“"We are one people. these divisions, these jealousies, are the cause of all our woes today."

The same milk Blade Nzimande and Zuma are spoiling themselves with... No political party in South Africa circa 2014 can claim be for the interest of the poor. I know as usual the alliance comrade leaders tend to point to low cost houses, electrification of the previously disadvantaged households, et cetera, however when one takes a close look at this not so good story to tell one can only note a strategy to entrap our people in perpetual dependence on the state. Thus on the ANC for poor services which only serves to rob our people of decent lives. How can you boast of giving an unemployed a electrified house and sanitation knowing very well that you will demand rent and an electricity bill? Where hell do you presume this person will get the money to pay for these services? In the end you cut his/her electricity and water supply making his/her life a misery as it was before your farce intervention. The ANC has lost footing and it does not deserve the status of revolutionary movement. We've seen and heard Mantashe going on public platform and claim NDP seek to achieve the ideals embedded in the freedom charter, utter rubbish. The less I talk of SACP the better because it seems it has become some of hybrid characterized by Corruption Protector and Capital Propeller features mixed some concoction of tribalism and cronyism. Get real and focus on saving the alliance from the enemies within, the likes of the corrupt so called number one and his ilk.

The Milk bowl has fallen and the cats are fighting amongst themselves, the EFF is in the crossroad within. 18 November 2014 I was sitting at home with my wife to be and my four years old baby boy that I love so much. Our cats were milling around our feet. My wife to be was preparing breakfast for me and while she was pouring milk into the bowl, it fell by mistake. I was looking at my two cats fighting amongst themselves for that milk. I began to ask myself how it could be, that these two cats were friends for such a short historical time. Now because the milk in the bowl has spilt they treat one another as enemies. I began to shake my head in wonder. The once friends, now fighting cats reminded me of the power battle in the new- born political organization, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) between the self-styled Commander in Chief, Julius Malema and some of its structures in Gauteng, Northern Cape, Free State and the Western Cape. What caused this turf war between these leaders obviously is a power struggle within their structures and amidst claims by his provincial lieutenants that he is a dictator, a liar and indeed a hypocrite. And I am pretty sure that it is not only these four provinces that are angry with Honourable Malema, but other provincial EFF fighters who have been given a mandate by voters of this country to promote their revolutionary interests. Now it is all about two individuals (Julius Malema and Floyd Shivambu) who want to rise rapidly to power for their own selfish enrichment. What about the people who put them there with the hope that they would make their lives better as pledged in the EFF manifesto? Those people, who are fanatical about Julius Malema and his fellow rogues in the EFF, are now upset that they were not doing what was expected. These same people continue to struggle because the leadership is not dealing with their interests, but performing in a comedy of red overalls in our Parliament and Provincial Legislatures. Indeed no normal person can take these childish comedians seriously. These poorest of the poor will only be let down by the embarrassment of its leaders who prefer public spats to healthy engagement. The EFF is characterized by bullying and arrogant leaders, who are not conscious of the interest of the young working class and the poor who are the majority in this country. Their only interest is expelling and suspending those who challenge Julius Malema just as he did in the Youth League. Why should you allow battalions to lead you if they are not willing to be engaged in democratic discussion? Ho Chi Minh, father of the Vietnamese Revolution said, “All my life, I have served the homeland, the revolution and the people with all my heart and strength. If I should now depart from this world, I would have nothing to regret, except not being able to serve longer and more. When I am gone, a grand funeral should be avoided in order not to waste the people’s time and money.” Why can’t we be like this great philosopher of the Vietnamese Revolution? When we leave our organization, we should leave it with a good legacy. Let the tenderpreneurs, the bling-leaders hiding under their red overalls, the publicity seekers, those who ascend to positions of leadership with populist rhetoric, and demagogues tremble! Indeed the milk bowl has fallen and the cats, historical comrades, are fighting amongst themselves.
