LOL)
..if Nkosazane Zuma aint running for Pres..(she's smart hardworking, a woman, and ugly--no chances of sexual harrassment-or Billclinton-type of scandals_ )...than the next "best thing" would be Zuma unfortunaltely....ngoba no Sbu Ndebele-who's also very intelligent  is too much into KZN and he's not a popularist like Zuma.....

thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

29 Nov 2007 00:57

Guys all ur replies are interesting, but me i'm with the blogger that says neither of them should be voted for Presidency. Both these candidates have already killed the union in ANC by dividing the party into 2. 

Whoever wins now between the 2 would show all those who were against him who's the man, and we don't need that, we need a President who has already got new ideas on how to improve the country's economy, which i think neither JZ/T-Boz give a damn about. Both these guyz has lost their focus on their jobs, now it's about their egos.

Given a chance i would go for Nkosazana Dlamini and Naledi Pandor.

Its been a while since I heard anyone concerned about what are our thoughts on this.COSATU says workers want Zuma.I am a worker-did they ask me?*bleep!* no!TDC?I dont think so!!SACP says the same ish,sis they ask any of you?The Youth League says the same thing about the Youth wanting Zuma.The 40 year old bastard didnt ask me,nor anyone from their branches.So whose agenda are they pursuing?

Apparently JZ understands ppl better than Mbeki.Yeah right...Let him allow ppl bako NPA to retrieve info from Mauritius,and then I might change my mind.

Mbeki and Zuma MUST retire and give a chance to Cyril Ramaphosa,or anyone not tainted in their so-called battles.et both retire to their farms,Mbeki to smoke himself to death  and Zuma to apply baby oil and shower hisself to death too.

Mbeki reasons for another term as the ANC pres is that JZ is going to ruin all the work they have done up to this far.Good intentions wrong approach.He is playing America telling everyone what to do and what not.

They should let us do the talking.The other interesting point was raised by Blaque on emoyional voting.If the poor among keep on voting for the same colours,let them blame no one for their condition!!Cause nowadays all our ppl say all the time is that the government is not doing this and that and no one is prepared to do something for themselves!!!

MY OPINION:

ON ZUMA: I should first declare that I am Zulu but i am strongly against Zuma being president. This ZUMA and Mbeki thing roots from the fact that amaXhosa have been ruling since 1994. Many people now are voting "emotionally" because of what i have mentioned above. I do not think that Zuma can be a good president, setting aside that he has ZERO education, i just dont see him sitting down in a panel and discussing economical issues with other presidents. I know that he is likeable in a sense but the truth is ruling a country is more that singing "AWULETH' UMSHINI WAMI". Also Zuma's name was not only turnished here but overseas as well, his case was a worldwide event. Some countries/presidents would not want to hold meeting with a "rapist" due to their relegious. And just imagen if we desperately need oil from that country.Then what happens?

ON MBEKI: Our country needs someone else to rule, if he wins a 3rd term that means we have a Zimbabwean crisis on our hands. He'll take the 4th the 5th and before we know it we will be starved like our neigbours.

On Tokyo: He might be the best businessman we have but he can never be a good president. I also watched the 3RD DEGREE and i must say that i was very dissappointed by Debra's questions because she appeared to soften up on the man. But ke singabuye sithini ngoba kungenzeka ukuthi Debra has business interest naye uToyko.

Mbeki to smoke himself to death and Zuma to apply baby oil and shower hisself to death too-Hilarious!!!

But to be honest looking at the future of the country,I hope something happens in the next few weeks which will change the nomination of these guys.

I was thinking along the lines of the country getting a younger president but guys like Fikile " Why r u still YL President" Mbalula are pushing agendas that cannot be understood.

I thought the ANC was going to ask both of the guys not to contest for the top job long time ago because of obvious reasons,now its too late for them to do so...

I just hate what they are doing to my country

29 Nov 2007 02:11

One of the reason that i don't wan't JZ/T-boz  it's their ignorance concerning health issues in this country. Remember when T-Boz provoked many citizens by saying he doen't know anyone who's HIV positive, JZ did the samething with his showerstory. 

The Vavi's & Mbalula's knows that the only rule that applies in parliament is "Ukhotha emkhothayo, engamkhothiyo uyikhabela le" Look at how head of scorpions was suspendend for arresting Jackie Selebi, how deputy minister of health was fired for not adhering to T-Boz. They know to get sumwhere in that parliament is to oblige by what ever the topdogs are saying like Manto,as much as many SA citizen don't like her, T-Boz still feels her so she ain't going nowhere.

Jacob Zuma- You knowe, as black people, in my culture after you touch somethings you need to cleanse your hands with water, like when you finish peeling the onions, you need to wash your hands.

I personally don't want Mbeki to be a president because it will be like Apartheid. Xhosas had their chance and now must let other people rule like Venda and Zulus. 

As for Jacob Zuma, who are we to judge, he was found innocent on the Rape charge and we must also accept that even if he did use Umthini Wakhe on that woman. 

The bible says that only God can judge, So who are we to Judge. the only option we have is to vote. If Zuma wins and you don't want him to be a president, you can always vote for Patricia De lille or Tony Leon. You have plenty of choices.

As for U Thabo, being president for the 3rd time, he will never see that. We are not stupid, not all Black people are Xhosa speaking and we will make sure that the next president is not Xhosa.

Whats her name again, Mlambo something, she was talking about women standing up against Jacob and i was like. Jacob is not the issue, she nows that if he is President then Nkosazana will be the deputy.

Its only fair that we all get a chance to make this nation a family affair, religous affair or even an Ethnic affair. Afrikaaners had their chance, Xhosas has theirs and now lets give others their chance.

I honestly do not think the race is about ethnicity, it could be that as a leader you make a lot of decision which might affect other people negatively and are not popular with the masses.  Mbeki is a VERY good leader but i guess what he failed to do was to "train" his successor.  Guys Helen Zille is not bad at all, I just hate the fact that the ANC knows they do not have strong competition.  Do you vote for someone/party because they are the same race as you?

As for Jacob Zuma, who are we to judge, he was found innocent on the Rape charge and we must also accept that  -(its not about whether he was found guilty or innocent, but as a leading figure, he shouldnt have put himself in that position in the first place)

The bible says that only God can judge, So who are we to Judge. the only option we have is to vote. we aint judging just being honest 

If Zuma wins and you don't want him to be a president, you can always vote for Patricia De lille or Tony Leon. he retired,

@Quick- As a proud Xhosa i feel very insulted by some of your comments. I have figured out that you classify xhosa's as oppressors and greedy for leadership. I am also against Thabo Mbeki being president again, so I think it is unfair that you direct your insesitive attack at the Xhosa ethnic atlarge. This debate its about the character of Jacob Zuma against that of Thabo Mbeki and not their mother tounge. Remember this Thabo Mbeki doesnt manage the country, the goverment does, he simply leads, our goverment comprises of (whites, indians,coloureds, blacks) so its not fair to vote aginst Mbeki bcoz he is Xhosa, thats discrimination

She left the ANC for the same reason I have my bags packed and waiting for me at the door. She is firm, straightforward and honest, and she doesnt take s**t from no-one. Some people dont appreciate the truth thats why they dont like her. I think if we could brake the wall of seeing the DA as the "white party", then SA would be on the right track. Honestly speaking the ANC has failed us, we are stuck with it bcoz of loyalty, loyalty could be deadly, look at Zim, they are loyal to Mugabe even though he is killing them. I think for better South Africa we need to think more of what we want for our country than looking at who is Black and Zulu.

I will not try and justify the current matters to our country but I feel that by packing our bags and leave the ruling party and we go to the white party will not solve our problems,  we dont know  what they will do to us when they are given another chance.

I must say this, bona they are no willing to compromise as yet and they do not have our interest at heart. So little has change since the ANC took over kodwa it is ver important that sometimes we reflect back and acknowledge the little that has been done in the 13 years.

One thing that apartheid has managed to do is segregation ku maxhosa, zulu venda, tswana etc....Coz we are always trying to prove who is better than the other.

Secondly people need to differentiate between the NNP and the DA (formely known as the DP). The NNP beleived in black oppression thats why Marthinus van Schalkwyk killed it. But the DA, believes in making South Africa a better place for all, read their constitution.

We can never run away from the fact that "WHITES" as we all put them are good when it comes to the ECONOMY and stabalizing it.

Comparing to when whites ruled its worst, they tell us it will get better but mina the way i see it, into engangiyithenga ngo R5 last month isiwu R5,02 this month, next month it will be R5,30.

So why not put a white guys to be a deputy president or a Governer for that matter. White used us when they were in power so why not used them. They negotiate better than we can ever be because as much as it is not right, skin will always be an issue no matter where you are in the world China, Russia, USA or any other country.

WOW andile I didnt know that (zille )
But I agree with vhuthsila 100% couldnt have said it better myself but one thing for sure is that we all want someone who is going to do the country betta so the white party is definetly not a suitable candidates (given their history) ,
Mbeki is not either(we dont want another mugabe),
tokyo is also not (better business man than a country's president),
JAYZEE well we do I start ,
Hellen Zille( i kinda agre with zozoz's stetement),
Nkosazana (I still have beef with her for squandering millions like that ) 
so who are we left with 
Cyzo(cyril ) and who???????????

As much as i love uMvuyelwa i think he should just back down, but the thought of having uGedleyihlekisa as my President makes my life a misery. I think they should both withdraw from the race for the interest of the ANC and the country. The sad truth is ANC is divided, and to mend it we need uMbeki, there is no one else who will unify it. Zuma would never lead the country without him!!

Coming to Oomama be ANC, Im very dissappointed. In a normal world you would expect them to vote for Mbeki for his loyalty and support for gender equality in this country. He is one man who fought for women, who stood by them, who gave them a right to be everything they want to be. He took women under his wing, he gave them the most important ministries and positions in the cabinet, The Minister of Health, Minister of Education,Deputy President of the country, Public works, Housing Ministry, Foreign Affairs etc. HE made us proud to be SA women, the law in SA sides with women. All because he believes in the power and intergrity of a Woman. He repeatedly tells them that this country is nothing without Oomama. But I feel ANCWL have failed the president, they are practically firing him from the office and God knows who will ever fight for them again!! 

Msholozi is a traditional man who still think having 5 women is cool and cultural and sleeping are around is man's right. The next thing we know we'll be told that we all belong to the kitchen.

@Msoe, i hear you and believe you are right but then again, while having those images in ur head, also picture this.
finding ur 3 yr old sister lying in the veld, naked, covered with blood, some of her body parts missing, the killer is around, comes to ur house @ night, shoots ur father and kills ur father, paralyses ur mother and stole soem of ur belongings, all this bcoz our president refuses to aknowledge that crime is high in SA. and also the killer knows that even if he goes to jail he'll be out in no time, bcoz we no longer practice death penalty.
its the same thing over and over

@andi01,
This is the worst thing anyone has ever said since I joined this forum(hanging my head in shame). Didnt he admit in Parly and before he left for France,when he opened the comm center in Midrand?

Does his acknowledgement mean that the crime levels will go down?Does he have to have a gun a shoot all criminals dead?Must he institue death penalty and hope the crime levels will go down??Isnt the death penalty a constitutional issue??

Do you think jail is a fun place to be?I am sorry but this is the most moronic submission ever...

Independent reports show that close contanct crime(murder,rape,etc) is more prevalent between ppl who are known to each other,and I must raise my disappointment at your level of  engagement,that you had to resort to shock tactics to get your point across...

What I am saying is that  yes the old goverment was fucked up a lot, but it really would help if we could stop looking @ skin colour and focus more on making this country work for every one. But also I wonder why was crime not so high when the death penalty was on. i think we also need 2 look @ some of the approaches of the so called "white people", to get things right, bcoz after all they are south africans.
As for Jacob Zuma for president, HELLLLL NOOOO, OVER MY DEAD BODY.

Does his acknowledgement mean that the crime levels will go down?
once he aknowledges then he will act upon that, if he thinks its not there why would he do anything about that. I think he is a hypocrite bcos shortly after that he ordered a 1million security wall for himself, what for?, he wants to protect himself but doesnt care about other people that are affected by crime daily.

Does he have to have a gun a shoot all criminals dead?
I never insinuated this

Must he institue death penalty and hope the crime levels will go down??Isnt the death penalty a constitutional issue?? 
but then again who would think of committing crime if he knew it will cost him hislife, criminals are not stupid, they take other people's lifes with pleasure, knowing that nothing will happen to them.

Do you think jail is a fun place to be?
hell no i've been, but rape, murder isnt fun either, people should be punished for the wrongs they do.

I am sorry but this is the most moronic submission ever... 
i appreciate you stating your views, but i wish you couldnt do it in an insulting manner, you might not agree with me but calling my opinions moronic  its rather cruel, cold, insesitive, uncalled for, unnecessary, but mostly hurtful. I am just stating what I believe and I dont think its fair being called a moron.

I understand Lepogo's reaction to Andi01's pro-death penalty reply....-ITs a common reaction from those who Dont support death penaly

BUT using insults aint gonna get your point across...MINA I still yet have to get someone to convince me that the death penalty wont reduce the crime rate...( and I was hoping Lepogo is the one judging from his very logical and matured replies in other articles) serias  yes its a practice that is seen as babaric and has its faults, but the current justice systme hasnt been considerate to victimes...and Andi01 is right  what you think is a shock-tactic, is actually a reality that would hit you once you personally experience it..-so maybe Lepogo's response could have been a more constructive one where maybe some of us would be enlightned as to why the govermenet is not pulling all the stops in an attempt to reduce crime, including opening the debate on death penallty and actually accepeting the fact the a majority of south africans actually support it....

It has happened soo many times in the lives of those close to me.I have been hijacked twice,the second time around two days after receiving the new car from insurers,my wife was hijacked cos 'she was driving a mans car'.In all instances excessive force was used,we were threatened with death.

But do I entertain thoughts of revenge,of seeing them hang?No,because it merely means the punk is taken away,but the demand of stolen cars remain,the factors driving decent ppl to such levels remain.

Maybe we are looking at the wrong issue here,cos the presidency wont change any of that,them criminals are our friends,neighbours,boyfriends and stuff.So the issue of crime is irrelevant in our quest for a new president.
 
My sinere apology for calling your submission what I did.I was way outta line.I was meant your opinion,not your personality.That was chidish of me,cos it touches the raw nerve.

while I agree with evrithing else you've said...but dont you think  there are certain major issues that will influence our choice of who should lead the govnment....
I belive that even surveys show that Crime , housing and unemployement are three major issues that most of use feel the govt should deliver to its mandate  and that cannot be irrelevant to our quest for the new president..because I think the general consesus is that the govt has only made fat cats and not tackled these issues thoroughly  ....so  whoeva takes over will certainly sing these topics to death in order to get votes so we will listen and choose who sings betta and Zuma's tune sounds kinda nice when it comes to crime coz as you said its a thorny issue....espsh for those who've personaly experienced it.

The only way to do it is to prove that all methods of law enforcement have failed,that theeconomy is failing because of criminal activity,that the international community is no longer moving any form of capital in to the country.

Its an economic reason,coupled with ANCs record in terms of Huan Rights issues.And in this country the most powerful lobbying group is this one,which will never ever let the death penalty be brought back.

It is also about the death penaltys success rate.Of all countries which still use it,less than 3% gets it right,the justice system is not questionable,they are sure that they are hanging the 'right' person.In the US,where the UCLA is campaigning very hard to have it abolished,almost 86% of the current death row inmates are either black or first time offenders who were not found guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

@Spo,
I am hanging my head in shame here,sorry for my foolish attack earlier on.

It is a constitutional issue.Its been a while since the constitution has been amended,and evrytime it has been amended it has been for non Human rights issue.

The only way to do it is to prove that all methods of law enforcement have failed,that theeconomy is failing because of criminal activity,that the international community is no longer moving any form of capital in to the country.

Its an economic reason,coupled with ANCs record in terms of Huan Rights issues.And in this country the most powerful lobbying group is this one,which will never ever let the death penalty be brought back.

It is also about the death penaltys success rate.Of all countries which still use it,less than 3% gets it right,the justice system is not questionable,they are sure that they are hanging the 'right' person.In the US,where the UCLA is campaigning very hard to have it abolished,almost 86% of the current death row inmates are either black or first time offenders who were not found guilty beyond reasonable doubt.

I can go on and on about this issue,but ultimately,you still find the worst of killers in the US,China,even in Saudi Arabia.And if it fails where ppl are not as violent as our ppl,it makes you think long and hard about is merits.

And the other factor is foreigners.If anyone wants to win the next elections,let them concentrate on us,the emerging middle-class and the estableshed one,cos we are also worried about the country's immigration policy.

Most of the crime funds the opulent lifestyles of these faceless people,who are lucky not to be ko national database in Pretoria,thats why they never get caught.

If we regulate the exodus,it becomes easier for the enforcers to know their moves and proactively fight crime.And the biggest criminals are the ones in suites.

Think about it-who imports hard drugs in to the country?Is it a Sanza like penniless guy who lives in Troyeville?Who orders the Beemers?Who has connections le bo Selebi?Rich guys,who have stuurboys do do stuff for them.

Therefore,friends,the issue of crime is much more complex than we would like to think.And with so many foreigners in the country who can bribe the officials for them to move easily  between borders.

03 Dec 2007 05:58

damn this has made for some fascinating reading! i've been glued to this for almost an hour reading all your replies! and to think i stayed away from it for so long thinking this was too much of a debate!

what is this issue with Xhosa/zulu ish? i'm Tswana and i never had a problem with whoever's leading's mother tongue. really now people let's get real. this is not about race. it's about our country. i for one think the ANC and its people have done more than enough damage which they themselves cannot repair. i firmly believe it's time the official opposition took the lead.

taking a look at the last few yrs since democracy, there's been good and bad that the ANC has managed to birng about. but the bad has been too sensationalised (no 1) and too damaging to both us as a country and them as a ruling party. for me giving someone the power to lead has absolutely nothing to do with race. it's about what the person can do to better my life and the lives of the people of this coutry. honestly i think ANC has failed where it most needed to succeed - health and crime. yes we all know about apartheid and we've lived thru it etc etc but that is in the past! if you look at the good (minus apartheid) that came out of a white ruling party that for me would be more than enough reason to vote for the DA. the rand did better, people had access to a good health system, crime was nothing like it is now!

and for us to say never again! (to the white leader) could be the very thing that is holding us back. what white person in their right mind, if given the leadership, is going to try and do us like the apartheid government? pik botha maybe but who's gonna vote for him (and he's dead mos ne?). my point is, we know who the enemy (apartheid) is, and it's not white. the person has a name. we know their name and we won't make the mistake of giving them the power. however that does not mean we should turn our backs on what could possibly be the best thing for this country simply because the person/people is black!

The problem we faced with here in SA ( Corporate and Goverment) is " We do not do proper skills transfer, ppl lead as sole entities 
and now we don't know whom to choose as the future leader ( as we faced with two man we don't like), 
And we have the two businessman whom says they are lobbied in the race, and we also not sure if they are good leaders or they are only good in closing deals.

I don't think that is brilliant to try to lead the country by taking chances, 
Why did they leave politics in the first place?
Are they prepared to give up on the businesses and focus on the ppl of this country or they want to make themselves more wealthy?

And heard Parlor Jordan on 3rd degree talking about the strategy that they will use ( it was along 3rd ntonintoni) anyone who remember it , pls enlighten cause we getting many terms now ahead the Limpopo conference.

Zuma called Patta the day before he was to be there and personally apologised but he said that he will try to squeeze them in. probably after Limpopo.  They had Terror Lekota and Buti Manamela, president of Communist Youth League.  Lekota was just saying how Zuma is playing the victim card whilst it was he (Zuma) and Mbeki who reached an agreement that he should be dismissed.

Apparently there was a meeting, i dont know when exacly but there was a resolution that none of the Senior ANC members should be in relations  (business)with Shabir Shaick so Zuma defied that order.  Terror also mentioned that Zuma publicly critices ANC policies in relation to the criminal justice but fails to air his concerns with them.

Buti tried to defend Zuma but he was not good at it, they should have had Fikile Mbalula.  The judges gave Zuma 4/10 citing that he is surrounded by shady characters.

Mbeki on the other hand....his speech was way too Loooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg....is he trying to be the new Gatsha?

I think it's clear, that JZ is gonna come out tops, there's even talk of Mbeki's people asking him to bow out of the race????...shame...

Bra B, JZ ain't worried about whether or not they charge him...he said he won't step down if they charge him, he will only step down if found guilty in the court of law and we all know that he has a "great" track record when it comes to winning court cases so I'm not holding my breath!

I love South Africa after all, the people know what they want and Zuma is that thing. I feel sorry for Phumzile, Terror and the rest. 

Now i can't wait for Zuma to make us proud. show them what u r made of.

NB: those are my feelings, if u have a problem, just keep it to yourself cos i don't have time to argue.

Its a sad reality for all civilized and decent south africans, i almost cried when i saw my camp leaving the stage after the humilitiaon caused by the staggering votes that the shower guy received. Its clear that south africans prefer hooliganism; tribalism over intelligence. Mbeki supporters were so mature; calm and collected as always, i dont think it would have been the same should the results were the other way round. Just shows that the Mbeki camp is full of intellectuals and civilized people not to mention world class citizens.

Did you see Deborah Patta & Vuyo Mbuli's face at the announcement, they could not even hide their dissapointment. I dont have a problem with Tbose not being president for the 3rd term but my problem is that the masses think that the shower guy is a world class leader hayi khona bantu bakithi. I dont even think he's taken seriously globally and who in their right minds would sit down and listen to a guy who opens his mouth and utter absolute gibberish. Pls bloggers lets not turn this issue into a tribe war between Zulu & Xhosa, lets discuss it nje nagabantu abadala abanengqondo. I am not against the shower guy because he is Zulu but because of his ignorance and of being plain & simple. As Justice Malala mentioned last night they need to hold on to the Mbeki camp as it is has proved that it possesses people with ability to construct strategies & policies. On a lighter note (talking to the ladies) you know even with dating sometimes we'd rather go out with a ditzy for reason i cannot mention on this site and you dump your intelligent specs wearing nerdy guy remember in high school we always preferred badboys over nerds.So charisma and popularity matters sometimes so it showed last night.  And we know Tbose has no charisma or personality at all, I wonder how he managed as a young man trying to score ladies with that personality but the man is well built upstairs no doubt.

I hate the term elitism,it forgets to describe who/what makes one an elitist,cos its not conduct,nor genes,rather they are propagated to their positions by the VERY masses.Wouldnt you say JZ is also part of the elite??

I assume the biggest thing guys in here must talk about is how to get a civil movement going in SA.

Nothing wrong with intellectuals. On the TM camp I will go with the following people: Joel, If the Zuma camp can sort out their differences he should be included in his administration. Problem with Joel is that he has written so many policies that are not in favour with Cosatu and the SACP.

 Phumzile, that woman is just good at what she does. Problem with her was that her husband tried to take Zuma to the cleaners because Bulelani was being suspected of being a spy. Therefore it was pay back time, problem is the plan backfired.

19 Dec 2007 04:39

You know since the beginning of the conference, i so wished that the eections could just pass and life would get back to normal. I doubt whether I will ever know what NORMALITY is. Anyyway, yesterday after the anouncments, when Vuyo and the Political Analyst were doing a "post mortem", I was fascinated by Vuyo's body language. He had this "how could you people vote for Zuma" face. Disappointed to the core and couldn't at least try to hide it.

Rumours are making rounds that Trevor Manuel is relinquishing his position as the Minister of Finance. Check The Beeld of today – 19 Dec 2007. I was listening to the news this morning and this is what Hellen Zille had to say about Msholozi’s victory or appointment (whatever, you wanna call it) “ Jacob Zuma’s appointment is not only a tragedy for the ANC but for SA as a whole. If he is to be the next president of SA, ONLY God knows that this country is heading for disaster. He operates as an individual and has no clue what the strategies of the collective are. If the ANC could not  come up with a better leader than JZ, then they are in troble" (I am quoting what Ms God-ZILLE was saying. Please don’t shoot the messenger)


I have a bone to pick with the newly elected Deputy President. The one and only “The honourable Mr Kgalema Motlanthe”. Yesterday he is said something that left me so flabbergasted. He said that the journey to the succession race had absolutely nothing to do with the country and the ANC, but more about PERSONALITIES. Maybe I have my wires crossed. Hasn’t he been in it the whole time? He saw that the Mbeki/Zuma camps were dividing the ANC, but did nothing about it, and now he has the nerve to say that the interest of the masses were not taken into consideration. I mean, c'mon people!

If the anc isnt capable of making decision within themselves, how will they be able to make proper decisons for the country. Who ever voted JZ for ANC president has killed the ANC, and Mbeki's tactics and hide and seek games are slowly but surely detroying this beautiful country of ours, for years blacks have been fighting, crying and demanding "izwe lethu", that the white folks took from us, I hope that "we" will sleep well at night knowing that we "loyally" gave it back to them. It took us years to get power and freedom, I wonder how long it will take for "us" to get it again.

Mina all I have learnt since the beginning of the conference is that it could be very dangerous for leaders to be intelligent,and lack of brains is regarded as being 'humble'.

Thats my biggest gripe with these ppl who went to make far-reaching results involving my damned future.There seemed to be more on the 'taking out of ' instead of the' electing of'-and that in itself shows that we still have a long way to go in terms of policy based electioneering.

Therefore,maybe the poor will vote for the ANC again,cos th15ey 'identify' with him,but will remain poor.And that the likes of Joel had been sidelined for being merely intellectual...

This sums up my thoughts on this matter: It was more a rejection of Mbeki than a vote for Zuma! Tbose left us no choice!!! 

It's not the end of the world people, calm down. He was elected President of the ANC, not South Africa, you can leave the ANC if you are an unhappy member but a lot can happen between now and 2009, let's not jump to conclusions, JZ is President of the ANC, not South Africa so no need to panic....YET!

19 Dec 2007 17:44

I am just glad the people have spoken - JZ is the ANC President ...if people had not wanted change they would have voted for Mbeki. It was a landslide victory for JZ.
 Mbeki's attempt to stay as ANC President is pure greed...he had ten years to implement policies but they wasted time in discussions.

MSOE:1. MOST PEOPLE ARE VOTING FOR ZUMA BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN BRAINWASHED TO NOT MAKE A XHOSA (FOR THE 3RD TIME) PRESIDENT.
2. SOME OF THEM VOTE FOR ZUMA BECAUSE HIS FRIEND, NEIGHBOUR AND EVERYONE IS VOTING FOR ZUMA NOT BECAUSE HE UNDERSTANDS THE CONSEQUENCES OF VOTING FOR THE MAN.
3. HE IS IN THE PAPERS MOST OFTEN THAN WHY NOT VOTE FOR HIM?

I WILL TELL YOU THIS, MOST KZN PEOPLE ARE VOTING FOR ZUMA BECAUSE HE IS ZULU, AND FOR NO OTHER REASON.

You blow your horn that you are a journalist and you come with half baked stories/facts. I am flabbagasted by your comment - you portray IsiZulu speakers from KZN as if they do not have minds of their own. Those are not facts, it's your views, i am insulted as umuntu waseKZN. Go back to your books before you make such statements that are demeaning to people.

While leaving in a country that is badly affected by the HIV/Aids pandemic and have a president that claims that HIV/Aids are not related. and also that he has never seen anyone with HIV while his spokesman died of the disease! He then erects a R90 million security fence in his plush home, does anyone make noise about that no! This is politics ...
It did not make Bill Clinton less of a favourite after the Monica Lewinsky saga so why crucify Zuma who was equitted in the court of law for the rape charges...people need to stop ukuziqulekisa ...

ANC Youth League leader Fikile Mbalula is seldom at a loss for words, and on Wednesday he strung them together with cheerful disregard for the conventions of the English language.
Speaking to journalists at the ANC's policy conference in Polokwane, he labelled himself "spokesperson and chief campaigner lobbyist of the youth league".
As he got going with "all the lies and the rabble arousing (sic) has come to a point of reality", some head scratching was understandable.
"You are mockering around a political position," he said later.
The gobbledegook did not stop there.
"Corruption must be dealt with including in terms of its manifestation," Mbalula said. 

Having previously referred to Finance Minister Trevor Manuel as a "drama queen", he took the opportunity to take a dig a Deputy Defence Minister Mluleki George.
George told a group of Mbeki supporters on Monday "at the moment, comrades, we are on top of them (ANC president Jacob Zuma's camp)".
Mbalula compared George to "comical Ali" - former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's spin doctor Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf.
Al-Sahif was the man who insisted Iraq was winning the second Gulf War while the Americans were advancing on Baghdad and the city was crumbling around him. 

In keeping with war metaphors, Mbalula compared the road to Zuma's triumph at the conference to the bloody street battles fought between the Germans and the Russians in Leningrad at the close of World War II, in the winter of 1945.
"We will deal with them street by street," he said, quoting a Russian general.
The first victory, said Mbalula, had been the triumph of manual over electronic vote counting. "We did not want a computer thing."
Next came the bombardment of ANC chairperson Mosiuoa Lekota with points of order. This was followed by the rejection of gender parity for the ANC's top six positions. 

"It was a campaigning strategy, not an issue of principle," he said.
Finally, added Mbalula with unwavering glee, came Zuma's election as ANC president.

Wanted: A job, any job

Mandy Rossouw | Polokwane, South Africa



20 December 2007 08:16

In the aftermath of Tuesday’s top six election, several senior Cabinet ministers and their aides are now getting their CVs together and are suddenly looking forward to the Mail & Guardian jobs section on Friday -- they realise their future in a Zuma government and ANC is not looking very bright.

First on the list is, of course, Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota, who was Zuma’s most outspoken critic. Even after being reprimanded by other senior party members, Lekota still could not resist the temptation to accuse Zuma of lying and having corrupt moral values.

And his shenanigans with Provincial and Local Government Minister Sydney Mufamadi -- they allegedly went around dishing out cash and jobs to ANC delegates in exchange for votes -- will not endear either of them to the Zuma crowd.

The Pahad brothers, who have been enjoying the cosy life of single malts since day one of the Mbeki presidency, will also now have to look for greener pastures because others will occupy the leather couches at Mahlamba Ndlovu.

Minister in the Presidency Essop Pahad will probably not be asked to stay on in his position. His brother, Aziz, will at least be able to use his oratory skills honed at the weekly media briefings to get a lecturer position in international relations, surely?

Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, the driver of government’s skills and job creation strategy, will now get hands-on experience of what it is like to be a job seeker. Fortunately her husband, Bulelani Ngcuka, who left the public service three years ago, could set her up for a job in the private sector.

Foreign Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma was offered the position of national chairperson in the Zuma camp’s top six -- an offer she rejected. As she contemplates her choices during her last official overseas trips in the coming months, she could very well be regretting that move.

Things are not looking good for the Fraser-Moleketi family as a whole: Geraldine (Public Service and Administration) will now be wishing she gave in to the workers during the big public service strike. An extra couple of million rand from her budget, a warmer smile, or just a more reconciliatory tone when she spoke to them might have spared her the humiliation of now preparing her CV.

Husband Jabu Moleketi (Deputy Minister of Finance), on the other hand, forgot about his socialist roots and took the capitalist road to hopefully succeed Minister of Finance Trevor Manuel. Now that door seems to have closed.

Another family who will be in trouble is the Nqakulas, with both Minister of Safety and Security Charles, and Home Affairs Minister Nosiviwe being strong and outspoken Mbeki supporters.

One government minister who managed to buy herself some time is Brigitte Mabandla, who has not yet approved the charging of either police National Commissioner Jackie Selebi or the new ANC president.

The list continues with ANC head of presidency, Smuts Ngonyama, who was in charge of communications for the party as well, probably collecting boxes already to pack up his office. His sidekick, former SABC journalist Tiyani Rikhotso, is also not holding his breath for an extension of his contract.

Minister of Intelligence Ronnie Kasrils, who also nailed his colours to the Mbeki mast, knows his treatment of former spy boss Billy Masetlha will now come back to haunt him.

And last, but not least, almost all the provincial premiers will have to start packing up and getting ready to leave their fancy mansions. Most don’t have job security, given they are either outspoken Mbeki supporters — such as Limpopo Premier Sello Moloto, Kwazulu-Natal Premier S’bu Ndebele and Western Cape P

@ Mathaz  
And his shenanigans with Provincial and Local Government Minister Sydney Mufamadi 
Will not be missed. Look at the plight of Khutsong community. He did nothing to help.

First on the list is, of course, Defence Minister Mosiuoa Lekota, who was Zuma’s most outspoken critic. Even after being reprimanded by other senior party members, Lekota still could not resist the temptation to accuse Zuma of lying and having corrupt moral values. 
Let me get back to you on this one. His defeat was based on  emotions.

The Pahad brothers
The deputy foreign affairs minister should be in the NEC. Essop Pahad will not be missed. That guy was a yes man to TM. 

Deputy President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, the driver of government’s skills and job creation strategy,
I will surely miss this woman. For me she is the best when it comes to getting things done. That is if the JZ camp do not nominate her into the NEC

Foreign Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma was offered the position of national chairperson in the Zuma camp’s top six -- an offer she rejected.
Let me get my thoughts around this one and will revert once I am clear.

Things are not looking good for the Fraser-Moleketi family as a whole:
Fraser I will not miss. I do not see that portfolio that she is holding as importantat. Infact they should scrap that portfolio completely. Each department of the public servant should fall under the delegated portfolio of the ministers appointed. I do not whether I am making sense on this one.

Jabu moleketi must be kept. He was appointed to that porfolio as a succession to Trevor Manuel.

Another family who will be in trouble is the Nqakulas, with both Minister of Safety and Security Charles, and Home Affairs Minister Nosiviwe being strong and outspoken Mbeki supporters.
Need I say more. Just look at the mess of their departments.

Minister of Intelligence Ronnie Kasrils, who also nailed his colours to the Mbeki mast, knows his treatment of former spy boss Billy Masetlha will now come back to haunt him. 
He is definately out.

One government minister who managed to buy herself some time is Brigitte Mabandla
I have not seen the value that she providing to her department and therefore reserve judgement.

And last, but not least, almost all the provincial premiers
This one in my opinion they are all out.

Minister of transport, Jeff Radebe may survive. He did not ruffle any fearthers in a wrong way. His portfolio in my opinion is under performing.

Minister of trade and industry, Alec Erwin will definately be out. He was the one who suggested that TM should go for the third term automatically at the NEC meeting. Only Mathews Phosa diagreed with that motion and said that the branches are the ones that should decide.

Thoko Didiza should remain, she is definately as hard worker.

@zee babes,eish boo,et al,
Ive doing my best to avoid your comments for a while,temptation has become too great for me to ignore..

Now that JZ and his ilk has won,isnt it about time we leave him alone.Take it from me,a Tswana,now that Zulus have won,can the rest of us get back to any semblence of normalcy??

It was never,EVER,gonna be possible for JZ to win without such innane comments being bandied around,which at worse describes the extent of division.The other factor is that this has been over-analysed and commented on.

I find it interesting that ppl expected Terror to keep quiet and let the likes of Vavi et al,to make noise.Tbose kept quiet,didnt campaign yet ppl thought he wanted to hang on.

I bet we gonna have more drivel directed at us by the likes of Vavi,Zee Babes,Mbalula and Blade .Pity one cant always flip channels..

@realist,
The weirdest thing for me in all of this was Tbose' silence.That everyone had the guts to say their feelings towards him,villified and played him,very hard,he kept a stoic silence.

And thats the only thing that impressed me with him.Therefore,did he enter the elections prepared?Or was he pushed to stand against JZ?I dont think Mbeki,as evidenced in the Mafikeng conference,would have ever taken such a risk??I am beginning to doubt this whole charade of the ANC.

And this shall be my very last comment on the ANC issue,it is exhausted and saturated...

<<<I find it interesting that ppl expected Terror to keep quiet and let the likes of Vavi et al,to make noise.>>> 
My reference to Terror Lekota was based on the "manner" in which he was addressing the comrades & events that took place at the conference.
He seemed like he was irritated with the Zuma crowd and there was a news clip they showed of him telling the Zuma supporters  "You can sing and shout but please man, can't you do it in a more respectable manner? Nxx" Okay, not 100% his words but he was saying something like that and it seemed bitter and this was even before the results were made....shame...

I was living in the Free State when he was premier (sp) and I used to adore him...he's changed since then.

@ Brown Sugar,
I rememba the time,then he was unwanted by the Cabinet,thats why he was thrown to the backwaters of the country..

And his rise to the Chairpersonship was greatly unappreciated cos he was standing against Steve Tshwete.

However,even the calmest person I ever met,Brigalia,her voice was shaking,Sally too.And one of the delegates argued on Sunday that he was intimidated.

For me the chickens were coming to roast for him,howbeit 8+ years later...

Its a shame, i guess there is nothing the other people can do. 
I sorry for the people who supported Mbeki cos their names are written in white ink while Zuma's people's are written in black. I guess it means sometimes u have to keep quiet about certain things if u want to succeed in life.

Mathaz
21 Dec 2007 02:36

They should have at least tried to also include about 5 of Mbeki's people but at the end of the day when you are a leader you must surround yourself with people of the same calibre.  Not necessarily "yes sir" people but the ones you know will always have your back.  Shaick will peobabbly be pardoned sometime in 2010, he might even make it to the opening of the world cup.
