I would like to express my disappointment in ANC and their MP`s. They are abusing their majority votes which were given in bona fide by South African citizen. I believe that each and every person who voted ANC into power in the last election had their own reasons to do so and I respect that, but none of them voted them to undermine democracy and freedom of speech in parliament.
This is exactly what ANC is doing, they are bully, they don`t want to listen to any other person except themselves, as far as one of the characteristics of a good leader is a person`s ability to listen. Ok, let me explain this one. There is a difference between listening and hearing. You can hear and heard about 300 sounds at the same time but you can`t listen to all of them. Listening require a person to pay attention to details digest and understand what there are hearing. I am not sure if ANC MP`s are willing to do that.
EFF MP`s were not voted nor deployed by ANC to be in parliament. They were voted by EFF supporters and member`s so they can only be recalled and be disciplined by EFF or suspended by EFF.
I am not supporting what EFF MP`s have done in parliament. There are so many ways in which they could have used to show their dissatisfaction with Zuma`s answers, to questions posed to him only if ANC have opened a room for that, in this case they didn’t.
Yes they were supposed to be called to a disciplinary committee, because they broke the rules of the House. Even EFF as a party supposed in its code of conduct have clauses that deal with misbehavior of its MP`s in parliament. They deployed them they must monitor them.
The way a committee was appointed it is clear that EFF MP`s were not going to be treated fair, that’s why they refused to stand in front of the committee. They went on and gave the reasons why they can`t stand in front of the committee which was also good things to do. One the most important reason was that a committee is made up of ANC MP`s who are in defense of their president and make majority of members of that particular committee.
Why don`t you have one person in each party as part of committee so that we all know the outcomes were just and not manipulated or decided in Luthuli House
But all those reasons were not listened to, but were only heard.
I am not going to waste time talking about ANC and their mistakes what is done is done. Now let me remind you the rise of ANC president JZ (Jacob Zuma). JZ was suspended as the president of the country, he used that time to campaign against TM (Thabo Mbeki) who was busy in parliament he used to visit Universities, business conference and he also have the time to meet the poor of the poorest because he has all the time to do so. He was at that time still deputy president of ANC, he visited provincial structures of ANC, branches and he mobilized all the support that he could get more especially using former MP`s who were not appointed into their positions by TM in his second term of office and that made me to be the President today. He with his puppets went on to suspend JM(Julius Malema) who also didn`t have anything to loose since he is out of ANC. JM started his political party from nothing and not afraid of losing anything because he had nothing. Malema had 8 months to prepare for election but he went on to be number 3 which was a huge achievement. That does not end there he entered parliament and made Zuma`s place of work to be Hell. In such a way that he has been absconding to report in parliament. That is very sad. He went on to send his MP`s to vote in favor of EFF MP`s suspension.
These guys now won`t be having a duty to report in Cape Town but they are free to go around other provinces mobilizing the masses. They will spread each other across the country conducting political lectures. They will have a time to sit down and look and resolve the conflicts that are within their party.
They will build more houses next to Zuma`s Nkandla, what make things worse is that they are suspended without remunerations. They will organize business launches and seek fund which will make them to have ties with businessman and strength their organization.
I thought Zuma should have known better that a suspension is a blessing in overalls. This time they are red. You give these people time to consult political expects. When EFF come back in parliament they will come back much stronger than they were before suspension.
NB
-I have referred to the powers and privileges committee as committee because that is not how it was supposed to be. My definition of committee will be a group of unnecessary people busy doing or discussing unnecessary things.
-I also referred to Zuma as president of ANC not of the country because in my view he does not represent the interest of the country those of ANC bro`s and himself.
