That being said, are there any ORIGINAL reasons why Zuma’s lack of legal guilt for a matter that the courts have not decided on, should compel the thinking public that Zuma is a good man who’s of the finest morals and would lead this country forward in terms of development and a moral regeneration?

I will agree with you on the one point that ANC is voted on the basis of its historical significance as a political liberator. But I agree with Mpho Mogadingoane that personalities drive the choices people make about who should be the next ANC leader – consequently the next President of South Africa (as things stand currently). As ANC supporters, we vote mostly with our hearts and less with our heads.

Allow me to give an example. We have been made to believe that Zuma is pro-labour and pro-poor, while Mbeki is pro-business and pro-rich.

Zuma, on his overseas expeditions, has always assured the foreign investors that the current policies are not going to change. He has been at pains at almost all one-on-one interviews in the country and overseas to explain that the policies of the ANC are a collective and not individual. What this means therefore is that Mbeki has been implementing ANC (collective) policies, and not his won. (Why does he get the blame?)

If these policies are not going to change (according to Zuma), why then the view that Zuma is pro-poor and pro-labour while Mbeki is pro-rich and business? If the policies are the same, one can only conclude that the difference is on personalities.

Zuma is running and winning support mostly on sympathy (emotions).

Come to think of it, I don’t mind any successful person if they deserve it.

Lindelani, could it perhaps be that you’re looking for excuses for your own lack of success? I know people who, like you, are very brave in internet forums, where they can hide who they are in real life.

Often they’re introverted and jealous of other people, but too cowardly to stand up for themselves, so they invent an alter-ego online, and then act like a tough guy, bullying people and saying outrageous things to shock and offend, because they know in real life they don’t stand a chance.

They also pretend to be much more important and successful than they really are – bookkeepers pretend they’re CEOs, and legal secretaries pretend they’re attorneys. There’s nothing wrong with those jobs of course, but sometimes people feel inferior to others with more degrees, titles, etc.

Just some thoughts Lindelani, which you’ll probably disregard because I’m a white racist who would kill all black people if I could and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Get a life dude. Seriously.

“THE soon-to-be disbanded Scorpions yesterday raided seven premises countrywide, some linked to a defence firm jointly owned by former armed forces chief Siphiwe Nyanda and businessman Fana Hlongwane.

The raids are related to an arms deal fraud and corruption investigation into a £1.5-billion (about R21-billion) fighter jet purchase.

Teams of Scorpions investigators descended on the offices and homes of Hlongwane, Zimbabwean arms dealer John Bredenkamp and others thought to be involved in ensuring BAe Systems got the contract to supply the SANDF with 24 Hawk 100 trainer jets and 28 Gripen fighter jets at a bid higher than that of competitors during the 1999 deal.

At the time, Hlongwane was an adviser to the late defence minister, Joe Modise, on whose watch the controversial multibillion-rand arms deal was concluded.”

And that is not all folks, the best is yet to come:

“The BAe Systems contracts are worth more than R15 billion.

They are alleged by opponents of the deal to have paid at least one Mbeki cabinet minister around R10 million.

The premises that were raided include those of Zimbabwe arms dealer Johan Bredenkamp, a consultant to BAe and an arms supplier to Mugabe, and Fana Hlongwane, another BAe consultant.

However sources in the NPA told The Citizen five other premises were also raided.

Former ANC member Andrew Feinstein earlier in the year confirmed that the Serious Fraud Office had been in touch with him and that he had been co-operating with their inquiry”

As Bobby Dylan said – the times they are a changing.

Big boy lindelani,

How I have missed you kid. I love it when you whistle through your zulu sphincter ani. Take this dude : Most whites are superior to you and like it or not nothing will change……oooops now I’ve made a big mistake, I’ve stooped to your level.

I love to see a successful black man, it shows that some of your brothers can actually survive without the white-boss. I am so sick and tired of seeing useless blacks standing on the street corners and when I drive past them, they point at their empty stomachs. (I guess in their minds it goes something like this: you owe me you white bastard). On the other hand, I am sure you get absolute thrills seeing whites beg on the streets.

I’ve said before, I think some big white “boerseun” hurt you when you were a small picaninny. Grow up, be smart, loose your hatred, you are way to young to be so bitter.

To all the other constitutional experts, may I marry a second wife or two or three ?

Perhaps to get the message to the less educated in the population we should talk in houses, schools and hospitals instead of millions,

Shaik arranged a bribe of 50 or 100 houses that won’t be built in Orlando every year for Zuma.
Or perhaps a High School in Ndevana was paid to Zuma this year.
Maybe Zuma’s trial is costing a Hospital in Orange Farm.
The roads in Kwa Mashu will have to wait while we make the conditions right for Zuma to be President.

Then see if they understand or not.

Just a friend reminder to all our black brothers

have you seen how frustrated whites get when they see a successful black person?

Have you see how how happy and superiour they get when seeing on the streets begging?

Like it or not white people hate us and I personally very much HATE them too

and nothing will change
