Tuesday, 16 March 2010 12:31 Written by Michael Fletcher So I'm pretty fed up with all the Julius Malema talk. He's everywhere in the papers, blogs the news. So to show my dissatisfaction naturally the best thing to do... Yes I'll write another Julius Malema blog post. We are however playing right into the hands of possibly the best leader in the country. Yeah by my reckoning he's possibly just about eclipsed Jacob Zuma as the country's top leader. Julius make me cringe againAll this talk about tenders and Julius Malema talking crap, doing himself no favours on-air is pretty irrelevant next to the very simple and true fact, the ANC is a democracy. Just like South Africa. Julius Malema is the president of the youth league because the youth within the ANC are in favour of his leftist leaning (what does that even mean in a post apartheid South Africa) I dislike the gentleman with a passion, he's often illiterate babble is a slap in the face to the heroes of the struggle in whose footsteps he follows. When Julius Malema opens his mouth I cringe, he makes a mockery of an organisation with a proud history to whom I owe a debt I could not payback in 10 lifetimes. Organisations are strange things though, built out of order and running from bottom to top based on the strength of it's constitution. Ultimately to act outside of this natural order is too stunt the growth of the organisation. Julius Malema's rise to prominence is not his fault but the fault of a party out of touch with the common man. Leaders LeadRegardless of all that a leader must be judged by his followers. At the most basic level a good leader has many followers a poor leader has a few. By this reckoning Julius Malema is doing pretty ok in the leadership department. Whether we like it or not we could do worse than Julius, in fact Julius' complete and utter ineptitude in other fields leaves me completely at peace. To quote Douglas Adams he’s mostly harmless. The unhappy masses who flock to hear Julius Malema's rehetoric have a point. There has not been enough change. Many in our new country have been marginalised. Many more are furious. For many of the poorest not much has changed and they are well and truly pissed off. Julius Malema voice currently is the one that most closely resembles that of the disgruntled masses. They identify with him and support him as he says whatever the hell he pleases. Listen carefully to the rage in his words and in between sentences you might start to hear the dissatisfaction of the masses. The poor, those least able to voice there unhappiness. Listen to the voice of the peopleJulius Malema is without doubt amongst the top leaders in South Africa. Much like Hitler though Malema is simply speaking the right language for country today. If we were living in a country where the needs of the majority were being attended to, I can assure you that there would be no market for his inflammatory rhetoric. Sadly though we don't live in that country. We live in the South Africa ripping at the seams as the rich from pull at the purse and the poor look on. So next time you take a jab at Julius, because really it takes a lot of skill to poke fun at him *rolling eyes* think about what he represents. He is the voice of the poor and the marginalised who have been silenced in our society. http://mydigitallife.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1053304%3Awhy-julius-malema-is-the-best-leader-in-south-africa-today-for-real&catid=1000%3Aopinion-blogs&Itemid=73 ------------------------------ Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service.
