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.

Stop blaming white people

South Africa is on the brink of a national disaster. The president has caused a commotion by sacking the finance minister and appointing a dodgy ex-mayor to take control of the finances. Reckless and dangerous but that is not the only major problem.  Racism, crime, corruption, failing infrastructure, education, medical assistance are some of the pressing problems South Africans have to deal with daily. 

Nelson Mandela believed in unity and thought the country would become a rainbow nation, with all cultures living side by side, in harmony and peace. It was a dream and although during his term of office there was a small hope that reconciliation, forgiveness and unity would prevail, it has progressed into a living nightmare for the ordinary citizens of South Africa.

Black people love to blame the white people for all their failures and although apartheid was abolished, the majority has not tried to change their mindset and grasp the idea that there are freedom, democracy and the ability to create an full future.

Whites are not to blame for the failures of blacks, the majority should know when to blame and when not to. Many blacks are the primary cause of their suffering. Valuing useless things. Alcohol, although the white man might have produced the drink, the white man does not force anybody to drink it. If they stopped sitting around in taverns getting drunk and spent time reading, there might be a change.

The same applies to drugs; it is matters of choice, instead of being hooked, teach the children about the dangers, and find alternative entertainment. 

Sex is a personal subject, but the blacks love to impregnate others at an early age, adding to the problems, adding to poverty, all because, it is a matter of boasting who scores the most. How stupid, get educated.

Spending the hard-earned cash on useless possessions and suffering the next day, because the cash is gone. Plan and use the money wisely, learn to budget. Most will spend their bonuses and leave pay on alcohol and parties, without giving a thought to their children’s needs, schooling, clothing, and books. It is not the white man’s fault.

Blacks need to stop spreading vicious nonsense about illegal immigrants from neighboring countries and allowing these people to prosper by supporting their small business. To stop standing around the Somalian tuck shops because there is nothing else to do. Go start your own business. If the Somalians irritate you, it is because you allowed this to escalate into a fierce jealousy. The white man is not to blame for the high volume of foreigners; it is your government, live and learn.

Accept who you are and stop trying to be white. Your hair is naturally frizzy, why on earth do you need to straighten and add extensions, it all costs money. Using skin-lightening creams. Are you unhappy with the way you are born? The white man is not the cause of black people wasting money on insignificant items.

 

Stop living an illusion you are who you are. A Louis Vuitton outfit will not make you a better person. Whom are you trying to impress? Stop being envious and start making it happen.

So then, are the white people to blame for the lack of knowledge, when education is almost free? Is the white man to blame for the illegal immigrants, or the alcohol, drugs and partying? No, the white man is not to blame for the misery black people have; it is all a matter of choice.

The white man worked hard, studied, built a solid foundation, and made provision for the next generation. The black man slumbers live in filth and does not care about tomorrow. That is the difference, it is all about educating the majority and then perhaps the rainbow nation can exist in harmony.

In my opinion, laziness is the biggest problem coupled with the entitlement mindset.

Who comes first - the ANC or the Zuma Family

Axed finance minister, Nhlanhla Nene is an African National Congress (ANC) Member and a former MK cadre, but most important is that Nene was a gatekeeper to the looting and as finance minister responsible for the country’s finances. 

Nene stopped the finance for SAA and Zuma’s “friend” Dudu. The money bailout was madness, and Nene had every right to say NO. Next on the Zuma attack list is Cyril Ramaphosa, and anybody who defies the man on his own mission.

Dudu, an astute business woman who will oil the wheels for a tender deal to move faster and run to protector Zuma when people try and stop the nonsense. Zuma said the ANC comes first, not the country. It is no longer so, it is Zuma and friends first, and then the ANC and who cares about the country.

ANC have two types of supporters, the intellectually vulnerable and those on the gravy train. The gravy train is so heavy there is no room left. The unemployment figures rise annually, corruption and crime are uncontrollable. The government is raiding the taxes, and the economy is at a critical point, evolving into a situation that will lead to irreversible development.

The sacking of Nene demonstrated that Zuma does not care about the common good, but only about his survival. Zuma is really nothing, yet just as ambitious as the people who need favors and who return favors to him. It is no longer relevant to connect to the smaller serious people like Shaik Shabeer; Zuma now hobnobs with the Guptas, who will sink the country through sheer greed.

Zuma has betrayed his oath of office and if the ANC does not stop him, the country must.

Claus Tlhapane said:

I wonder if people who say Zuma was within his Constitutional right to suddenly remove Nhlanhla Nene as finance minister has bothered to read Section 83 (c) of the same Constitution. That Section says, "The President - Promotes. . . That which advances the republic."

Now, are these people saying waiting for the markets to close and using your Constitutional prerogative to take an action that sends the republic's markets on a tailspin, decimating the value of the Rand and the banks and in the process destroying the wealth of citizens who own shares in banks is just fine?
