SA Politics Part 14 - The New Dawn turns to Dusk

He must know he is guilty as hell, who tries to escape even before the trial starts?
Don't think he cared too much about the fraud stuff, or he wouldn't have been chilling in a strip club. Trafficking and statutory rape are far more serious offences, especially for a policeman who was trusted to protect us from exactly those offences...
 
I hope they throw every book at this vermin.
You see that's why seeing Masemola's lazy face triggers me so much, he was just sitting there, helpless as Sibiya does as he pleases, he even opted to go on leave to give Sibiya and Mchunu all the space they needed.

I don't care that his charges are dropped, a coward like him should be nowhere close to the leadership of SAPS, Ramaphosa should convince him to retire immediately.
 

Windbag Mbalula’s stupidity is emblematic of the ANC’s plunge into ignominy​


There is no starker demonstration of the ANC’s race to the bottom than the debacle over the registration of candidates for the 4 November local government elections, a mess that can be laid squarely at the door of Mbalula.

Here is a party that is one of a handful that have contested every election and almost every single by-election held since 1994, failing to perform the simple task of clicking on the “submit” button.

If there was any formation that should have the experience and machinery to do the menial task, never mind run an effective campaign, it is this party. The ANC chose the path of blunder, a move that will cost it several municipalities and affect the balance of power in others.

But it was the ANC’s response that showed why it has really become the punchline in a bad joke. It blamed the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) for its own failures and then went to court to fight a battle it was never going to win. The windbag at Luthuli, with whom the buck really stops, was blustering non-stop as he dishonestly pointed fingers at the IEC.

He was joined by President Cyril Ramaphosa, who foolishly echoed the windbag’s assertions. As everyone expected, the ANC was given a bloody nose by the courts this week, but still insists it “will exercise its legal rights and pursue the appropriate appeal process. Our legal representatives will engage the court on the legal questions arising from the judgment.”

What was priceless in the ANC’s response to the court judgment was this bit: “We call on all ANC members, leaders and supporters to remain calm and disciplined, and to refrain from public commentary that could prejudice or interfere with the ongoing legal process.”

Another scene playing out to the amusement of observers was the brawl between Mbalula and NEC member Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma. This flows from the latter’s public claim that Mbalula paid money to delegates at the 2022 ANC national
conference to secure his and Ramaphosa’s election to the party’s top jobs. Dlamini Zuma is now defending a lawsuit by Mbalula.

In her papers she claims that there were long queues at the conference clinic, with Mbalula dishing out cash to eager delegates. She has secured an affidavit from a recipient of the dosh, who is even willing to testify in court. This is an extraordinary development.

While vote buying at the ANC’s regional, provincial and national conferences is taken for granted, this is the first time that a party grandee is putting meat to the bone.

What is really funny about this is the image of Mbalula brazenly setting up a stall to dish out money, much like a construction foreman paying exploitation wages to his labourers. That is the level of sophistication of the ANC secretary-general.

There is a lot wrong with the ANC: corruption, incompetence, arrogance, a sense of impunity and disregard for communities. So the stupidity of its secretary-general should ordinarily be the least of our concerns. The issue though is that this stupidity is emblematic of the organisation’s descent.
 
Fokkit! When last did we have a police minister or commissioner who wasn't dodgy AF or a lame duck of note? No wonder the service is falling apart at the seams :mad:
Aside from George Fivaz & Sydney Mufamadi pre-2000, I don't think a single incumbent in the democratic era has left the office with an unblemished record.
Pretty much a "revolving door" of controversy after controversy leading directly to the current fskup that is law enforcement.
How useless have SA's presidents been that they have been unable to appoint a single qualified and honest candidate for these two essential positions in over 20 years?

We have to ask ourselves..."why would anyone continue to vote for the ANC?"

Yeah, she does prefer Joburg potholes, they have clean water in them, there is a very good reason she has never dunked herself in a Cape Town pothole in all the years she was Mayor and Premier, Cholera is nie pap en vleis.
