Govt's 'my time to eat' attitude is arrogant - Barbara Hogan calls out ANC, honours Kathrada

[rvZA]

While honouring the legacy of anti-apartheid activist Ahmed Kathrada on Sunday, former minister Barbara Hogan took aim at the government, saying it was dominated by greed and people who believed "it was their time to eat".

Hogan spoke on Sunday at the launch of the Ahmed Kathrada exhibition at Constitutional Hill in Johannesburg.

Kathrada would have turned 93 on Sunday. He was critical of the ANC during the last few years of his life.

While he believed the ANC was the best choice for South Africans, Kathrada had called for former president Jacob Zuma to resign.

The critical legacy of Kathrada was continued by the key note speakers on Sunday.

Hogan, Kathrada's wife, told the audience the ANC government was supported by everyone when it took power in 1994.

But, she said, the party was no longer a liberation movement - and had become dominated by members who believed they were entitled to enrichment.

Some hard luck with thinking there.. Why would anyone willingly give their comrades cANCer?

 

[R13...]

One of the most shocking statements was in the ANC ranks when Tony Yengeni said he did not struggle to be poor.

Hogan must try to know her comrades, that was Smuts Ngonyama (whatever happened to the comrade) not Yengeni.

The ANC can't do anything about the attitude because that is just the party they have become since the days of Mbeki when corruption ramped up with empowerment deals where you just needed to be a comrade (in influence of course) to get a chunk of free shares and sometimes board positions at multinationals falling over themselves to please the ruling party.

That's not the way to go about it, Helen Zille did not resign from the DA when Maimane was busy turning the party into an ANC lite version, she fought for what she believed in.

Yes, she won. Do you think Hogan is going to win in that disgrace of a political party? Does she have enough people backing her thinking and values? If so, why aren't they as vocal about the same issues considering the country is busy circling the toilet bowl.
