THIS IS WHY I AM NO LONGER A SUPPORTER...
This would probably the first time to say it in the open but I have to agree with Eric Myeni when he said that the ANC was NOT for BLACKS - it is a party for whites (http://www.businesslive.co.za/southafrica/2011/08/23/anc-policy-favours-whites---miyeni). I would not have believed it if I didn't see or hear it.
YES I did witness it! Yesterday 10 November 2011 at about 10h00 CAT (Central African Time). This time we did not use African time though as the verdict on ANCYL leaders was delivered on the dot. Normally as Africans we don't always stick to punctuality. This time/day however was different. Media reporters said it all in Bold as their frontpages welcomed us on almost every streetlightpole in Johannesburg. Headlines such as D-day for JuJu, Long walk to Polokwane and other extracts greeted us, on all these lamppost, there was not once a mention of the other Youth League leaders, mostly JuJu.
How powerful is this young firebrand leader? What impact is he making? Does he deserve that much exposure?
He is the kind of person that leaves CEO's and other management teams having sleepless nights. Even today most of those running big business are NOT SURE whether his suspension must be seen as victory or otherwise as he planted the seeds already. This however is not what I wanted to relay.
My message would be something like this::: "Whites are now supporting ANC as ANC listened to their outcry." Why such a statement some would ask! Whenever the name Malema is mentioned shivers going some of our spines. Sometimes for good reasons sometimes for the bad,we must however admit that this leader is having guts.
Now the why::: Julius Malema and other prominent Youth League leaders were charged, disciplined and subsequently suspended. Hear this ----> immediately after the DC Chairperson a white dude mentioned that the leaders would be suspended for two years, almost all the reporters,journalists and other interest groups in attendance at the media briefing echoed in affirmation, as if they've predicted it, through the screens of my television, because they were listening selectively, they missed the part where it was mentioned that the sentences was suspended, immediately the attendees' cheers returned to an immediate silence, almost as if something bad happened.
It was however confusing for me too, as such the mentioning of a suspension suspended. Then again politicians always use confusing confusion.
Let's get to the point: the ANC is for whites as they directly and indirectly influenced the decision and outcome of the disciplinary procedure. They used all the forms of media, the courts, open letters and other forms of influence, and this just to get rid of one soul Julius Malema.
Today almost every frontpage on newspapers, just report on one item i.e. Bye-Bye Julius Malema, a pity most of Malema haters don't listen to his warnings --->smile haters smile but only for a few minutes.
Truth be told most of his haters are not sure what to expect. I would say, he might be gone, he might appeal, he might win, he might loose, they might even chastise him, but his work is definitely not done... Even if it will be done to one of his cronies.
Therefore the question...
SO many questions - SO little answers...
