Cdes, I have a bit of a serious concern with his appoitnment particilarly when he said, he belives God wants him to be CJ!!is he then not going to listen to his God when executing his duties and make odd decisions that are unconstitutional? Can someone conform if its true that he actually was the president's fourth choice?

It was Cosatu that pronounced on leadership of JZ before it was fashionable.Remember after the then President T Mbeki relieved JZ,Cosatu structures pronounced and vociferously campaigned for JZ maybe cde you are suffering from amnesia or you are anti Cosatu.

On Tue, Sep 6, 2011 at 7:48 AM, Dominic Tweedie wrote: ANC wants 'Malema culprits' identified Setumo Stone and Sibongakonke Shoba, Business Day, Johannesburg, 6 September 2011 THE African National Congress (ANC) has instructed its provincial leaders to track down the "culprits" who travelled to Johannesburg last week to protest outside Luthuli House in support of ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema. This emerged yesterday when the ANC's provincial leadership in the North West read out a statement -- which they said was a joint initiative with Luthuli House -- threatening action against those involved in the pro-Julius Malema demonstrations. The move could indicate that the ANC leadership is tightening its grip on the party ahead of a showdown with the youth league president who, along with five others, faces charges of bringing the ANC into disrepute. "The provincial executive committee will use all means at (its) disposal to ensure the culprits of these hideous acts are brought to book," provincial secretary Kabelo Mataboge said at a media briefing in Mafikeng. "We call upon the general membership of the ANC with knowledge of these occurrences and culprits thereof to approach the structures of the organisation." Last night ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe defended the decision to charge its youth wing leaders, saying it was the leaders' duty to restore discipline in the party. "We must do that in line with the culture and the rules of the movement." Mr Mantashe said the ANC's national working committee, which met yesterday, had condemned the protest, concluding it was "uncalled for and calculated to undermine the internal organisational processes to uphold disciplined conduct of its members". The committee also condemned the burning of T-shirts bearing President Jacob Zuma 's face. At a congress of the Food and Allied Workers Union Mr Mantashe also urged members to swell the ranks of the ANC to protect it from elite groups with power and money. "Those with money create bookmakers. You cannot run a liberation movement through bookmakers." Mr Mantashe said the aim of those who wanted leadership change was to install leaders who would create space for self-enrichment. He also criticised the Congress of South African Trade Unions (Cosatu), saying its objection to Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng's nomination for the chief justice post was a proxy war against Mr Zuma. Mr Mantashe said Justice Mogoeng's nomination was a correct decision. "That fight about Mogoeng has nothing to do with Mogoeng. It is a proxy war against Zuma, the president of the ANC." Cosatu's position on Justice Mogoeng was wrong, Mr Mantashe said. He also made reference to alliance forces that sought to undermine any decision taken by the ANC. "They want to prove to the world that Zuma can't take proper decisions but he continues to surprise them." Earlier in the day South African Communist Party deputy general secretary Jeremy Cronin called on the ANC to act "firmly" against the leadership of its youth league. "The ANC must provide leadership. It must assert its authority they (the youth league leaders) must be taught with firmness." Without mentioning names, Mr Cronin said the ANC must deal with people who undermined the party's principle of nonracialism. One of the charges Mr Malema is facing is that he referred to white people as thieves during an election rally this year. Mr Cronin said anyone who did not uphold the principle of nonracialism "does not belong in our alliance". He said the league was part of anticommunist forces, including demagogues and populists who spoke the language of the left. "These people talk of nationalisation without understanding the mining sector, without talking to the National Union of Mineworkers." Mr Mataboge said support for Mr Malema and the protests outside Luthuli House were a "noble cause that was hijacked by forces that might not even identify with the youth league or the ANC".
