MALEMA DISRESPECTS SUSPENSION CONDITIONS





Julius Malema defies suspension
The suspended ANC Youth League president Julius Malema has reportedly addressed the congregation at a Good Friday church service in the Eastern Cape despite being barred from doing so according to his suspension conditions. In the address, Malema chastised the ‘individuals trying to silence him’.
Malema’s repeated unruly behaviour has reflected that he has no sense of discipline and I hope that the ANC’s national disciplinary committee will take extremely tough disciplinary measures against him. The NDC must not tolerate his disappointing actions anymore. What disappoints me the most is that what he says in every congregation he addresses, lacks political maturity and knowledge. That is the reason why I had totally respected the NDC’s move to gag him and temporary suspend him from exercising any duty as an ANC member, president of the ANCYL or member of the Limpopo provincial executive committee. I think that he truly needs to be ‘silenced’ so that he does not address any more nonsense to the public. Now that Malema has compromised the terms of the suspension, he needs to be shown no mercy.
The comments that he made about ANC President Jacob Zuma being a dictator and that he was suppressing the ANCYL makes me wonder if he thinks that he is in any way better than Zuma. Seriously speaking, Malema has in the past and up to now portrayed his weaknesses as a politician. He has indeed divided the ANC party and brought it into disrepute.

MAKONI RUBBISHES MUGABE'S ATTACK



Simba Makoni promises Mugabe 'rude awakening'

Simba Makoni (Former finance Minister and Mavambo Kusile Dawn leader) has rubbished President Robert Mugabe’s remarks that the MKD leader has no followers.Makoni promised the 88 year old Mugabe that he faces a rude awaking at the next elections.

I am really finding it hard to believe that Makoni might truly surprise Mugabe in the coming elections. Makoni’s claims are just empty promises that he will never be able to fulfill as he is most likely to face the same 2008 situation and embarrass himself again in the coming elections. I however understand that on his part, this might be an attempt to come into the limelight after a long time of silence.He is trying to gain the public attention and approval so that people do not disappoint him again as they did in the 2008 elections. Surely how can a candidate who got 8% of the possible votes in the last elections expect to win the next elections? What I think about Makoni at the moment is that  his lame promises will not uplift his political status but instead will make him appear more stupid and confused.Seriously speaking,at first I had believed the promises he made just before the 2008 elections when he said he had several Zanu PF bigwigs who would support him to his victory,in the end however I was disappointed  when only Dumiso Dabengwa and a few  people voted for him.I cannot deny that when I first heard his claims, I really thought that he will get  98% votes instead of the 8% he ended up getting.It then makes me wonder what will be different this time, it is high time he wakes up and face reality that he really has no followers before he is humiliated again.

“88 year old machinery need replacement”-Tsvangirai

88 year old Mugabe
Mugabe accuses Tsvangirai of indirectly attacking him about his age

Prime Minister, Morgan Tsvangirai’s remark was not just an innocent comment about the ageing 88year old machinery that needed replacement. It was in fact, an indirect attack on Mugabe and was a way of telling the 88year old leader that it was time for him to step down and make way for young and energetic potential leaders.
The outlash from Mugabe in reaction to Tsvangirai remark is a reflection of how the 88 year old leader is so insecure about his age. Even though Mugabe has received enough attacks about his age and reported ill health and how he needs to step down, Mugabe is still resistant to do so. I suppose the Zanu PF members who have been hoping that Mugabe will step down anytime soon because of his old age are beginning to lose hope because Mugabe has been vowing to stay in power.I actually do not understand why Mugabe is so much reluctant to resign as the President. If he is worried and insecure about what the others are thinking and saying about his age, why can he not just step down and take a break from that.
