The ANC SANDF Flight to Zimbabwe

 It has now been firmly established that several senior ANC members flew to Zimbabwe ‘on a mission to assist Zimbabwe’. The flight was unauthorised under the lockdown regulations and under the laws governing the use of Military assets. It also raises concerns on how the South African foreign policy, the exclusive prerogative of Government, is being conducted by Party members who are not elected and are not even Members of Parliament, as well as the extent to which the ANC considers itself to be bound by the laws and regulations that have brought near-collapse to the country.

The simple fact is that the flight meets the definition of fraud – the unauthorised use of the asset of another to gain a benefit for the Party. As such, the persons involved should be charged with the criminal offence it was. Fraud is, apparently, a standard practice in the ANC. Several senior figures have been found guilty of fraud, and many more would be, if they were not protected by the Party and sheltered by senior officials in government. The situation is so bad that the Judge President of the Cape Supreme Court has been fighting a rearguard action against several serious charges by his fellow Judges for twelve years (!), and is now facing a charge of planning the assassination of another Judge! The situation is so bad that it would be highly unusual for the President of the country, the man who swore an Oath of Office which requires him to protect the citizens of the country, not the members of his Party, and to uphold the laws of South Africa, to enforce the laws, as he would against, for instance, an estate agent who made an innocent remark about the dozens of ‘young monkeys’ on the beach, using words that are ubiquitous in the English-speaking world, to describe young children seen as amusing and cute. In that case, the ‘law’ required only days to haul her before a Tribunal, which levied an extraordinarily heavy fine, and then before Court, for the same ‘offence’, which levied a further heavy penalty. That abuse of Human Rights stands in stark contrast to the absolute lack of action against well-documented corruption by the ANC and its members over many years of its abuse of the State positions held by its members, as well as fraudulent action by others, such as the leadership of Steinhof, both of which have cost the country and its citizens dearly, and in all of which cases the culprits continue to run free amongst the citizens they have defrauded.

Unfortunately, there is little to zero likelihood of the culprits being charged or subjected to appropriate penalties under law.

Ask yourself, if a White citizen were to board an Air Force flight so that he could negotiate with someone in another country, would the same leniency be applied to him? (You can stop laughing at that thought!) Now ask yourself, Why?

Added to the crime is the much bigger concern that the elected members of the Legislature and/or the Executive, worthless though they may be, are not dong the job they are paid to do, but handing it over to members of the Party, people who are not elected and have no accountability to the government or the people. The ANC has ignored the plight of the people of Zimbabwe for decades, sitting on their hands while the dictatorial and brutal government of that country has committed crimes coming close to genocide, bringing the country to a state of continuing collapse, while they bask in their stolen wealth. The Mbeki policy of ‘do nothing to upset a fellow ‘Freedom Fighter’ turned dictator and abuser of his nation’ masquerading under the cloak of ‘quiet diplomacy’ instigated by Thabo Mbeki and perpetuated by Jacob Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa), was clearly aimed at not creating an atmosphere in the African Union which would hold such criminals to account for their action. That was absolute proof that the African Union exists to protect the chummy club of top politicians, and not the people of its member nations. That proof was reinforced by the fact that Omar al Bashir, a man wanted by the International Criminal Court on a charge of genocide, was allowed by Jacob Zuma and his ANC to go free, against the order of a competent South African Court (at a time when Ramaphosa was Deputy President). Do we need further proof that the running of the country, a task entrusted by the Constitution to the Executive under the stewardship of Parliament, has been outsourced? The only question is whether that was the subject of a sale by the President to his Party, the price being the Presidency, or if the President is a partner in the venture to take as much from the Presidency as can be arranged, before the citizens catch up with them.

As an increasing number of people (including people of all races who have seen that there is no prospect of unseating the criminal cabal running the country while there is still some small amount of the economy to be saved) are talking of violent action even amounting to civil war. One can only hope that the President and his men understand that a break from the gang of criminals is preferable to dangling at the end of a rope over a lightple.
