I don't want to be on the wrong side of history. I have to comment on the Nkandla scandal and the public protector's report. But we don't just comment for the sake of making a noise. But I felt that I needed to caution everyone expecting something to come out of Thuli Madonsela's damning report on the president's Nkandla homestead. Few week ago we heard from Madonsela, detailing how corrupt people run our public broadcaster. The report was dismssed and the rogue elements praised as martyrs.
So, don't give yourself ulcers and heartburn when this is just one of those moments we will look back and realise that President Jacob Zuma got away with it. Instead of defending the ANC by getting rid of him, they choose to keep him where he is. Perhaps it's ideal for their own future? The idea of not having blue lights and bodyguards probably torments ministers who continue to swim against a tide of outrage and disgust at the corruption and dishonesty.
Most of the condemnation of what is happening in our government, is loud in newspaper columns and blogs. Not in the streets. The noise on the streets is only from those hyenas trying to score ahead of the general elections in May. Everyone is looking out for themselves. The only brave people are in Bekkersdal. They stoned ANC officials because they are tired of the poverty proudly sponsored by the ANC and other political parties like the DA where they govern.
No one is on this for the people but themselves. So, until the people of this country, all of them, see the political parties, especially the ANC for what they are, we will never have a revolution. No change, no improvement.
Until then, we must just sit down!
