TSOTSI ZUMA
The employment of cunning and duplicity
in statecraft or in general conduct.
Niccolò Machiavelli
Artwork: Alan Rutherford ... with a nod to Lewis Carroll
Sadly, some uncharitably even say inevitably, the ANC, that bright beacon
of hope for a better South Africa, have failed the electorate by allowing
their president to build up a nest of cronies around him ... but ultimately
now for closing ranks to deviously protect president Zuma against the
charges of corruption and fraud.
Falling into every racist’s dream Zuma, by his actions to ride roughshod
over any legislative attempt to contain his excesses, shows that he does
not give a damn – his behaviour would just seem to vindicate every
racists’ gloating ‘they are not ready to govern’! All of Mandela’s sainted
charm cannot undo this! To survive, if it can, the ANC must come clean,
reorganise ... amandla ngawethu (power to the people!)
The truth here is, power corrupts ... anyone given unchallenged power is
likely to entertain ideas of grandiose pompous idolatory importance ...
ZUMA must go!
