Maybe the ANC should die of old age

I do not want to sit here and be deterred by the Mangaung election results. This year was the year for South African citizens. And it is my hope that Jacob Zuma's re-election as the ANC president will fuel ideas in the minds of our citizens. Patriotism drove a group of concerned people to force the minister of education to deliver learning material to Limpopo pupils. When we were told to pay e-tolls, we stood and took to the courts and the streets to fight for what we believed in. The year 2012 was  the year of the citizens, because ordinary people like Dr Mamphela Ramphele who prevented Zuma's government from appointing the tainted Richard Mdluli from a crucial Position in the security of our country. The spirit of democracy crushed the plans of the ANC to contaminate the State even further.
My warning to the arrogant ANC is that do not underestimate the will of the South African people.
You have to be very selfish to ignore the R 240 million Nkandla Project. You must have buried your conscience if you turn a blind eye to the lack of decisive leadership from President Jacob Zuma. The delegates at Mangaungn Conference Today projected Zuma for a second term in office as head of State. That is equivalent to a spit in the face of many impoverished people of this country. This better evoke Thirst for change. I refuse to accept that a few thousand people can decide on the future of millions of South Africans. Very few good things can be alluded to the Zuma Presidency. The ANC is plagued corruption. And those who voted at the Mangaung conference knew they stand to benefit under Zuma presidency. Why else would you vote for a man with a track record like that of Zuma? The only thing they have achieved is to keep Zuma out of prison.
Something powerful has to come out against this uncertain future for our constitutional democracy. Zackie Achmat has given up his ANC membership. Now that is comforting. There are still South Africans with a conscience. I too, hope the scars of the labour movement which they got from the Marikana massacre do not heal until they erupt and charge the ANC. Charge them like an angry bull. And form a political party that will win the hearts and minds of South Africans who have not benefitted from the lies and deceit by the ANC. Cannot wait for the day when the ordinary citizen say "Amandla" and the masses respond, "Awethu". Because truly, the power is ours.
