thobela, i am fully agreeing that the manner at which the second term issue of Cde. Zuma has been engaged into is rather unfortunate and fortunate.
utterances were made after Zuma was elected as the president of the ANC, political commentators assured the nation of the possible wrecking of the ANC, whilst the millions of the ANC Members and followers viewed it as a victory to the ANC and until today the members still maintains their take into the leadership. also after Zuma appointed his cabinet and its restructuring, all thumbs were up and giantly celebrated, with special sentiments that in him South Africa 's Future will be better pampered, my thumbs are still up. calling for third term by COSATU and the subsequent support by the YCL has no problem except the compromise of the unity as demonstrated, in a sense that the decision to have President Jacob Zuma as the ANC 's Presidential candidate by the Alliance was not engaged upon in corridors or through pressure received from an arrogant journalist, but was agreed to through robust discussions. therefore it is purely wrong for Vavi to be put into a corner by a journalist and end up uttering a statement which has so many implications for the allience, Vavi in his life handled many troublesome press conferences which dealt with issues of high sensitivity. the President of the ANCYL Cde. Julius Malema 's approach on the issue has an Allience 's interest at heart. as one revolutionary, Che Guevara once said that "It should not be case that determines the pace of the Revolution, but the strength of Revolutionaries themselves." radical observation on this entire issue suggests to us that if we are not careful, the succession issue can take us back to Thabo Mbeki 's era of dictatorship and patronage. Cdes, a leader who fails to deceiver the signals of a counter revolutionary and act decisively is not a true revolutionary and at times of action when there should be action, the particular Action will be premature, what i am implying comrades is that we should not avail ourselves at the game held in the hands of our detractors by using the media as a tool to corrects wrong mistakes as committed. all of us are agreeing that Jacob Zuma is a leader of high note and should display this internaly and ensure that those who left the ANC to form cope do not go all out to tell people that i told you so. i am certain that our allience is not dialectic but based on solid understanding on approaches. the forum also should not blow a baloon out of the whole thing and engage constractively on it, our fundemental role of existance is the provision of possible solutions to matters as arising. i am agreeing with Julius that this issue should be handled in a fragility status than throwing it all over as its danger may be equivalent to that of throwing a cobra onto each other, service delivery and the fight against homelessness, poverty, unemployment and many other living challenges our people are confronted with everyday of their hungry lives. ke a le leboga.
