The After Mandela Politics

There are so many sad realities to the chaos in Parliament. We have a party leader, Julius Malema who also had to "pay back the money" asking President Jacob Zuma when he will pay his dues. Classic case of the pot calling the kettle black. 

And then you see footage of ANC MPs pushing and shoving their into Parliament in a bid to remove EFF MPs. A reflection of hooliganism. Direct ammunition for people who never had faith in a Black government. I don't really care about them, but it is clear that stereotypes about Black are deepened and we will remain invisible because we indirectly sponsor white supremacy. 

These are what I call, "The after Mandela politics". Mandela was the one thing that people who benefitted from apartheid used calm their coscience. The EFF is making people uncomfortable. Myself included. But I kinda like my discomfort, because I have always known Parliament as a place for people who were suites, speak properly and accept authority. 

Like I said in my many other posts, the wrong people are saying all the rgiht things. But also, the ANC must realise that Mr Zuma is a compromised man. Their continued loyalty to this man will translate into less votes in 2016. South Africans don't like change, but they seem to be enjoying EFF's approach to politics. They will give them more power. Especially at municipal level. We have gone through the hill towards the much anticipated 2014 elections. But not much has changed. Corruption, lack of service delivery still make headlines. Unemployment numbers are scary. The lives of our people contninue to degenerate. Government is not inspiring us. The EFF is inspiring broken people who will just destroy the small achievements of the current government. It's not a pretty picture.
