Cosatu has called for a three day strike next week. One day against rising food prices. Two days to attend Zuma’s court hearings. Is this really what the country needs? Where do these Cosatu guys get their economic figures from, one day strike is bad for the economy, more than that is deadly.
I’m appalled by Zuma’s acceptance of what Cosatu is doing to this country. The guy is really stupid. Assuming that he becomes the President of the country next year, does he want to take the country whose economy would be limping?
But what irritates me most is the fact that Zuma challenged the NPA to take him to court so that he could prove his innocence, but he’s always trying to find every conceivable trick to dodge his real day in court. He ahs conveniently forgotten when he said “My conscience is clear … I have not committed any crime against the state or the people of South Africa. I need to be given the opportunity to tell my side of the story and bring finality to these accusations and speculations.â€Â
On the other side the ANC’s support for Zuma was birthed in deception and lies. At the time of Mbeki’s dismissal of Zuma the then ANC Secretary General, Khalema Motlanthe said; “The ANC accepts and supports the decision of President Thabo Mbeki to release Deputy President Jacob Zuma from his duties in government following due consideration of the ruling in the Shaik trial.†It is therefore mind boggling how the ANC has had a sudden change of heart. Will they change their current stance somewhere down the line of their infighting!
