South Africa under Zuma

THE REAL DILEMA OF PRESIDENT ZUMA.

 

In 1994 the ANC under the leadership of Nelson Mandela win the first democratic election in South Africa. It was highly likely that the revenge on apartheid would have led to the possible genocide of the white population of the country. Due to the negotiations between the new government some deals must have been made, these deals must have include enough security for the then special forces and other well trained South African Defence forces to stand down and on the other hand enough control for the new government and their freedom fighters to accept the deal. Part of the deal was to close all criminal files of the ANC, their freedom fighters and the special forces of the previous government. The reality of the matter was that the public especially the new voters wanted to see some justice, the only way to achieve this was through a process of reconciliation and the delivery of some people.

Some people had to take the fall for the rest of the country, had to take the fall to hide the criminal involvement of the new found freedom fighter and the old South African Defence force.

This deal always bothered me as some of the people that took the fall for the so called justice were always under the command of high ranking officers that walk totally free from the investigations, and left the following questions in my mind:

1)      Why did the new government negotiate?

2)      Why did they not open all the files and prosecute all the people they wanted to?

And then

3)      Why did they wait till the Zuma era to start major destabilisation and implementation?

4)      What or who caused the delays in the total redistribution of farm properties?

Any reasonable negotiation is normally earmarked by power sharing of the parties negotiating, it is therefore reasonable to accept that the previous government and concerned military parties had some reasonably strong cards on the table, which might have been the outgoing highly trained military forces and possibly the weapons still within the power of these forces. If this assumption is close to the truth the events following make more sense.

It makes sense that the new Government started playing the waiting game to wait for the military forces ageing and weaponry become outdated. During this period the constitution was designed to protect all the people in South Africa, to keep the ageing military trained forces from forming uprising to the government.

The ANC sat with their first dilemma to keep the balance between inpatient voters and the strong and unbeatable military trained people in the country, to combat this they decided to test the reaction from the predominant white trained people by changing a few street names. Once they realise that the resistance was not much they moved slightly towards more radical changes, keeping in mind that the forces are watching them.

I believe that they have started planning to allow the trained men to age to such a point where the only resistance would be mostly untrained people, that would bring us to the Zuma era, an era where trained South African Defence Force people would reach the age of retirement, where the impact of their resistance would become significantly smaller, where they could be controlled by a smaller police force.

 

Sequence of some events that I based my speculation on.

 

1)      THE FAILED EVENT TO REGISTER THE OLD DEFENSE FORCE PEOPLE FOR A PENSION SCHEME.

One of the problems that the ANC encountered was the lack of special force records available, to progress with their radical plan it was of utmost importance that they have up to date intelligence on who is still alive and who is still in the country.

How did I get to this conclusion?

All government pension funds and or allowances are restricted to individuals that do not have property and or a fixed income, suddenly for no reason at all they announced that all ex-SADF member will qualify for a pension with no restrictions. This event was only considered when the time has expired and due to the fact that anybody that fought in the Angola and other wars for the SADF was now at the age of retirement. It was still however very important that they know the whereabouts of these ex-soldiers.

If they had proper records from all the ex-soldiers it would have been possible to automatically register the pensions and only use the normal procedures to find out if they were still alive. The procedure however asked all ex members to register at certain points for this pension, part of the form was the unit that they have served under. This immediately left a ratty smell of information gathering; as the old defence force system had a force number that automatically place the person in units. The question that I had to ask was: Did they have these records or are they trying to create a new record?

The initiative however failed horribly as no special forces fell for it and registered for these pensions.

This led the ANC to the conclusion that all these soldiers are either out of the country or not able to register anymore. This then led to the second event...

 

2)      THE ANOUNCEMENT THAT ALL PROFESSIONAL SOLDIERS FIGHTING AS MERCENARIES IN OTHER COUNTRIES ARE NOW ILLEGAL AND COULD NOT RETURN TO SOUTH AFRICA WITHOUT PROCECUTION.

Once these measures was in place the first destabilisation of the country started. The obvious question now must be.

Why destabilise the country and what advantages will it holds for the ruling party?

Like in all democracies across the world it is important to stir the voters to a point where they demand action, where they demand the intervention of military or police action. In Africa however destabilisation means that the current ruler has the ability to remain in power to become an autocratic leader. I based this fact on rulers like Robert Mugabe who destabilise and become lifelong presidents. Our President needs to remain president to avoid criminal prosecution and the following events follow.

1)      The destabilising of parliament procedures, and the power showed of armed forces entering parliament. The event according to me was staged to prevent people to look at other events that unfolded in the country. All voter eyes were securely on parliament while the president secured the support of a Chinese ally to the detriment of the workforce in South Africa. The negotiating events almost went unnoticed by the voters as their attention was captured by Julius Malema and the noise in parliament. The storm in parliament however did not last long enough for Zuma to complete all his negotiations with his new found friends and his movement toward the Russians as new allies.

2)      The youth start their march to destroy all historical monuments in South Africa. According to me this event was designed in twofold, firstly to see how the resistance would react especially the Afrikaner and military trained people and secondly to keep the press and social media busy while the president start negotiations with the Russians. We must remember that these negotiations was with governments that have no human rights or constitutions in place, in fact both these countries use strong military forces to supress any resistance in their own countries, both countries will infiltrate any country without good reason.  The masking event was however not as successful as Zuma wished it to have been. The Afrikaner and ex-military once again did not fall for the trick, only a few reacted and once again the much feared ex-special forces did not show their faces, the majority of people that they hoped would make the event huge did not react. The ANC and Zuma needed a new event an event that would force great reaction.

3)      Xenophobia attacks broke out after the Zulu king and Jacob Zuma’s own son made well planned statements to turn the streets of Durban and Johannesburg into battle fields. The event captured the imagination of all the journalist in the world and people in South Africa demanded the military to be released on the streets to restore law and order.  According to Zuma and his undercover allies the EFF the table was now set for the radical changes and the implementation of property reforms in South Africa. The gears in the clock were set and laws and suggestions rolled out before the two leaders had the time to tell their people that the event did not succeed. They had no time to tell that the reaction of the neighbouring countries was not favourable and they never expected the Nigerian government to announce that the 80 old South African soldiers have defeated Boka Haram and accomplished more in two months than their defence force with the US Special Forces and the British forces could accomplish in six years. They did not keep in mind that the reaction against xenophobia from the Nigerian government would force them to acknowledge the ex-SADF military force and abolish the ban on these men.

 

The dilemma of Jacob Zuma

It was expected that the era of Jacob Zuma would have been the era of change, the era where the resistance would have changed from a trained military force to a complaining non-threatening public opinion. He and his friend Julius would have destabilise the country, new communist laws would have been implemented and a new life-long president would have been born.

To implement such radical changes takes lots of planning with coordinated actions and implementations by your appointed crowd.

All this was in place each appointed minister had his briefing and knew when to announce the new schemes, with military in the streets after the public demanded action on xenophobia, an uprising by old men from the ex-Sadf was unlikely.

The problem was the events that suddenly played out, the well organised ministers was not briefed or trained on how to judge the reactions, they had jobs to do and the two horrible twins (Jacob and Julius) would ensure that the destabilisation of the country would spread panic within the country to such a stage that the resistance would not even care about the reforms, they would have kept the resistance busy with marches against xenophobia, and the destruction of monuments. The police would have been demilitarising to ensure that the resistance had no protection if the military moved in the streets. They had the idea that these actions would have flushed the possible military resistance out and that the military presence would have captured an unorganised resistance.

The reality was however far removed from the planned actions, they did not keep in mind that the Afrikaner was the architect of guerrilla warfare, they forgot that the special forces was trained to combat communism and that they would have recognise the propaganda tactics of the ANC.

Zuma did not keep in mind, and did not expect that only a few Afrikaners would have reacted to the destruction of monuments, that the xenophobia would force him to make peace with his apartheid friends in Africa and that his formal friends would use and praised the ex-soldiers of the SADF Special Forces. He did not expect that the eighty well trained men in Nigeria would make headlines and prove that they could still do what the USA and Britain could not in six years. That they would prove to the world that their military capabilities is still the best in the world even at their retirement age.

The well organised ministers however continued to roll out new laws to supress the Afrikaner further; it is however clear that the redistribution was not thought through properly and that one man drafted a suggestion on farmland without any legal assistance.

Even the main opposition party was caught off guard and showed their involvement in the destruction pre maturely, by voting with the ANC against the protection of historical monuments in Cape Town.

Zuma is sitting with the dilemma that he needs to reinforce the basic principles, which he needs to calm his voters down by proving some of the lies that they included into history. Suddenly the Sunday Times is used to publish photographs of Quito Cuanavale to show the people how the Ex-SADF withdraws out of Angola, to prove that the ANC have won the war. They however forgot to check the vehicles in the photograph crossing the Cubango River and the time frames of withdrawal. In the photo is a bullnose Mercedes troop carrier of the early 1970’s, these vehicles were decommissioned in the 80’s and was not used by the SADF in 1988. The Angolan Government troops however used these vehicles, so if this was the real withdrawal it shows a captured vehicle.

On the same bridge it shows old land Rovers, these vehicles was used to transport senior officers in Angola, the Land Rovers was however upgraded to new land rovers in the middle 80’s, so once again why did the SADF use old vehicles in the attack? Let us discuss these photos some other time.

 

It seems that the same military card is still on the table, that the farm murders and exclusion of white South African in the economic market did not break the Afrikaner spirit. In fact the only thing that the ANC managed to change in 20 years is the crime statistics, and the failure of all government infrastructures. They managed to make us world leaders in murder rates; they managed to keep the voter uneducated and poor, become the first country in the world to face a total power failure.

Conspiracy or stupidity

Conspiracy or stupidity

 

With violence riddling the streets of the once beautiful South Africa with Xenophobia, with senseless murders of White Farmers and widespread black on black murders in the poverty stricken areas, with a government blaming everybody but themselves, the poverty increase and jobs are lost daily.

Investors are withdrawing their investments, and companies move out of the range of violent strikes during wage negotiations. Neighbouring countries recall their ambassadors in protest against the Xenophobic attacks on their citizens, their protest can be well founded if the history that passed the black censor pen of the ANC , come to the foreground,  in the fact that the same people that assist the ANC to end apartheid is the people now slayed in the streets. One look at the farm murders 7000 since 1994, where farmers are raped mutilated and killed for a few Rand left in their wallets; we see the brutal murders in the townships where political supporters kill supporters of other beliefs. But then your eyes turn across the burning tyres, the bodies and grieving families and come to rest on the man that lead these people in silence, a silence that sound like approval, you see the man that needs to clinch to his position as president to avoid criminal prosecution for his criminal activities under the protection of voters that believed and still believe that he will save them from poverty. As my eyes rest on the pathetic figure through the thick smoke and blood stained windows of farmers and black townships the once important question of competency become a new question of conspiracy a question of greed and power.

My mind entangle in the soviet like story told by events following each other to create total chaos in the streets, events that spell the possible end of freedom by the same people who shed blood to achieve it over the years, I see the celebration of freedom day from behind the bars needed to protect the citizens against uncontrollable crime, the celebrations of peace while leaders shed the blame onto anyone but themselves, words that justify the killing of a foreigner in Johannesburg because his immigration papers were not in order. I listen to the words that condemn and justify in the same sentence, words that contradict each other to stimulate the dangerous mob mentality.  The questions in my mind want to prove that stupidity is the cause but the reality forces me to ask the question differently. Through the thick smoke I can see the man with the red beret his left hand clinch to the machete, under his red overall, that want to slice through the last strings that keep the state governable, the words coming from his mouth condemn the violence, his sentence does not stop there it continue with the description of the forceful removal of white supremacy, the destruction of history. His words excite the rent a crowd that he promised food if they listen to him. They all dance as he sings “kiss the Boer” the excitement drive them to believe, to the believe that they can take what they need from the white citizens, they believe that their poverty is no more, that the food he fed them the words of encouragement to violence solved the poverty. But as they leave and drive to their government created shacks they must realise that there is no work tomorrow, that there is no money coming in.

My mind slip to the laughing man in parliament as opposition leaders condemn his actions, as they accuse him of misconduct and I cannot help to replace the question of stupidity with a question of planned stupidity. We are waiting for his response for his explanation but he talked in riddles he remain silent. 

We witnessed the petition of farmers, the cry from social media to stop the killing, but he remains silent. We see how students try to antagonise white people by breaking down all the historical monuments but he remains silent. When the xenophobic attacks break out we wait for his response but he only respond days later with not much more that silence.

The new question that sings round my ears is; how can you become lifelong president? In my quest for an answer my eyes turn to the fastest declining economy in the decade, I see Mugabe with gold on his fingers, I see how the people in his country fled to South Africa to find means to feed their family, where the Zimbabwe Dollar has become cheaper than toilette paper and I wonder if this answer my question, I wonder if the instability in the country contributed to his long term of presidency.

If this is the truth then I wonder if Julius Malema and Jacob Zuma are not working together, if their master plan does not involve instability, if the silence of our President is not a quiet approval of his once close comrade Julius.

So the question remain, do they destroy the country and her economy due to stupidity or is it a conspiracy?

Stop the senceless murders

Zuma blame everybody but himself.

 

President Jacob Zuma once again refuses to take responsibility or any accountability for Xenophobic attacks during past few weeks.

In a speech that he delivered on Freedom day, he blamed the violence and xenophobic attacks on “Apartheid” and the colonialism in South Africa which ended more than 20 years ago; he also laid the blame at the door of neighbouring countries, blaming them for allowing their people to come to South Arica.

The lack of ability to take responsibility is a clear sign of his inability to lead the country away from violence and into a united nation that can build South Africa and her economy, to eradicate the poverty.

He further stated that the man that was killed in Johannesburg was an illegal immigrant. This statement gave me the feeling that he agree with the xenophobic attacks as long as the person killed has no papers, as long as the person is illegal in the country.

I have a problem with the contradiction in the above statements; his sentiment is with the violence although he blames it on the previous dispensation in South Africa. The questions that keep knocking on my mind are;

How can this country become peaceful while the president refuses to condemn murders in the country, while the president led in violence?

How can a country provide security for investors and business people if the president makes excuses for people that commit violent crimes?

How can we eradicate poverty in our beloved country while the president promotes strikes and violence?

He then continues with his speech honouring the South Africans that died during the xenophobic attacks, as if the foreigners have attacked our people and these people died defending their belongings, as if these people were ordered by government to march up and defend the country.

Or did they? 

How can the president defy the laws of the country?

How can the president promote vigilantes to run free, to kill those that they do not agree with?

 

How can our president enforce the law, if he has no respect for it himself?

 

On the same day Julius Malema leader of the EFF sang “kiss the boer” before he told the followers that came for the food, to end the white ownership of property.  He continues to say that they must take the land back.

Clearly this is a call for more violence in a country where 7000 farmers have been brutally raped tortured and murdered since the ANC came to power. In a country that has the highest murder rate in the world.  In a country where the murder rate compares with war stricken countries in the world.

This irresponsible leadership is unacceptable, where leaders call on mob mentality like crime lords.

Where they lead without consequences

 

We as a white and black community demand that you stop the murders stop the violent crimes, stop ignoring the facts, stop blaming others.  Become responsible leaders, leaders that care about the people they lead.
