How so? Shivambu, Mngxitama and others in the leadership have masters degrees from Wits. The spokesperson lectures at Wits and he's doing his PHD.

I would be surprised if this continues for any significant length of time. May be wrong but they are just making a statement, and effectively so that the working class is 'really' there now.

That's all fair and well, however their red outfits will only get them so far. They are full of righteous ideas but bankrupt on policy and implementation. Also, you wont be hearing to much of them in parli, they just wont have a lot of time allotted to them to speak.
All the noise will be outside the house.

That is only true for debates which are ceremonial in any event, in committee meetings they will have sufficient space to speak their minds.

What has Malema got? He alone accounts for 49% of the 50% drop. :p

I remember a long time ago you could purchase your masters form P&P. I wonder!

I'm not sure about Floyd having a masters degree but I know he has an honours degree from Wits, and Mngxitama is well respected at Wits.

How much do you pay to be honored with a degree?

I'm not sure about his blog being succesful, but he sure writes well and he will make a good academic one day.

Yeah, stirling writing, especially when he wrote "I wouldn’t want to earn respect from white bitches ... so dream on" in an sms for which he was taken to the equity court.

Might answer some questions...
What does the Economic Freedom Front stand for? How do they propose to nationalise mines, banks and land? Is Julius Malema, founder of the EFF, equipped to legislate or to lead?
These tough questions are asked in The Coming Revolution.

Malema is tackled on his tax woes and on the tenderpreneur label by Janet Smith, executive editor of The Star. Smith asks Malema to explain, contextualise and motivate his political agenda and the genesis of the new party.

Hard-hitting and informative, The Coming Revolution disrupts the dominant South African political narrative.

Zuma will remain an MP for only a few hours before being formally elected president for a second term by members of the National Assembly.

Could someone explain this to me. I thought that the president remained an MP the entire time of parliament. Does he replaced in the National Assembly when he is president? If so, does this apply to ministers too?

Nope on being elected president by the National Assembly the President vacates his seat in Parliament and his party puts their next person in. In order to be elected President a person must be a member of the National Assembly and the President has a permanent presence in the NA with a right to speak in the assembly etc ...

From the convening of Parliament until the election of the President the hold over provisions of the Constitution apply so the incumbent holds the powers of the presidency while being temporarily an MP for a short period.
