If Malema is a traitor so are a lot of others

If Malema is a traitor so are a lot of others 

If you are convicted of treason against the state you are referred to as a traitor and that is why the silly vindictive and infantile charge of treason laid against Malema by the ANC is a total joke. 

First of all the state is not the ANC and the ANC is not the state. The ANC is not home to a hundred percent of South Africans and in the next election it will hold even less. 

Malema has no army. He has no power. At most he is a dissident. All he has is a big mouth that only the desperate listen to in false hope and false anticipation - whereas on the other hand many in the ANC could be charged for treason and being a traitor against the people of South Africa. 

His war talk and inciting violence against them is only related to the ANC if and when they rig elections. Why when Malema said he would kill for Zuma did the ANC do nothing and allow this war talk but now they don’t like when they are on the receiving end. If the ANC were in opposition they would do the same as Malema - talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Let’s face it in a court of law they don’t have a leg to stand on. 

What about the ANC Youth League leader Collen Maine who threatened civil war and the shedding of blood against anyone who sought to disrupt the State of the Nation Address in February. This was so uncalled for and typical of a tyrannical state that the Congress of the People opened a case against Maine at the Brooklyn Police Station in Pretoria for inciting violence. 

What about the President of South Africa who singlehandedly wiped 500 B out of the economy and other numerous treacherous deeds against the poor of South Africa. Is he a patriot, someone to revere and emulate as an outstanding and upright citizen of South Africa? 

This might come as a complete shock to the ANC and their supporters but there are millions in SA that do not think that the ANC are governing the country very well based on numerous undeniable facts that their dismal track records reveal. The ANC are taking this country down the wrong road. 

They have nothing to fear from anyone in SA, including loud mouth Malema; if they were honest and have no intention of pilfering the tax payer’s coffers, allowing and encouraging state capture, rigging of elections and so forth.

They will even gain more voters if they behaved more like humble and honest civil servants instead of arrogant civil masters. They are only reaping what they have sowed which makes them their own worst enemy.
