Entirely predictable and on time.

The choice for me is between voting for the ANC and not voting.

I find the other parties dull – they are not going to get my vote or that of those who I am able to influence because the ANC is f…ing up.

Political parties have failed to inspire in spite of all the space that the ANC has created for them, until that changes they will remain on the fringes.

Be that as it may, I am extremely worried about this particular action of President Zuma – choosing someone who has no regard for the constitution is something that I would have expected from Mugabe or Bush, not Zuma.

because Ginwala didnt say this.

i tend to disagree with you on that…youe article published in the tabloids clearly said “Simelane’s appointment is unlawful”.

Now i fail to understand your argument about a baby and stove and how it relates to Simelane giving bad evidence in an Inquiry. Further, how that relates to him doing his daily duties as a DG. as far as im concerned, he was pronounced to have given poor/incorrect evidence with no basis in law in an Inquiry…not that he couldnt do his day to day duties properly, which is what you imply from your article!!

further, this is a man who led the competition commission to many successes in the period he was at the helm…im not a fan of Simelane, however it is incorrect, if not injustice in itself, to use your platform to discredit someone who can clearly walk the walk!!

please clarify how he cannot be fit and proper in terms of the NPA ACT!! if i understand your argument correctly, you are saying a director of a listed company who contravenes the King Code rules {not Law btw but accepted standard practice} and receives share options in that company although he is a Non-exec (hint hint: Dr/Prof King the drafter of the codes), is not Fit and Proper to be a director of a public company as per the Companies Act??? I also understand you to mean that, A judge who breaches the Speed Limit by a more than 60kph… is not fit and proper to be a judge (e.g. that Judge in George), i also undertand you to mean, Simelane being kicked out of a High School Board of Governors beacuse he failed to attend three sittings…he is then not fit and proper!

im sure this is not what the NPA ACT had in mind…therefore your words are incorrect Dear Sir!

Maggs, you disappoint me. That you voted for him the first time I can understand, at a stretch, but a second time??!!!

Only applies if one has knees and a cerebum

AS both Pierre and Maggs himself have pointed out, the electorate is not stupid. The voters will definitely eject the ANC from power in the next election if it makes such appointments!

Hey Dworky,

As small change to your interpretation of my view.

“The voters will definitely eject the ANC from power in the next election if the opposition parties can impress!”

Otherwise you’re spot on. As usual!

Yes, I agree how could he insult Mugabe like that.
