ANCYL and DA vs SACP

[Sting]

Fun and games in SA politics, especially when two very diverse opponents have a single "enemy"!!!

The saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" ALMOST comes to mind... but that will not happen here!

For some time the ANCYL has been having a full go at the SACP and especially it's general secretary, Blade Nzimande. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/Politics/ANCYL-slams-SACP-over-Malema-20100821

"Nzimande’s observations confirm the reports the ANCYL recurrently received that some of the wayward and ill-disciplined elements in the ANC Youth League are handled by the SACP," said Shivambu in a statement.

And yesterday the DA said: http://www.timeslive.co.za/local/ar...e-not-fit-to-be-higher-education-minister--DA

It says: "He should go and go now. He is a menace to freedom and democracy. He is not an education minister serving the nation but rather a commissar throwing his weight around."

The DA says it's "something of a political obscenity that a minister responsible for higher education supports the gagging of the media.

"Dr Blade Nzimande’s support for the idea of a media tribunal is as authoritarian as is his instruction to universities to teach courses in support of the ANC’s so-called “developmental state”."

"It has not dawned on this humorless paragon of higher education that his job is to support and encourage the education of students to explore ideas wherever they may lead rather than to genuflect to the soulless and dull propaganda of the politically correct."

Let the fun and games continue!
