'Take Land from Whites by Force' - Cosatu

[Alan]

Hopefully, I just think Mandela, Mbeki et al. are infinitely more rational and competent than Zuma.

Well they seemed to get on well enough in the ANC together. So how different can they be.

Zuma is possibly not as skilled in the art of media manipulation and diplomacy but hey he has a good shout at becoming prez so maybe not.

Mandela changed his position didn't he.

The realities of the world that we live in today forced the ANC and Nats to strike a deal ... the IMF and World Bank don't deal with fools and were rather need them.

Zuma and his left wing Cosatu cronies if ever they can get the support they claim to have which I seriously doubt will be no different from the previous bunch.

We might have to buy a few more Mercs for his many wives but in the end the policies as dictated by the folks in New York won't change much.

If the US can survive Bush then I am surely we can survive Zuma ... we are made from sterner stuff .

Ek wil eintlik hê hulle moet probeer. Ons sal aftrek van Guateng af om te gaan help terug baklei !

'Land should be forcibly claimed in Hout Bay'

By Anél Powell

Cosatu provincial secretary Tony Ehrenreich says residents of Hout Bay's informal settlements must "stake their claims" and kick those living on "large farms" off their land.

At an election rally ahead of February municipal by-election, Ehrenreich said: "There is a need to take some of the land from the white communities and redistribute this to the townships that are going up in Hout Bay."

Ehrenreich told the Cape Times on Wednesday that, while informal residents should do what they could to acquire more land lawfully, they should also stake their claims for land from their neighbours, many of whom live on "huge farms".

The City of Cape Town and the provincial department of housing and local government met in 2006 about 16 hectares of government-owned land in Hout Bay that could be used for housing.

ANC regional secretary Mbulelo Ncedana said the party did not share Cosatu's position that land should be forcibly claimed in Hout Bay. "There are legal processes that must be followed."

But he agreed that the issue of the vacant 16ha had yet to be resolved.

Ehrenreich said the claims should not be seen as "land grabs", but as the equitable distribution of resources.

Vumile Ncedani, spokesperson for the housing department, said discussions with residents and the Hout Bay Ratepayers' Association were continuing.

Morris Nongabe of the South African Community Party in Hout Bay said all organisations needed to work together to find a solution to the issue.

That woman should be taken out and shot. My sympathies go out to the farmers. An accusation of rape is one of those things that stick with you regardless of whether or not you are proved innocent. Anyone who's willing to put innocent people through that kind of trauma should be dealt with without mercy!

I apologise for hijacking the thread with my last post. There is a separate thread that is more appropriate and I will post any future comments on the subject there.

Words of wisdom and I totally agree! Somehow not many took this point of view when JZ was acquited of rape! (sorry for sidetracking from the topic)

I AM NOT SORRY AS THE ORIGINAL THREAD WAS REMOVED BY THE MODS. WHY? Then we post and discuss it anywhere we want! Luckily they did not yet remove the other thread. There seem to be some spooking mod doing his own thing according to his own agenda. No reasons were given.
