hm, okay this is so soon after my ‘learn something new about jacob zuma so i can maybe see him as a person’ post but after the last few days (building on the last year) wow i just struggle with Julius Malema and maybe need to meet up with his mom or close friend or something because he… like really? REALLY? like… ghah!
i don’t understand why the ANC tolerate him – to be honest i am not the most aware in the sphere of politics – i try stay informed of the news and what’s happening daily around the country and worldwide but only really the basic headlines and such so there is a lot i don’t know
but with mal-enema (speling?) i just don’t get it – the latest one is him defending Jacob Zuma (just fathered illegitimate child shortly before his 5th? wedding) by saying that he is untouchable because he is our father – so by his reasoning Jacob Zuma could walk around with an axe killing babies and it would be okay because you can’t question him – the fact that he holds tightly onto the concept of anyone being ‘above the law’ is incredibly concerning
but shtupidt statement after stupid statement and then following it with actions – he was in three different stories on the radio news this morning and i just don’t get why he gets to stay where he is doing what he is doing – is he our next president? i thort there was no way Zuma would get in after all the allegations and court cases and so on, but the fact that he did tells me Julius could really be next
but then if you see his role models, maybe it’s understandable – iafrica.com reports:
“Why should a relationship between two adults be made an issue?” ANC spokesperson Jackson Mthembu asked in a statement. “Why should it make headlines? Why is it characterised by some media as a ‘Shame to the nation’?”.
“There is nothing wrong that the president has done. There is nothing ‘shameful’ when two adults have a relationship,” he said.

if that is the ‘moral’ standard being shown by the leader and ruling party of this country then the young people of this nation are in trouble – who will fight for the relationships in South Africa? who will be role models for young people and teach them what true love is all about? who will lift up the standard of marriage which is an incredible incredible thing when done properly and with the right person…
i’m in. pick me.

Dude I am totally with you! I am generally a “If you dont like someone you just need to get to know them better” kinda person. But Julius… Heard an interview on 5fm with him where he and Gareth Cliff chatted about Caster Semenya. Sometimes I think he just says anything to provoke people. No one can be THAT stupid as to actually mean the things that he says???
I believe that Malema is a political smokescreen for the ANC. The top brass at the ANC are not stupid; Malema is just useful. Consider the previous national elections – most of the minority parties charged at Malema and Zuma; while the ANC quietly focused on service delivery. Result: landslide victory.
Anyway, I’m hoping to have lunch with an old work colleague this weekend, who just happens to be an old MK cadre. I’ll ask a few questions and see if I can get you a better response.
