JACOB ZUMA'S POST 2010 FIASCO (CHUCKLE)

On the lighter side

Jacob Zuma's camp has asked his militant supporters to show restraint until after the 2010 World Cup so as not to endanger the staging of the event. However once the event was over, said a spokesperson, "cadres should feel free to uphold democracy in whatever manner they choose, using whichever projectiles and flammables come to hand."

Observers say this is the first time the Zuma camp has made any effort to curb the confrontational rhetoric of the Mkhonto we Sizwe veterans and ANC Youth League members who have vowed to plunge the country into chaos if Zuma is found guilty of corruption, or if he is given his day in court, or not, or something, just because.

An essential pension plan

The reading of the statement was delayed briefly while paramedics treated an elderly woman whose wooden replica AK-47 had become entangled in her leopard-skin bra, leaving her with severe splinter-related injuries.

According to the statement it was essential for Zuma's supporters not to do anything that could jeopardise the pension plans of either Zuma or the National Executive Council.

"Cadres must understand that the 2010 World Cup is going to make the party and a number of senior comrades extremely rich, and when senior comrades are rich, democracy is rich," read the statement.

"We therefore call upon them to behave in a way that goes against their more incendiary democratic urges, and to refrain from performing acts of love for Msholozi that involve threats to kill, eliminate, remove or otherwise terminally inconvenience political opponents."

The 2010 contingency plan...

It went on to state that FIFA and European policy-makers were not familiar with South African democratic traditions.

"What we call rolling mass action, they call mob justice. What we call lobbying, they call intimidation. What we call the fruits of liberation, they call a bribe."

It said that these were "ugly Eurocentric terms", but that they would have to be tolerated for the time being.

Meanwhile Zuma's camp has confirmed that it is working on a contingency plan to deal with possible fallout if the World Cup is withdrawn from South Africa at the eleventh hour.

Dubbed 'Operation Jump Up And Down', the plan involves "burning some railway carriages, emptying municipal rubbish bins onto pavements, and breaking down the symbols of capitalist greed, such as shop windows and display cabinets of electronics goods stores, cell phone vendors, and branches of American Swiss"

DIABOLICAL SCRAMBLE FOR A PIECE OF "ZUMA" POWER

A future of division, factionalism, stagnation and patronage

The African National Congress under Jacob Zuma shows signs of losing its way

A LITTLE over half a year after Thabo Mbeki was ousted as president of the ruling African National Congress (ANC), worries are growing about the party’s new leadership and where it may take South Africa after a general election due next year. Arguments still rage over the corruption charges facing the new leader, Jacob Zuma, who is likely to replace Mr Mbeki as the country’s president. An unseemly fight within the ANC across the country is denting people’s confidence in their rulers.

Mr Zuma appeared in court this week in a bid to have the charges against him dismissed. Other appeals will probably follow and his trial—if it happens at all—is unlikely to start before the election. Critics accuse Mr Zuma of delaying tactics, but hundreds of supporters, including ANC bigwigs and some cabinet ministers, went to the small town of Pietermaritzburg to support their champion. They want the charges dismissed on the grounds that he is the victim of a political conspiracy and that a fair trial has become impossible.

There are worries as to how far Mr Zuma’s zealous supporters may go. The ANC’s leader in the Free State province, re-elected last month, turned the party’s provincial conference into a fund-raiser, with delegates urged to open their wallets to help pay Mr Zuma’s legal bills. Some go much further than this. The new leader of the ANC Youth League, Julius Malema, created a storm when he bellowed at a rally in June that he was ready to “kill” for Mr Zuma. He later said that his words should not be taken literally, but refused to apologise for them. The row caught fire again when the secretary-general of the Congress of South African Trade Unions expressed his undying support for Mr Zuma by repeating Mr Malema’s words.

The ANC itself, though professing its belief in democratic institutions, has failed to denounce Mr Malema’s words publicly, beyond a statement from Kgalema Motlanthe, the party’s deputy president, that they were “irresponsible”. An unrepentant Mr Malema then declared that the opposition had to be “eliminated”. Those who objected to his words were “political imbeciles” and “forces of counter-revolution”, said the Youth League.

Quarrels are also swirling around the constitutional court. Last week it ruled against Mr Zuma in a case related to the charges he faces. Mr Zuma’s supporters have openly questioned its judges’ impartiality, an unprecedented slight against one of the country’s most respected institutions. The court’s judges had earlier accused John Hlophe, a controversial judge who presides over the high court in the Western Cape, of trying to lean on two members of the constitutional court to persuade them to rule in favour of Mr Zuma.

Gwede Mantashe, the ANC’s secretary-general, lashed out at the constitutional court judges for going public with their accusations against Mr Hlophe before following the proper complaint procedures. Mr Mantashe saw it as a preparation for an onslaught on Mr Zuma. Whatever the outcome of the spat, the judiciary is damaged. One side insists that some judges are part of a witch hunt, while the other argues that the ANC is undermining judicial independence.

In any event, divisions inside the ANC since Mr Zuma’s election as the party’s national leader are as wide as ever—and are being replicated in local leadership contests. At the North West provincial conference in May, police had to disperse irate delegates claiming they were wrongfully excluded from the gathering. In the same province, some party members have taken the ANC to court. Others have been beaten up or shot.

In the Western Cape, the ANC’s provincial secretary was stabbed in the neck at a party get-together. Countless other party meetings and nominations of candidates have been marred by intimidation and allegations of patronage and vote-buying. When the Youth League gathered to elect its leadership in April, the conference was suspended after some delegates got into drunken brawls, throwing chairs and exposing their bare bottoms to the media.

After decades of stitching up party elections behind closed doors, the ANC is finding it hard to become more open without rancour or greed. Mr Motlanthe warned a recent provincial conference in Limpopo that the party was in danger of following other liberation movements that lost their way after succumbing to “division, factionalism, stagnation and patronage”.

If this scramble for office and its spoils turns uglier, the ANC’s popularity could dip. More importantly, it could damage South African democracy, since the ANC is likely to remain in power for a long time. Party bigwigs have been sent to problem provinces to discipline troublemakers. The new ANC leaders say that officials who perform badly will be replaced, a surprisingly novel idea in a party used to rewarding loyalty more than competence. Parliament, where the ANC has a big majority, seems to be keeping the executive in check more vigorously since Mr Zuma ousted Mr Mbeki as the party boss. But it is unclear whether this refreshing zeal will endure once the new guard takes charge, almost certainly with Mr Zuma as the country’s president next year.

The ANC’s new leaders say they want to make government work better to improve people’s lives faster. They recently sacked two of the country’s nine provincial premiers, both of them appointed by Mr Mbeki. One ran the worst-performing province, the Eastern Cape, long stained by dismal management, crumbling schools and hospitals, and allegations of corruption. The other, Ebrahim Rasool, was in charge of one of the best-performing provinces, the Western Cape, but had long been scrapping with the party’s local bosses. The opposition Democratic Alliance could wrest the province from the ANC at the election if it manages to join forces with a flurry of smaller opposition parties, as it did to win control of the city of Cape Town. Still, there is little doubt that the ANC, as the party of liberation under Nelson Mandela and others, will retain a solid majority in the national Parliament.

Meanwhile, violent crime remains high, food and petrol prices have soared and power-cuts earlier this year dented people’s confidence. The economy has slowed and higher interest rates are biting. There were strikes across the country on August 6th. The ANC’s unedifying internal wrangles are only adding to South Africans’ growing sense of gloom.

IT IS USELESS FOR WHITES TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE RACIST ANC

Labor Negotiations with the ANC

Mike Smith - 12/27/2007

In a recent article (http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_i...5941883C707494), the boys from Solidarity, Flip Buys, Dirk Herman, Kallie Kriel and other predominantly-white unions claimed to believe that they can bargain with the ANC. But to bargain successfully or even negotiate, you have to have some kind of leverage. You must have either money, numbers of people or superior weaponry. Why would Jacob Zuma and the ANC even listen to Solidarity??

Solidarity has nothing; Not a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. No money, no masses of people and certainly no weapons.

How can you bargain for a higher salary when you are unemployed? What are you going to fall back on when the deal falls through? Who stands to lose the most from the deal falling through?

Can you see my point? You never bargain from a point of a real need. Sun Tzu says you first win the war and then you go to battle.

The mistake these Afrikaner “Academics and Intelligentsia” makes is that they do not believe the Communist Tripartite Alliance (ANC, SACP, Cosatu) are their enemies. They honestly believe these people are reasonable human beings who will listen to their Afrikaner concerns. Dirk Herman wrote a little booklet on how to implement Affirmative action “Fairly”, called the “Good Practice guide to Affirmative Action” ( not sure about the exact title, My copy is…somewhere…) . What a crock. Even he admitted later that it was a failure and the ANC wiped their arsses with it.

Why should the ANC listen to Solidarity? It is not their people who suffer under Affirmative Action and Black Economic Empowerment. It is not their language and schools coming under attack. The ANC have nothing to negotiate for. They have everything already! So why should they even bother wasting time to come to the negotiating table? Solidarity will just be wasting their time.

I know how Solidarity will negotiate with the ANC. They want to propose a deal that will be beneficial to both sides; a win-win negotiation. They want to come with their western, capitalistic approach and show the ANC that both can walk away being winners. They are going to come up with the usual “Goals, Trade-offs, Alternatives, etc” nonsense of negotiating, that one gets taught on a two day course.

The truth is that the ANC is not interested. Just the fact that these Afrikaners want to bargain or negotiate is a sign of weakness to the ANC. If the Afrikaners had any balls they would first fight and then negotiate. All the ANC policies are aimed at total destruction of Whites in South Africa; their main focus is the Afrikaner; more particular …”The Afrikaner Intelligentsia”.

I cannot believe these so called Afrikaner leaders have not figured this elementary principle of warfare out. Karl von Clausewitz writes about it extensively in his books.

“Trace the ultimate substance of enemy strength to the fewest possible sources; compress the attack on these sources to the fewest possible actions; and subordinate minor actions as much as possible.” – On War, KvC.

In simple terms, “Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter”.

I am sure the Communists are au fait with Von Clausewitz and Sun Tzu. It is amazing that these so called Afrikaner leaders are such idiots.

Yes, Flip, Dirk and Kallie…start realizing that the YOU are the fly in the ointment to the ANC. They are coming after you and all your “Intelligentsia” buddies in the Afrikanerbond. They won’t stop until the last one of you is out of this country. You are the biggest threat to them, which is why they want you gone.

Over the last 15 years, the ANC have bribed, conned and lied the Afrikaners out of their leadership. What we sit wit now are the dregs that are left over.

Either this Afrikaner Intelligentsia is amazingly stupid or they are just pretending to put up a fight against the ANC. Are they already in the pockets of the opposition? Maybe they should come out and tell us what the hell is really going on? Are they being paid to put up a WWF-wrestling show for us? Dare I say, a mock fight? I would really like to know.

If these Afrikaner leaders are really interested in negotiating, they should first study their opponents and their opponent’s tactics carefully. Then, after they have formulated a strategy of their own, get some leverage. Then, and only then…you go to the negotiating table. Your opponent should be the one wanting to negotiate…not you. In fact, your opponent should be begging for negotiations, not you.

What these “Afrikaner Intelligentsia” of Solidarity, Afri-forum and the Afrikanerbond do not realize or do not want to acknowledge is that their enemies are bent on their total annihilation while they (the Arikaners) merely want to survive. These Afrikaners want to pretend that there are no wolves attacking the sheep. The flock will never be able to graze freely and in peace, unless the Afrikaners have some Sheepdogs protecting the perimeter against the wolves.

Unless they change their strategy and tactics drastically, the ANC will be forever walking over them. Maybe the first thing they have to do is acknowledge how deep they are in the brown smelly stuff. Work from there. Work themselves into a better position, later into a dominant position, only then can they go for a choke or a submission.

In the mean time I can see the ANC scoffing and laughing at these amateurs; me too.

ANC CONTROLLED MUNICIPALITIES IN TATTERS (LIKE THE REST OF THE COUNTRY THEY "CONTROL!"

THIS IS YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE THAT IN THIS SLIMEPIT- CREATED BY THE ANC- CALLED "DEMOCRATIC S.A, MANDELATOPIA, RAINBOW NATION" - OR WHAT THE HELL FUNNY NAME THEY TRY TO WACK ON IT TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD IN THE VIEW OF THE WORLD- IS BEING WAGGED BY THE TERRORISTS, COMMUNISTS- AND UNIONS- AND THAT THE ANC IS A TOTAL INCOMPETENT USELESS LOT OF CRIMINALS THAT CANNOT CONTROL EVEN THEIR SUBORDINATES!!

THIS LOT OF ILLITERATE NICOMPOOPS IS MAKING A TOTAL MOCKERY OF THE TERM "GOVERNANCE"- NOT EVEN MENTIONING THE TERM "DEMOCRATIC"- BECAUSE "DEMOCRATIC" IN THE ANC's DICTIONARY- MEANS RACISM BY BLACKS- CALLED "XENOPHOBIA", KILLING OF WHITE PEOPLE, MURDERING OF WHITE FARMERS, CORRUPTION AND DENIAL, LAND GRABS, THEFT OF OUR RECOURCES- AND COUVERING FOR ALL COMMUNIST BUDDIES. WHEN YOU GET CAUGHT- YOU USE THE POWER OF THREATS- AND OVERRIDE THE JUDICIARY SYSTEM TO GET OUT, BULLDOZE HUNDREDS OF NEW LAWS TO SUIT YOUR AIM, THOUSANDS OF NEW LAWS TO AMMEND YOUR MISTAKES OF YOUR PREVIOUS LAWS- AND MILLIONS OF BY-LAWS TO CORRECT YOUR AMMENDMENTS THAT WENT HAYWIRE...THEN SIMPLY LEAVE IT TO THE IDIOTIC "LAW ENFORCEMENT" - AND PUBLIC PAWNS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HELL YOU ACTUALLY TRIED TO ENFORCE - OR SIMPLY DISBAND ANY FORM OF OPPOSING JUDICIONAL FORCE. IF THAT DOES NOT WORK- YOU THREATEN YOUR OWN COUNTRY's POLICE SERVICE WITH DEATH- AND CHALLENGE YOUR HIGHEST RULING COURT. IF THAT DOES NOT WORK- YOU SIMPLY LET LOOSE YOUR COMMUNIST YOUTH LEAGUE GORILLAS, COMMUNIST UNIONS, COMMUNIST WOMAN'S LEAGUES, COMMUNIST YOUNG COMMUNISTS, COMMUNIST CONTROLLED TAXIS- AND COMMUNIST REBEL SECURITY FORCES TO RUN AMOK, BURN VEHICLES, BRAKE SHOPS AND BURN TYRES- AND HAPPILY SCREAMINGLY AND YELLINGLY MAKE THE COUNTRY UN-GOVERNABLE! THAT IS THE ANC's WAY OF DOING THINGS....JUST SO LONG THE 2010 SOCCER FIASCO EXPLODES HERE IN HAPPY SOUTH-AZANIACA!!!


More than 40 municipalities in three provinces are under investigation for corruption, the Ministry of Provincial and Local Government revealed on Monday in a written response to a Democratic Alliance question.

The ministry revealed that 43 municipalities across the provinces of the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape were under investigation for either maladministration or corruption.

With 35 municipalities under investigation, Kwazulu-Natal was the worst offender followed by the Eastern Cape with seven, while the Western Cape had only a single municipality under investigation.

The DA said the investigation, which included the one involving the Ukhahlamba municipality in the Eastern Cape where more than 100 children died after allegedly drinking contaminated water, reflected the level of poor governance in the country's municipalities.





Cadre deployment

"This latest example of poor governance at the local government level is just another in a growing body of evidence which shows how municipalities are being hampered by administrative incapacity and inept political leadership," DA spokesperson Willem Doman said in a statement on Monday.

The failure of municipalities to deliver quality basic services and the high rate of corruption in local government was rooted in the ANC's policy of cadre deployment.

"Key municipal posts are occupied by party loyalists who are often not qualified for the job and important oversight functions are not given priority," Doman said.

He called on the National Assembly Speaker Baleka Mbete to ensure that the matter was debated in Parliament.

ANC COMMUNIST RADICALS WANT TO KILL SCORPION MEMBERS TO PROTECT ZUMA

NOW THE RADICALS IN THE ANC BEGINS TO SHOW WHO RAN THE COUNTRY FOR 14 YEARS- AND REVEALS THAT THE ANC TAIL WILL NOT ALLOW ANYBODY ELSE TO TAKE THE POWER AWAY FROM THEM. THE COMMUNISTS WILL KILL THEIR OWN KIND IN ORDER TO STAY IN THE SEATS. KINDLY TAKE NOTE WHAT WILL BE IN STORE FOR SA IF MR. ZUMA AND HIS COMMUNIST UNION SUPPORTERS IS TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE COUNTRY.....SLAUGHTER AND MAYEM!

A top official from the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu) has warned that the African National Congress will not hesitate to "kill" the Scorpions if they continued to pursue ANC president Jacob Zuma, the Sowetan newspaper reported on Monday.

The report quoted Cosatu's KwaZulu-Natal secretary general Zet Luzipho as saying: "If the Scorpions bite the wrong people we will kill them. Like a dog when it starts biting relatives at your home. You get rid of it. We will do the same to the Scorpions."

Luzipho's statements followed the protests held throughout Durban on Friday when members of the ANC's eThwkweni region staged protests at 16 police stations throughout Durban to demand that criminal charges against Zuma be dropped.

Zuma faces a charge of racketeering, four charges of corruption, a charge of money laundering and 12 charges of fraud related to a multibillion-rand arms government arms deal. Zuma was charged in 2005 but that case was struck from the role in 2006. He was re-charged in December 2007.

The two Thint companies -- Thint Holding (Southern Africa) and Thint -- are the South African subsidiaries of the French arms manufacturing giant Thales International (formerly Thomson-CFS). Each company faces a charge of racketeering and two counts of corruption.

Meanwhile, it merged last week that businessman Hugh Glenister would be seeking an urgent high court interdict to bar Travelgate MPs from debating the future of the Scorpions.

He said at a Cape Town Press Club lunch on Tuesday that his lawyers were hoping to go to court to argue the matter next week.

The application would seek to have "220 members, if not more", disqualified on the grounds of conflict of interest from voting the Scorpions out of existence.

Glenister is currently waiting for the outcome of a Constitutional Court hearing on his challenge to government plans to disband the unit.
