It’s No longer a Zuma issue!!!

 

As of right now our Presidents pathetic behaviour is no longer our great nation’s biggest concern.

 

He is one man, and the fact is, one man, without the support of the evil doers propping him up and approving of his disgusting, defiant and now insulting behaviour, would no longer be.

 

It is a great concern that the rot and “weakness” is way more prevalent within the governing party than we would want to believe.

 

It is that kind of blind loyalty that is often driven by fear, and when we fear we are forced into a corner and we make instinctive fight or flight decisions based no longer moral or democratic thought processes.

 

Decisions made in this frame of mind are angry decisions and angry decisions become angry behaviour and angry behaviour brings about revolt and revolt results in a revolution..

 

You sir and your clan of cowards are indeed revolting.

 

 

In response to the higher education ministers sickening comments about “White Lies” being behind the Nkandla theft reported on by “Black Public Protector”, My humble submission:

 

As a white male South African, and I mention the male part only because at the young age of 18, I, along with countless others, was sentenced to two years in the SADF, No choice!, and for two years I earned “nothing”, but more importantly, I was involved in a war against my very own country and its people and most importantly, against my will.

 

During this really crap time of my live, where my government owned me, I remember one specific highlight. I was of legal age and “colour” to vote in the 1983 referendum, and am to date proud that I did “vote”. I voted “yes” to moving our nation forward and away from its discriminatory past “apartheid” ways.

 

The result of that referendum was a fantastic 66% in favour of change. It was that percentage of white South Africans that were prepared to vote with their heads, hearts and fears on their sleeves. As for the rest, I am positive that many more “fear filled “ones were however relieved by the result.

 

I am proud of the fact that so many people that were/are collectively branded racist were/are in actual fact the people that freed this country from apartheid, NOT the ANC.

 

The majority of white people where against apartheid, and they took the first chance offered them to make a stand. So hearing the despicable and clearly ignorant, “possibly” racist people like the right! Dishonourable Blade Nzimande, Meshack Radebe, and the broadening ANC ministry, in their current panicked behaviour, are disgusting, disappointing and downright dishonest.

 

 In sad Summary, “White South Africans, by and large, are proud of and prepared to vote for what’s right, as opposed to, again by and large, Black South Africans not being prepared to vote for what’s white”.

 

STOP THE ROT IN A HURRY; THIS MAY WELL BE OUR LAST AND ONLY CHANCE!

 

 

So the idea is an anti union or a no union representation or collective with it’s own bargaining powers and rights based on the constitutional right to equal opportunity and in line with a persons free will to choose to seek employment in the free market. To give the real voiceless a voice.

 

Labour unions in this country are not true to the needs of the country and neither are they cognisant of the economic reality “our country is scarcely able to float”. They are not protecting and creating jobs, they’re often demanding that incompetence gets paid even more. What about the fact that no job translates to no voice, if a man or woman cannot put their own bread on the table, then they are beholden to another. They become the ever-grateful recipients of another person’s grant, and that is a tragedy.

 

You seek not to employ and grow voices and grant true emancipation to your people, instead, you keep the grant system alive you aid inequality and I’m sure less directly you impact on the lives of many of the beholden voiceless beaten woman and children in our society.

 

At a time where leadership is scarce, I make a point of excluding our current, stand alone, President Ramaphosa. But at a time where our nation is crying out for human values and a conscience-based commitment to leadership, to step up and do the right thing, you fail. Your role is non-less than that of good governance and moral judgement of the highest order, but you fail. You cast many a stone at they in governance, yet you lead poorly, you hold our nation to ransom, at that moment when you could be great!! Pull together your 700 000 strong membership and ask them … Ladies and gentlemen of our great nation and our great union, what can we do for our country in this time of need? … Can we, the powerhouse of our nation, stand together and not make a demand of our crippled employer, can we get back to work and work hard and honestly give it our personal best to make the desperate difference that employed people can make to our economy? Can we be the first to make a difference in this dark hour? Let us be less demanding of our country and lets us decide on a brighter future for all our nation, let us create jobs and lets us create voices, voices that can be felt across the world. We urge all our members to get back to work, to generate the much needed power that the growth strategy needs. We demand no increase for the next 12 months we offer our services as servants to the nation grateful for the tax revenue that provides us this opportunity to share out caring conscience filled voices with our fellow citizens. Out of the ashes, we rise !

 

 

Several years ago, many South Africans (maybe largely white), emphatically believed that Zuma would not make it past jail, would not collect 200 million, and certainly, would not become the president of our “not” so great (anymore) nation. How wrong “we” all were. So now we hear warnings of the threat of one Julius Malema and again, we, along with a growing number of black south Africans, sing the same song, Oh he’ll go to jail, he’s an idiot, not worthy of running a country, etc etc and I’m afraid bla  bla bla, many will say.

 

Why so? Simple! And I ask that you pardon the pun, Simple people, don’t understand, nor want, long drawn out socio-economic solutions. They don’t have the patience, or where withal, needed for the country to evolve. The masses “still” have nothing.

 

 To feel good about how many houses have been built and how many people now have running water and toilets (because you can’t call them sewage “systems”) is irrelevant, especially to the “still have not’s” and there are, sadly, millions of them. And for them change is not on its way, regardless of how good a story Zuma believes he has to tell.

 

Enter Dubious Delema, He offers tangible, realistic, and most important, immediate solutions to the “still have not’s”.  Whether anybody thinks it’s fair or sustainable does not feature. And sadly race does play a part, a very vital part. For many of the simple south Africans, and broader I’m sure, the fact that the current government is stealing “our” resources, hand over fist, and thereby squandering everybody’s money,  is less important and in some instances not even comprehended. What is important to them is that white South Africans, seem, still to have it “all”. So when the government is held to account for maladministration and blatant theft, the simpler and perhaps, more racist f folk still think it’s a victory against apartheid or white people. If fact, that, is the very basis of the proposed solution and the very view of one Julius Malema.

 

As mentioned, how sustainable his option is, is not important to someone who has nothing and no promise of no, let alone, an economically equal, future.

 

They, “the still have not’s”, and so too would you, want change, here and now.

 

So to offer to take from “the white haves” and the “corporate white haves”(Banks, Mines, big business) through nationalisation and any other option is a real option.

 

Whilst his current appeal is perhaps mostly to the black minority “youth”, this is a growing class and class that owns the future of South Africa. Like it or not!
