I disagree with Matthew Nash, your argument is narrow, baseless and non impirical. Siphox is only stating a simple cause that many who served in the ANC, including Msholozi, are what back in the Robben Island days, one would call the members of the High Organ that immersed itself in the deep interrogation of issues facing the peoples movement rather that wrecklessly respond to issues as though they were personal in nature. The High Organ had crystal clear understanding of the consequences for the deceisions they would take and such is the ANC of today under the leadership of Nxamalala.

I feel so proud that SA citizens are finally standing up for what we believe in. Many hopes and dreams were created by the ANC in 1994, none were actually realized. There are now more corruption, poverty, violence than ever before in this country. We need new leaders, some that are not only after money and fame.

Siphox I'm with you are raising valid points here and the challenge is that the people you are talking to seem not to understand you.

I dont even want to talk about COPE as I believe that talking about them does serve any purpose.

As a member of the ANC I acknowledge that the organisation is faced by major challenges and in trying to address and the ANC led government has mechanisms in place to fight corruption and I want to make it clear that the ANC led government does not encourage corruption and would never encourage that.

Another major challenge is of people who dont understand how the legislation applies in this country. Some people think that because so and so are members of the ANC therefore they have no right to take part in business; I'm saying that is unfair.

People would jump to conclude that if a certain member of the ANC is doing well in business that particular person is a fraudster.

But what worries me is people who benefited through the policies of the ANC and not through fraud; who are now rich and accusing the ANC of corruption. I think I have a very big problem with that. If you ask me these people are doing everything in their power to drag the name of the ANC through the mud.

I am happy that they choose to have their gatherings in Sandton and through 702 and 567 Talk Radio. This clearly shows that these people are nothing but a group of rich people and of course accompanied by those who have ambitions of persuing careers in politics.

lasty I remain convinced that the ANC as led by its democratically elected president will continue to improves the lives of the poor to achieve its goal of better life for all

Sean Hammon, from your tone of your voice i can clearly say that you have never even liked the ANC. This corruption stuff and Malema is just another opportunity for you to bash at the organisation.
You can mock my freedom fighters and claim that they are good at running around in the bushes with AK 47, guess what sean, you are missing the big picture, they defeated aparthied. they were not running around for nothing.

The Fact that Julius Malema publicly apologised for his "kill for Zuma" statement, suggest a high sense of political maturity and sobreity on his part as a young leader. This public acknowledgement refers to his earlier statement that he did not mean that the ANCYL is going to kill anyone, but simply a figure of speech that enjoyed the misfortune of bieng misunderstood.

Julius made a public error, acknowleged this error publicly, and apologised publicly. What more can a man do?

Matthew Nash, I don't just hope that the ANC will free me from poverty and suffering, its actually happening, look around you and you will see the changes unless you chose to be blind so that you don't see the good that the ANC has done because you just hate the organisation. If you think that the ANC to free me from poverty means that they should drop a sack of money every morning on my door step, well, dream on. What governments do is create conditions for people to improve their lives and maintain this conditions. They provide schools, clinics, roads and economic opportunities which the ANC has done that is why I have job today and can move from the RDP to a house in the surbabs.
ANC is the only party which can deliver in South Africa. It is the best government in Africa and in the developing world. Yes, we supporters of the ANC see the corruption and the mismanagment, we are not blind, but we know that the ANC will continuosly correct and improve itself.

Matthew Nash : when men make statements like "i didn't join the struggle to be poor " and they move to new COPE what do you add up?

The Fact that Julius Malema publicly apologised for his "kill for Zuma" statement, suggest a high sense of political maturity and sobreity on his part as a young leader. This public acknowledgement refers to his earlier statement that he did not mean that the ANCYL is going to kill anyone, but simply a figure of speech that enjoyed the misfortune of bieng misunderstood.

have the leaders of both the current ANC and its breakaway faction not taken any lead from the much publicised Presidential election in the United States?
If they had, then they would realise that the people want deliverables, not hate speech. Carry on Malema, you are just driving supporters away. Learn about politics and its true meaning before defiling others with your stupidity.

To hell with Malema's so called " im very sorry "
He deserves to be fired from the ANC. We, the people cannot allow people such as Malema to be part of the structure of the ANC. Statement that he has made will surely cost the ANC major votes.
