Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma shows her Stripes

The aspirant to the position of President, Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma has shown her stripes early in her campaign. She has stated that the former Model C schools, the only group of educational institutions in the country to offer anything approaching a decent education, is conspiring to teach the children things to discredit the ANC. This mediocre woman, who managed by her leadership of the Department of Home Affairs to cause Britain and other countries to impose a visa requirement on South African visitors for the first time ever, in order to compensate for the illegal sale of South African passports to foreignors, many of them criminals or terrorists in other respects (not surprising, in view of the close ties of the ANC to countries that have supported terrorist activity, such as Libya under Gaddafi and Iran), and went on from that to preside over the African Union in a term that achieved close to nothing for the peoples of Africa, seems determined to continue in the footsteps of her ex-husband, the present President, in finding ways to blame those who demonstrate success in what they do for the disastrous performance of her Party over the 23 years it has been in power. This woman would be much better served by investigating the reasons why anyone would want to do that. The Government schools with which the Model C Schools compete, offer the third-worst standard of education in the world, even though they cost the highest proportion of the annual Budget of any country. It seems that Dlamini Zuma does not wish to know what is wrong – it is enough to know that the Party has earned the reputation as the Association for Nepotism and Corruption, and has brought the country from a land of hope to one of despair.

President Zuma, the man known as the singlehanded wrecking ball of the economy and by far the most corrupt and incompetent President the country has ever known, blames all the failings of his Presidency and his Party on Jan van Riebeeck, the first Governor of the Dutch settlement at what is now Cape Town in 1652, when he is not blaming White Monopoly Capital for them, disregarding the fact that the company is supported by the tax revenues generated by Capital, whether White Monopoly or otherwise, or the mythical anti-Zuma marchers carrying posters describing the Blacks as baboons, certainly an outright lie in the Zuma tradition, designed to create racial division in the country in order to consolidate his hold on the rapidly-decreasing number of ANC adherents. His ex-wife, on whom he appears to be pinning his hopes of granting protection against the prosecution of the 783 criminal charges of corruption, fraud and money-laundering that will certainly put him in the big house for the rest of his natural life if an honest President comes to power when he steps down (if he actually does that, in accordance with the Constitution – Jacob has demonstrated on several occasions that he views the Constitution as an inconvenient piece of paper to be circumvented at every opportunity).

On the evidence of her history and her performance in the jobs she has held, supported by her current statements, this woman will pose a real threat to her ex-husband if she manages to convince the morally-impoverished leaders of the ANC to elect her to the highest office. He threat that she will pose to the country in that office would be even greater than that likely to be expected from the demonstrably spineless Cyril Ramaphosa, a man who seemed to be better President material than other ANC leaders, as he has stood by and watched his boss wreck virtually every aspect of Nelson Mandela’s legacy, putting out the story that he is waiting for the right opportunity to make his move, while, apparently, he has decided to hold onto the fat salary and the perks of the office, either of which he could claim to have earned, while basking in the glory of his office.

It is time, South Africa, to rid this country of this succession of worthless parasites.
