Zuma has too much power and no strategic leadership skills

President Zuma is known for not having strategic leadership skills and being an exemplar of good governance. 
By taking control of the state-owned companies, Zuma has appointed himself as the Minister of Finance, and Minister of public enterprises. The state-controlled entities are in financial trouble and used as a source of income for the ANC movement and friends. The state-controlled companies will be handed over to loyal cronies who will inevitably take instructions from Saxonwold. The top seven state owned enterprises Zuma will control is, Eskom, SAA, Transnet, Denel, SABC, PRASA, and Sanral.

The Treasury is not in favor of throwing away good money after bad. The Minister of Finance is set against the Gupta – Eskom deal and throwing more money into the SAA. There is the PRASA situation and the millions that have been stolen.

The action against Pravin Gordhan is a move to empower Zuma and his allies, to take control of the treasury and give another bailout to the failing SAA. There are reports that Gordhan is not in favor of signing another guarantee of five billion rands for the failed SAA. Another guarantee Zuma wants is the one trillion rand for the nuclear project is perhaps the reason to have Gordhan removed from office.

It is no surprise to South Africans that Zuma’s corruption and connections to the wealthy Gupta family have created dangerous paths for the president. The pending 783 corruption charges against Zuma are not over, and the exposure of self-enrichment through the Gupta family is very different from the reality of state capture.

Would it be a mistake to state that if President Zuma had put his foot down and insisted on services there would be much more contentment in the civil society? Would the ANC have been seen more as the champion of the people? Would Nkandla have become such a big issue? If there was service delivery on a large scale would people have forgiven him for Nkandla or even if he had built 10 Nkandla’s?

All Zuma’s indiscretions are because his enemies had set traps for him, and continue to do so because he gives his enemies the opportunity to capitalize on such? The lack of discipline in the South African society needs to be checked. Can President Zuma finally show us that he is the man who can take care of such or will he continue to be led by his nose through his Intelligence services, which had been severely compromised or else by people such as the “brave” General Officer Commanding of the SA Special Forces?

There are over 50 million people living in the country and most are illiterate who support Zuma and the ANC. The voters who keep the ANC in power in exchange for grants, not job creation. What would happen to the shrinking tax base that supports the ANC?

The more unpopular Zuma and the ANC become, the more desperate the party appears. It is also when the party and the president become dangerous; it’s a time of fighting for survival.

Should Zuma resign or be forced out of office, the next question to ask is who would the ANC replace the president with? It could be somebody far worse than Zuma.

Horrific act of cruelty a man throws dog off a building - VIDEO

An horrific act of cruelty when a man with no compassion for animals throws a dog off a building. In the video, the man holds the dog, who is obviously petrified and then throws the dog off the building. The dog experienced a painful death.

It is absolutely shocking knowing there are people who can be cruel toward animals that have no means of defending themselves against violence.

Zuma wants the crown jewels

In February this year, the Congress of the People (COPE), a political party of South Africa, issued a statement condemning President Jacob Zuma’s intentions to capture SARS and treasury. COPE calls Zuma a desperate individual who believes Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan is standing in his way. 
Zuma has strategically placed his people in all the relevant departments and the crown jewel would be capturing SARS and Treasury. Gordhan will need to use all the resources he has to prevent the Zuma conquest becoming a reality. Unfortunately, Pravin Gordhan stands surrounded by hostile foes.

Zuma is hell bent on getting Des van Rooyen to head the finance ministry. Zuma believes that Van Rooyen is the most highly qualified man for the job. Yes, Van Rooyen is needed by Zuma to serve his own interest and that of friends.

In relation to the SARS Secret Unit, it has been published in the local media that these operatives had as aim to steal businesses on behalf of their family or for themselves. There is massive interaction between the NPA and SARS. The NPA has been identified as being one of the most corrupt institutions in the country. The upshot hereof is that the legal system is a mess in South Africa. The Judges seem to be playing games, these days it would appear that the situation is that one is guilty until proven innocent.

South Africa has been hijacked by criminals and they lurk all over the place. Hidden away in government departments, public offices, and private enterprises. Whether these criminals are white or black, pink, or blue are immaterial, criminals they all are. The biggest offender of all is President Jacob Zuma. While the whole world is under the impression that he is laughing, those who know says that his chuckle is a way of masking his fury. He is at his utmost dangerous mood when he starts to giggle. If that is so, then it means that South Africa has much more problems than even contemplated.

Get rid of Zuma and ANC clowns

The “get rid of Zuma & ANC clowns” is a mainstream movement that has gained significant support within our majority – and momentum has just started.
Over the next year the majority will rise up and reject the ANC of “today” for undermining our future – the willful erosion of our future has occurred economically, through educational-focus neglect, and brainwashing of the majority poor into believing that the ANC enigma is their “savior”, whilst they deflect blame and make excuses, year after year after year after year.

Mr. ANC, HOW FAR FROM THE TRUTH YOU ARE.

The premise that blacks should allow an ANC elite bourgeois to rule us like despots, and drain away millions while our people starve, is inexcusable.

The premise that blacks, looking forward, should blame our minority wealth-holders for impeding our progress is a direct affront to Africanism, black consciousness, and our emancipation as a majority population.

The premise that our uneducated ANC fattened rulers can define which of us are “African” or “Black” is unacceptable – ring ring, hello who is there, Apartheid who????
The premise of new identification system that discriminates and divides us – ring ring, hello who is there, Apartheid who?

The clear neglect of our electricity grid, water services, and good stewardship of ‘our country’ has become an insult to our ancestors and a curse to the very essence of our consciousness as Africans.
The ‘deals of betrayal’ with China serve to undermine our very souls as we sell the futures of our children to new colonialists – shame on us blacks for letting the party we voted for rape us in this way. Yes, I blame my people, for tribal-like-loyalty to crooked thieves so easily hypnotizes us.
Clearly, we are awakening, and it is now time for the real Renaissance, one that is viewed through lenses of sober clarity, and infused with straight up perspective.

Clearly, our tainted ANC-elect needs to be taught a lesson.

Clearly, we need act on this soon, whilst showing those around us #Respect, so that we may emerge as the leaders of #NewAfrika!

The ANC a destructive minority elite – a dark cloud over South Africa

The basic tenet of black consciousness is that the black man must reject all value systems that diminish him and reduce his basic human dignity, especially when dark forces emanate from the political systems in power.
There has been an awakening felt by millions of blacks in South Africa. Until recently, it was not fully understood that the enemy was from within. 
For most black people, the definition of progress has been advancing their education, their standard of living, and access to services and other freedoms. This has been partially achieved over the last twenty years, but recent progress has stagnated, and in many instances reversed.

With our black people’s over-eagerness to achieve their freedom and dignity, dark forces were born.
The minority elite ANC government became drunk with power – their priorities became focused on stealing and creating wealth for themselves, instead of worrying about the millions of people who desperately needed them.

Out of this evolved South Africa’s version of the house Negro – yes, the corrupt ANC parliament members have housed Negroes, succumbing to their new master of material greed and debauchery, turning their backs against their own people. All whilst constructing the perception that they are still the good shepherd.

The definition of progress mutated and became defined by how many people could be brainwashed to be part of the political order. Blacks were drafted into the ANC College and inducted into the black social order to be used as a bourgeois buffer zone in the mass deception created to numb the masses of black people.

The black masses were “dumbed down” and kept compliant while the ANC criminals and their bourgeois sinfully redirected and “consumed” the money and privileges that were promised for restoring the black man’s dignity.

Black people were encouraged to abandon their religion and convert to that of the bourgeois oppressors.

The cracks are now gaping holes, and common people see the ANC-laced bourgeois for what they really are – Thieves.

Our people have the clarity they were looking for. They are strong and now are awakened in the most positive call to be heard from the black world in a long time.

For those still being oppressed by the dark ANC-laced bourgeois forces, it is a peculiar sensation – this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at oneself through the eyes of others…one feels a strange twoness – two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings, and two warring ideals in one dark body.

We must use our dogged strength to tear the destructive ANC influence out so that our true consciousness can be purified.

This raised level of consciousness is no longer relegated to a race, culture, or creed, it is now a collective consciousness that has united all South Africans, and all those who share a common outrage at the deception pulled over our eyes by the minority-black-ANC-elite for so many years.
The false system forced on us by the ANC bourgeois has become our new oppressor.

This is a call to all South Africans to purify your consciousness, open your eyes, and let those dark forces know that they have stolen our dignity, and for that, they will pay.

A unified South Africa will bring the fall of the criminals in government who have stolen and lied to us, and allowed our country to deteriorate unashamedly.
