South Africa A Failing Democracy continued

Hello Everybody,

Trusting all is well.

Yes, it's still summer here in South Africa, and we had a lot of rain over the past few days. On Christmas day, it rained the whole day, and we had to limit our fun too indoors and could not enjoy the lovely gardens, swimming pools and blue skies. It was still a lovely day, and we are grateful that we had the opportunity of spending this blessed day with family and fantastic friends. I hope you all had a splendid day to.

<b>South Africa A Failing Democracy – Focus on the Special Forces and NPA

This article focuses on the Special Forces of South Africa and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA). These departments are extremely powerful and under the direct control of Jeff Radebe, the Minister of Justice. The Special Forces is rigged with fraud and theft. The NPA is in complete shambles, and I wonder if there is any chance of this unit running properly.

South Africa a Failing Democracy Focus on Joe Modise and the Assassination of Chris Hani
This article is a brief focus on Joe Modise; he is an apartheid activist and was arrested alongside Nelson Mandela. He served as Minister of Defense under the Mandela presidency. He was a staunch guerrilla fighter and often came under the heat of Chris Hani during the struggle days.

The history and assassination of Chris Hani has always fascinated me, and I wanted to find a link to the failing democracy. I truly believe there was a link. Chris Hani was a popular leader and loved by millions of people who were part of the struggle for freedom. He was a man who had a vision, perhaps one of harmony and peace. We will never know. Had he lived I think he would have been elected the first black president of South Africa. I have reason to believe that his death was planned from within the high ranking officials of the African National Congress (ANC). Of course his killer Clive Derby Lewis was a staunch right winger and if he had not been arrested, I think he would have dragged South Africa into a civil war.

I am in the process of submitting another three articles for publication and these are a little more intense than the last few articles. I will post the links once they are available on the Guardian Liberty Voice.

Take care now and happy reading.
