Don't shoot with your eyes closed aim at the right target



The Zuma Must Fall campaign is underway, and thousands have signed a petition call for the president to resign. The recent sacking of the finance minister caused the country to tail dive into a fury of despair. Many white people have supported the fall of Zuma and will join the organizers in a march later this week. There will be many black people who will participate. However, millions of blacks do not consider joining the #fall campaign because of racial hatred.
Blacks do not want to attend the Zuma must fall event because white people will be attending. The event is an opportunity to show support for the country, the economy and good governance, and the millions of blacks who would rather stand back and let the country plunge into disaster.

The African National Congress elaborate on the Freedom Charter, who says South Africa, belongs to who live in it and the “Zuma must fall” campaign is not a matter of black or white but a call to change the situation of the country.

Blacks are asking who will benefit if Zuma is no longer the president. In all their stupidity, they cannot see the harm Zuma has caused, and say that only whites will benefit and as there are more than 43 million blacks in the country, the false lies spread by a few, helps to keep the man in power. With rumors being spread, blacks are once again placed into a blind situation, of allowing a few people who have deep unresolved hate issues to manipulate the masses.

Although there are many sensible, intelligent black people who see the damage caused by having a president who places his family and friends first, agree the man must go. It is this handful of individuals who have enough common sense to realize, it is not only whites that might benefit, (although I am not sure how) but the majority might have an opportunity to turn the damage caused in the past, into a more sustainable future. 
The march is all about an economic concern, it is not about who will benefit, and while the majority live in poverty, this could have a significant impact on their future. Racism is spewed into every action and it is always a few manipulating the masses into believing that only whites have security, only whites will benefit. To live with such a fear destroys the chance of achieving peace. 

Many believe that the campaign calling for the removal of Zuma is an orchestration of a total collapse of the economy, that in my opinion does not make sense, the call is to promote a president who will holds the interests of the country at heart.  Zuma does not deserve to lead the country and has failed big time. Supporting the campaign is all about unity.

Whatever happens in South Africa, racism rears its ugly head. The divide among cultural groups grows deeper each year and with a president who shows no consideration towards the majority the #fall campaign should be an event attended by the majority. The majority need to open their eyes and see the state of affairs in South Africa.

Judging all races leads to the wrong direction and holding onto the concept that nothing has changed in the last 21 years is wrong.  Who will see the light? The majority believe #Zuma must fall equals #blacks must fall.

  1. I don’t think so. There is growing agreement among all that Zuma is an embarrassment as much to the ANC as to anyone else. Why do you think the SABC has ordered radio DJs not to mention #ZumaMustFall? https://www.change.org/p/thuli-madonsela-zuma-needs-to-step-down-government-in-sa-needs-to-change-before-its-too-late/u/14583466 Let’s see who shows up for the march on 16 December. Maybe he will unite the country as no one has done since Madiba put on a springbok jersey :)
