South Africa Power Starts to Corrupt

In South Africa, the ruling African National Party (ANC) competes for power and money, and has lost sight of the purpose of democratic governance. Ordinary members lose sight of the real objective and place leaders on pedestals. Every political party is useful to the system, but useless to the people. In politics, numbers do count and vote-rigging and buying is the dominant method of grabbing power.

South Africa no longer needs a leader who giggles, sings and dances to the masses while continuing to corrupt the system. It is seriously time for a new leader who is not eager for self-enrichment and is an active negotiator. Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa has a history of resolving conflicts, yet the mistrust and deficit he has created has rendered Ramaphosa a lame duck, and a person to jump to the whims of the old ANC exiled members. Ramaphosa is a person that will follow the wind in whichever way needed to advance his own self-interest, and is like a chameleon – one moment a socialist; next a ruthless capitalist or a populist Marxist.

Whatever vision Ramaphosa has for the ANC and South Africa, there will be contention and attempts to fill the coffers with money. In doing so, the deputy president will secure the highest position in the land, and appease the powerful people in the ANC who have a vested interest in the prevailing culture. There is no need for a transformational president who might upset the high political stakes the ANC have implemented.

The problem of the ANC government goes back to the policies whereby the liberation movement sought to address the question of apartheid without also finding a way to deal with capitalism and the exploitation of cheap black labor. Today, the manipulation of the poor remains a critical problem. The ANC have not addressed the issues of poverty and corruption at the grass-root levels.

The ANC is rotten to the core, and the chaos the ruling party is in today has been generated from greed. The ANC has been on a long path of purging anybody with integrity since the 1980s. The ANC is perhaps regretting the constitutional checks and balances that limit their ability to run amok. Bereft of almost all leadership capacity, they are unable to turn the party from its ruinous obsession with corrupted wealth accumulation. The ANC is weaker; confused and obsessed with race; corrupt; and impervious to criticism.

South Africa is a corrupt country, and the entire political body is riddled with it. South Africa is in the middle of a corruption gridlock in which many people in high positions hold secrets of dirty deals on each other and dare not blow the whistle for fear of having it blown on them.  The president of the country, Jacob Zuma, has managed to elude the justice system and has been cleared of major corruption charges. Therefore, how can Zuma crack down on corruption running amok throughout the land?

ANC members compete for access to state resources and have become part of the bling culture. The willingness of the leadership to go along with the traveling circus of looters is rewarded through the use of shortcuts to get rich quickly. The new lifestyle is the standard for achievement, as it depicts the overcoming of the shackles of apartheid. However, the flashy lifestyle among the elite has increased the poverty of the masses in South Africa.

The ANC has lost its soul, and is singularly lacking in any competent leadership. Does the ANC have the values, ability and commitment required to transform the thoroughly corrupt party into a champion democratic party? For years, the ANC has responded with its intention to fight corruption, wasteful expenditure, and failed audits, but has not shown any conclusive victory in combating the corrupt system.

What South Africans are saying - VIDEO - continued

An old video of the KommandoKorp (a group of Afrikaans people, who train youngsters to defend themselves against possible attacks) recently appeared on Social Media; There are some classic comments from mainly the majority.

Racial hatred is alive and well in South Africa, and every year grows deeper and more hurtful. The artificial rainbow was never meant to become a peaceful reconciliation of different races. There are Zulus, Afrikaners, English, Vendas, Indians, Colored and a host of other black cultures that will never attempt to live peacefully as a mixed nation.

In fact, the majority of people in South Africa hate the white race and each passing day is a greater challenge for the minority to stay alive, in this beautiful country.  The quality of life for the minority changes daily. Whites are forcefully excluded from the workplace, due to the government's affirmative action plans.  The arrogance coupled with hatred is a dangerous combination. No wonder South Africa is classified as a dangerous place to live.

The perception that all white people are rich and have loads of money is utter rubbish. There are new white squatter camps springing up around the country each year. The plan of the government to exclude whites from the workplace is working in their favor, thereby eliminating the white race from receiving any income and subjecting them to hopeless poverty.

The follow video comments to the video clearly depict the hatred of white people.

(The Comments are not edited, tells me there is a lot to learn)

And then somebody asked the following

Why do we have to blame whites on everything that is going wrong

Replies to this question –

• Because they layered a foundation for the current state of affairs, they devalued the blacks
• Stop explaining yourself. If they don't get it by now then that's their problem. Not ours .

Peggy's Story

I have finished another short story for you to read.  Please note, this is not suitable for children, contains adult content, the story is based on a true-life drama.

Peggy’s Story

            Peggy with flowing golden locks and big blue eyes was the drama queen of the family who loved life. It was fantastic, to be alive during the 1980's. Her brothers had moved out, and her parents doted on their only daughter. Peggy was outgoing with a bubbly personality and they gave her their unconditional love and support throughout her life. It was year-end holidays, and after finishing her school term, she managed to find a holiday job while she waited to return to university to study law.

            She had a summer job, at one of the clothing stores in the center of town. The city a crowded place and with the buses running on time it was easy access for her to get to and from work. It was Friday, and she left the store a few minutes after five o'clock. Peggy had plans to meet two of her girlfriends for coffee before going home.

            She went into the bright colored café two blocks away from the bus stop and looked around for her friends. Yes, they were there, seated near the back and drinking a soft drink. She walked over to them and greeted her friends. Sitting down the girls soon babbled on about their holidays. Feeling a tad jealous for not being able to enjoy the benefits of summer because of her job, she promised them she would spend the whole of Sunday with them. They had coffee and muffins and chatted for hours. Peggy looked at her watch and realized it was late and that the last bus would be leaving in fifteen minutes. She took out some money left it on the table and said goodbye to her friends.

            The sun disappeared and the twilight of nightfall emerged. Pegged walked briskly toward the bus terminus, and saw a white car stop with a rather dashing fellow inside, he asked her if she wanted a lift, she ignored him and continued walking. At the bus terminus, she was alone while waiting for the bus to come by. She looked around and noticed a few cars parked in the street behind her and darned few people around at that time.

            Then she felt the cold steel jab her side and a hand covered her mouth.

            "I have a gun pointed at you and don’t try make a sound, come with me." A rugged broken English voice said.

            Shocked into silence, she proceeded with this man as he escorted her to his car. He opened the door and shoved her in. As he moved to walk to the driver's side, she tried to make a dash, but he was too fast and locked the door. He held onto the gun, started the engine of the car, and moved slowly down the dark road. Turning down a dark, desolate road, he drove along; going around in circles and up and down different roads and Peggy knew he was doing this to confuse her. She was right, but not stupid, he ventured into in a quiet suburb not too far from the city center, and Peggy did not recognize this part of town and wondered what her fate would be. He drove down a dark garage parking and stopped the car. It was dimly lit, and he got out of the car, closed the door and walked to her side of the car. He opened up and told her he would not hesitate to shoot if she made a sound. She was petrified and obediently obeyed him and climbed out of the car. Holding onto her arm, they waited in the dark garage for the elevator. It stopped, and the automatic doors opened up, and he pushed her inside, there was a mirror on one side and Peggy had a proper look at her abductor. A dark haired man, close to forty with an overgrown mustache and dark brown eyes, which seemed to squint more inwards. He was dressed in beige flannel pants and a white shirt half-unbuttoned, exposing his tanned hairy chest.

The elevator stopped on the fifth level, she saw as the doors opened. He pushed her out, holding onto her tightly, and escorted her down a well light passage. They paused outside apartment number seventy-five and with his free hand fumbled for keys in his pockets. It was dark, inside, and he did not bother to put a light on. Peggy felt the steel metal of the gun barrel against her face as he moved her toward a large bed. He put on the lamp, and she noticed it was a bachelor apartment with nothing more than a double bed and a small table. The smell of moldy air and body odor filled the small flat. Barely able to breathe she knew her life would end that night. He pulled his pants down to reveal a grossly oversized penis ready for action.

"Please don’t," she begged, He smirked and he slapped her across the face.

He pulled her short mini dress up, ripped her nylon stocking off her, and mounted her. In total disgust, she screamed as he penetrated her. He was heavy and smelled of stale smoke and brandy. She tried to hit him and he held onto her arms tightly, spitting in her face calling her a white whore. She felt a rush of warm semen enter her body and felt the vomit come into her mouth. She opened her mouth emitting the flow of muffin and old coffee, down her neck and onto his hands the flow of vomit ran. He slapped her again and got off her.

            Disgusted that she had vomited during his sexual performance, he pointed the gun at her and said would kill her.

            "Please don’t, I will just go, and you won’t see me again." She pleaded.

            "Do you think I am stupid," He angrily shouted at her.

            He grabbed a bottle of brandy and forced her to drink from it, almost choking from the strong taste she managed to swallow some. He wanted her drunk, and she fought with all her might not to drink the vile tasting brandy. Then like a light bulb going on, her mind told her to pretend to be drunk and get out of this place. She was a fighter and survivor, she could do this, she told herself.

Keeping Racial Hatred Alive

The video that is once again inciting racial hatred.

Keeping racial hatred alive is the new trend in South Africa. An old video filmed in June 2014, depicting dog handlers training dogs with illegal immigrants is cruelty at its best. This video is current resurfacing on social media and creating a new wave of hatred toward the minority white population. It appears that some people strive on exploiting the volatile racial tension by digging into archives and releasing horrific stories in an attempt to expand hatred and infuse unnecessary violence. 

However much I may hate the actions performed by the culprits in the video it will not matter to the majority that it was a handful of people and not all the white citizens who behave in such an atrocious way.  The majority see one incident of bad white behavior and suddenly all whites are equated as cruel and merciless.

There are respect and reconciliation attempts between the different cultures yet there is also the small element of people hell-bent on ruining any chance of understanding between the various cultures.

Here is the video posted on Youtube over a year ago. If you have some time, read the comments to this video.

South Africa Julius Malema Remains Adamant

During a parliament sitting, Julius Malema, the leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters party (EFF), was removed from Parliament for refusing to retract a statement regarding the Marikana deaths. Malema said that deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa was a murderer and conspired with the African National Congress (ANC) elite to kill innocent people in the Marikana tragedy.

The incident at Marikana had caused many people to shed tears for the beloved brothers and sisters who died when the police opened fired and killed 34 miners. At that time, Ramaphosa was a major shareholder in the Lonmin mining company, and the EFF supporters are among others that believe the order to kill came from Ramaphosa.

Having Malema removed from parliament are signs of dictatorship from the ruling ANC. Malema was not a threat to security and the statement made was not intentionally insulting but rather an expression of freedom of speech. Malema raised the Marikana issue in an attempt to kick off a debate and find the truth.

The ANC responded to the political speech with security, and as Malema was not posing a security threat to parliament, this is an abuse of state power. The new parliamentary rules  of South Africa are designed to bring order to the house, and it is apparent that the ANC and State are fused in these instances. There are rules everywhere and respect for the Constitution was blown into chaos. Malema apparently does not accept the finding of the commission of enquiry that investigated the Marikana killings.

The EFF are recognized for being forceful during parliamentary sessions and of engaging vigorously in a debate which is not the solution to resolving problems. Pointing fingers at leaders and name calling is disrespecting parliamentary codes of ethics. Freedom of speech does have limits, and there is a difference between saying someone is something versus accusing someone of something unless the person has previously been found guilty. Arrogance and stupidly do not mix well.

The ANC party does not like to be challenged and have run out of ideas. Instead of starting a debate, the ruling party resorts to violence. The EFF party is a real threat to the ANC powerhouse. The EFF party is a relatively new party and has grown in membership quite substantially over the past few years, causing the ruling party to lose support among South Africa voters.

Malema knows what the loyal supporters of the EFF party want to hear, and no doubt was using the Marikana incident to appeal to the South African public. It is rather unfortunate that the deceit is not apparent to the supports. Malema, the messenger of the EFF, was removed, however, the message delivered during the open question and answer session in parliament cannot be deleted. The way Malema was removed is similar to the way the Marikana miners were killed. It is all a strategy to implement dictatorship by turning South Africa into a military state. Floyd Shivambu, the Chief Whip of the EFF, said the removal of Malema was disgusting and inappropriate.

Sadly enough, black lives are just as cheap under the ANC as they were under the old South Africa apartheid system. The only thing that has changed is the skin colour of the oppressors. The ANC are insecure and sensitive to the real issues affecting the people of South Africa. The strategy of the ANC is to silence any critics while disruption and unproven accusations are the strategies of the EFF.
