ANCYL wants to name Amanzimtoti after a terrorist

[goFLY]

The ANCYL isn't content with just renaming the main road "Andrew Zondo Road". Now they want to rename Amanzimtoti to "Zondo" after the terrorist that planted a bomb and killed 5 people in a Toti shopping centre in 1985. WTF is wrong with these people!

It is so clear to me where this country is headed, these racist idiots don't WANT reconciliation. If you're planning on staying in this country, expect more of this and much worse. I'm not particularly religious, but God help the people that can't or won't leave this country. -rant over-

First it was Kingsway, and then a school. Now the ANC Youth League wants to rename the whole of Amanzimtoti after bomber Andrew Zondo.

The call is likely to cause further outrage among residents who already regard the decision by the eThekwini Municipality to rename Kingsway after Zondo as being against the spirit of reconciliation. Further uproar was caused by a decision to rename a primary school in iLovu after Zondo.

Zondo, an ANC activist, was convicted and hanged for a bombing at the Sanlam Centre in December 1985 which killed five people.

The ANC said although it had not received the youth league's proposal, it would welcome it, because it felt Zondo had still not been given the official recognition he deserved.


Opposition parties, however, said they were not surprised by the league's latest move, because it was continuing the provocative trend set by leader Julius Malema.

The word Amanzimtoti is far from being colonial. Legend has it that when Zulu King Shaka tasted the waters of the area during a visit to the town, he remarked "kanti amanz' amtoti", meaning the water is sweet, thus originating the name Amanzimtoti.

ANCYL provincial chairperson Mxolisi Kaunda said they would make their request as part of the third phase of eThekwini's controversial renaming process.

The second phase, which is due to resume in the next three months, will deal with renaming buildings and other streets left out during the first phase.

"Zondo deserves a much bigger honour. We believe that the only way to do this is to name the whole town of Amanzimtoti after him," said Kaunda.

Kaunda said the youth league would push for this decision.

The youth league are just stirring and trying to cause divisions in this country and they must be stopped.

They're undoing whatever progress people like Mandela made.

That's exactly what I think. They're inciting racial hatred and I don't think they'll ever stop. This is only going to get worse until they get the "revolution" they desire so much.

welcome to the republic of zondo. please enjoy your stay.

I am so going to strap a bomb to the new shopping centre and then they have to name a town after me!

How may I ask? Perhaps condemnation from madiba? Don't count on it

I don't see them undoing the arms deal? The murder rate has gone down which more progress than Mandela ever achieved there

That's exactly what I think. They're inciting racial hatred and I don't think they'll ever stop. This is only going to get worse until they get the "revolution" they desire so much.

The revolution the ANC was fighter for all along. They're just sitting back letting the ANCYL take all the blame for it.

Disband the ANCYL!!!!!

 

[gregmcc]

Thought they were going to name the road bin laden!

alanf : I am not saying Mandela was a god or anything of the sort, but he did bring some kind of unity to this country or at least helped start it...

As for stopping them... I have an easy solution, arrest them when they open their mouths pretty much, but I know its never that easy or simple... the ANC themselves need to stop the youth league, but I know they won't since the YL are probably doing the NECs bidding.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Disband the ANCYL!!!!!

Agreed. ANCYL make a mockery of this country.

 

[Pilgrim]

I must admit, a while ago I did not even know or care to know that the ANCYL existed. Now everybody in this country knows about them and follow what they are doing.

Coming up with stupid ideas got these idiots noticed. Now they are getting the attention they wanted. They will simply keep pushing out stupid ideas until people learn to ignore them.

I used to live in 'Toti. i walked past the scene just hours after it happened. There were big pools of blood and shards of glass everywhere. Anyone who wants to name anything after someone who caused such destruction and pain to human lives deserves to be blown up themselves...

The ANC thinks it's a fantastic idea, and who are we as mere mortals to oppose the gods of the ANC?

Me=ant "I oppose this name change"
You=ant "I also oppose this name change"

ANC=elephant "HAHAHAHAHAHA I am god! I will do WHATEVER I WANT. If you don't like it leave (whisper-I actually want you to leave hehehe-)

Disband the ANCYL!!!!!

Hey man,

I mean no disrespect and I understand your statement as a feeling of frustration, but seriously, WHO is going to disband that big-a$$ circus? The ANC themselves? Like they did the Scorpions?

Seriously, as a South African you currently have two options:

1. Choose to look the other way and simply ignore all the serious bullsh1t going on here and continue living in your little cocoon.
2. Try and get the hell out of the country for good.

No matter what you or I or anybody says, and no matter HOW outraged we are, things are NOT going to change. The damn a$$-clowns in charge of this godforsaken place will do all they can ON PURPOSE to pi$$ off everybody in this country who doesn't agree with them. The will ALWAYS keep on reminding everybody about the injustices of the past and how they suffered, and how they deserve this and deserve that, and how they demand this and demand that. This WILL NOT CHANGE for 10 years, 50 years... hell, even a hundred years from now. These clowns might only realise that they perhaps, maybe just ever so slightly, approached the situation incorrectly when the day comes that this country burns.

No matter how positive you are, or peppy, or chirpy, or bubbly (choose your own little "fun" word here): fact is, SA is a circus ruled by clowns, and Bozo is always AWOL busy entertaining... erm... "mediating", at some other circus.

This was not directed at you. Just wanted to say that no amount of outrage will help, because the clowns are basically deaf by choice.

Something wrong with your mentality? Or do you support the ANC overlords and their minions (ANCYL)? The writing is against the wall.

Unfortunately the popular support backs the ANCYL and co. The only way to stop it is too discredit the ANCYL in the eyes of the majority. The other ANC block of MBeki and co have themselves lost all credibility when they pillaged the country to full their back pockets at the expense of the majority who still live in poverty. Needless to say they're not particularly concerned about the countries future just the fact they'll lose power and privilege. The DA can't do anything because they're a 'white' party.

There's only a hand full of old ANC members who have the credibility left with the majority to undermine the ANCYL and co. But like I said don't count on them opening their mouths any time soon.
