The ANC Takes Life-time Decisions

Following the expulsion of Julius Sello Malema, the ANC continues to become radical in attempt to reduce corruption within the national party. The Republic of South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma received a letter form Lieutenant General saying that he would assist the president to succeed this year if he was reinstated to the position of crime intelligence boss and forwarded that letter to the necessary people. http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica

The rate in which corruption has been taking place within our political government has put certain political parties and jeopardy.

It generally looks as if the president is tired of these scandals and unjust behavior of his colleagues. I think that it is about time the ANC took initiative and amplified the name of the Republic and show people the seriousness of governance, in this way, political leaders will be recognized and not just for their knowledge but also for their dedication and political drive that the individual possesses.

Pule Mabe

This week the ANC Youth League’s treasurer-general Pule Mabe was also voted out of the league with a no confidence vote which also stirred up emotions between him and the party. He threatened violence as he realised that he was in trouble and could not defend his position.

The ANC was known to be a relaxed and corrupt party by members of the opposing parties and also the citizins of South Africa, however this notion of the people will slowly but surely change if the party continues to radicalize their efforts of taking issues and implementing a strategy. Mabe and Malema’s personal involvement played a huge role in making the final decision, as supporters began an impassioned exchange with those who voted against his expulsion. While this led to police summoning, Mabe left the scene for his angry supporters to stay and ‘polish’ it.

It has been raised in office that the ANC must review the expulsion of former Youth League President Julius Malema, due to his utter misbehaviour, despite the League’s demand for the president to return, his expulsion will remain the way it is. http://www.iol.co.za/dailynews/news/anc-dismisses-call-for-malema-s-reintsatement

However, if the National Congress allows Malema’s reinstatement, the entire Congress will increase the levels of corruption based on the fact that if they are caught, they can and will be reinstated like the Youth League President Julius Malema.

IS GAUTRAIN AND E-TOLLING REALLY FOR THE RICH?

The South African government works very hard to alleviate poverty and work to create jobs for less fortunate people, but the South African Communist Party’s general secretary, Blade Nzimande feels different about this. On Tuesday the 1^st of May, he said that the e-tolling system and the Gautrain are for the richer people of Gauteng because of the routes it takes. “The Gautrain does not go into the townships of Gauteng,” he said. However what he does not continue to ask himself is, would those people that reside in the townships make use of this mode of transport? http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Gautrain

There are lots of public transportation available everywhere and for everyone. The Gautrain travels from Pretoria to Johannesburg to assist workers from the different cities to get to work on time and enjoy that with luxury and comfort. At the end of the day people must understand that luxury comes with a price, hence the routes of the Gautrain follows through in this way. If it went through the townships, would they want to pay just about three times more than they pay for their taxi services and Metrorail trains?

Most of the key components of the Gautrain are women and business men, according to South African Police’s source of information on crime, a number of criminals reside in the townships of Johannesburg than the middle or higher income group. The routes of the Gautrain were also thought of and calculated to reduce the number of potential risks that we face in our societies. Already there are controversies and shooting incidents that took place on Monday in Rooihuiskraal where the bus driver of the Gautrain shuttle service was shot. To reduce such things from happening the routes that the train takes are key; as much as the general secretary of the SACP has good intentions with his motion, it was not well thought through because the implications of adding routes to the townships would:

• Reduce the safety of the passengers
• Increase crime
• Harrasment of passangers
• Proper explanation of route calculation and allocation
• Increase costs of travelling
• Theft of cables
• Inadequate and untrusted security

Befor the Gautrain can hit the townships, Mzimande must first understand the potential risks that might take place...
