DA Leader Helen Zille Uses Twitter To Slam School Children

zillewatch.wordpress.com

We have all came to an understanding that the Democratic Alliance’s leader Helen Zille is supposedly a good leader however her Twitter followers tend to think otherwise. The leader has been receiving rather insulting commentary on her Twitter about racist debatable statement about referring to children seeking education from the Eastern Cape to the Western Cape as “Educational Refugees”.  This statement caused a large amount of outrage as she says that “there is nothing wrong with the word refugee”, however, the term refugee refers to “is a person who is outside their country of origin or habitual residence because they have suffered persecution on account of race.” http://www.wikipppedia.org 

 According to the Democratic Alliance’s Federal Constitution, the DA believes in these principles: http://www.da.org.za

Ø  The fundamental rights and freedoms of every person - including the  right to freedom of conscience, speech, association, and movement;

Ø  The language, cultural and religious rights of individuals and the communities they create through free association;

Ø  Respect for the right or a vibrant civil society and a free media to function independently;

Ø  Access to education and training.

The DA’s mission is to emphasize the importance of education and the right to have free speech; this however is contradictory to what the leader posts on her Twitter. The aim of the people is to encourage the young people to acquire a decent education because ‘we’ say that education is the key to success. It is very unusual for the leaders to discourage the young people by calling them names (Educational Refugees) because they seek better education in another province.

Are we subconsciously teaching our children to undermine those less fortunate than us?

Even though the intention was not racist or demeaning, why shouldn’t they be referred to as scholars or decent portfolios?

Being politically correct is one thing; however trying to correct what is wrong takes more than just a Tweet or Facebook post. The provincial spokesperson Mlibo Qoboshiyane said in a statement that Helen Zille’s inhumane statement was coupled with unfair labeling against school children studying in the Western Cape were further evidence to the fact that the DA thinks Western Cape is a place for whites only. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/Politics/E-Cape-ANC-slams-Zille-comments-20120324

THE ANC’s MISUSE OF MONEY: Does The Party Care More About Expensive Cars and Bashes Than The People That Put Them In Power?

There are many disputes about the African National Congress (ANC) and the way they utilise their funds. Residents from rutal areas are displeased and complaining about their living conditions and children’s education. According to a research done by The Committee of Inquiry into a Comprehensive Social Security System of South Africa, between 45 and 55% of all South Africans are living in poverty. However, their social grants that are provided from the government, and unfortunately it is not enough to sustain a life efficiently.

The ANC however can accommodate guests at a bash that had to cost R12 million on hosting foreign guests at the ANC’s recent 100 year celebrations. What is really surprising is the amount of guests that were there – there were 50 heads of state and governments, 9 dignitaries with their delegations at the ANC bash. http://news24.com/SouthAfrica/politics

During the campaigning for the elections in the year 2008, the ANC promised to provide better living arrangements and reduce the element of poverty in South Africa, due to these expensive bashes and parties that the party makes, they could utilise the funds in building and improving:

·         Houses for the people living in poverty

·         Increasing the social grants monthly payment

·         Educational facilities in rural areas

·         Access to free basic services such as water, sanitation and electricity

·         Providing free and good primary health care

·         Ensuring access to adequate and affordable public transport

The government cannot live on just enough; they want to live on way more than they can have hence corruption, illegal tenders and looting are taking place within the government. The name of the ANC is depreciating faster and faster and this is being brought among them.

Some of President Jacob Zuma’s opponents within the ANC spent the weeks leading up to the M&G’s Anti-Zuma campaigns that has suggested that Motlanthe should challenge the President, at first he was reluctant but now is prepared to contest the position of presidency http://mg.co.za/article/2012-03-02-antizuma-forces-regroup

After this successes, will Motlanthe be able to perk up the name of the ANC? Will the deception of the political party come to an end?

COSATU: SLANDEROUS COMMENTARY AGAINST MALEMA AND MOTHALE CAUSES FEUD. Polokwane

COSATU’s national strike march in Johannesburg was rather quiet, although the participating individuals attended in masses, no unusual activities took place. The Union’s Federation’s A-list and leaders of the ANC youth league were invited and accepted. However due to one representative of the African National Congress, known to be close to the former President of the ANC Youth League, Julius Malema who was expelled from the ANC http://www.businessday.co.za/articles/Content.aspx?id=166245 



Cosatu Members Singing in Polokwane



Cosatu supporters were un-easy about this friendship of theirs and refused that he spoke to them regarding the march in that region, the supporters said that “they will not be addressed by the ANC of Mathale, and Malema who are thieves” http://mg.co.za/article/2012-03-07-no-love-for-malema-at-cosatus-polokwane-protest . To think how the people from Polokwane has been regarding expelled member of the ANC Julius Malema as a leader whom they had put their trust in, it was very unusual to hear the commentary that was said in the heart of the crowd. Cosatu’s Twitter was overflowing commentary after the slanderous name calling of the ANC leader Mothale. Angry Cosatu members demonstrated in Polokwane on the 7^th of March 2012 against Labour broking and e-tolling, caring only about their march with disregard to Malema and Mothale’s reputation or image.



Julius Malema: Expelled ANC Youth League President



Some individuals attended the march not for the initial purpose of it but as a platform to slate duly elected ANC leadership of the province, which is truly a defamation of character case. Further to this the ANC is particularly concerned about reference made to ‘concubines' who are allegedly running the government alongside the Premier and ANC Chairperson. http://www.politicsweb.co.za/politicsweb/view/politicsweb/en/page71619?oid=284970&sn=Marketingweb+detail&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Messages were broadcasted through BlackBerry messages about the chairperson Mothale and expended youth league president Malema stating how the so called ‘lavish’ lifestyle these leaders lived was fraudulently driven. The commentary and views on the labeling these leaders as “thieves” https://twitter.com/#!/RSApolitics

The large amounts of red shirts were standing and singing struggle songs as the intimidated the chairperson, some with threats and some with slander. The Cosatu members showed how the government’s implementation of these issues will affect their families because of the low levels of income they receive on a monthly basis. “The government receives so much money from taxes and yet our leaders (Malema and Mothale) will continue to drive luxurious cars with our money” said Cosatu member, Maria Mudau from Phalaborwa, Polokwane.
