Zuma unwilling to cooperate with democrats


The crisis in South Africa is deepening – President of South Africa Jacob Zuma has turned down a request by Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille to publicly debate with her on the state of the economy: “The presidency sees no need to engage in any exercise that diverts attention from getting stakeholders to work together,” presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj said in a statement.

“All South Africans are presently deeply concerned about the state of our country, and particularly our economy,” said Helen Zille in a statement. She said Zuma had not proved himself worthy of leading the country in the wake of escalating labor protests and the downgrading of the country’s credit rating.

The continuing economic and criminal nightmare in SA makes the former mayor of Cape Town Helen Zille increasingly attractive for many voters in the country. Zille is a former anti-apartheid activist. She has worked in all three tiers of government—as the Western Cape province’s education MEC (1999–2004), as a Member of Parliament (2004–2006), as Mayor of Cape Town (2006–2009), and as Premier of the Western Cape (2009–present).

Zille’s work as mayor, and in particular her successes in tackling crime, drug abuse and unemployment in Cape Town, led to her selection as World Mayor of the Year in 2008 – from a field of 820 candidates. Despite her anti-apartheid activism in the past, Helen Zille has quickly realized where the whole country is going. Keeping alive the rhetoric of post-apartheid politcorrectness, she managed to create in Cape Town an asylum for the whites. Her tough measures against the racially motivated crime made her very popular among the Afrikaners and English-speaking whites. Especially in Cape Town, and not so much in the rest of the country.

The crisis in South Africa is deepening – The refusal to debate Helen Zille puts the performing president Zuma into especially vulnerable situation when his party will have to choose soon a candidate for the 2014 elections.

Factions and individuals who might oppose President Jacob Zuma for a second term as leader at the ANC are waiting for a national elective conference in Mangaung in December. Those who accepted nominations to rival Zuma, including Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, are tired with the failures of their government to improve anything in the collapsing country. They were not enraged in the past by their president behavior which led to the rape accusations. They felt comfortable with his chanting in public “Kill the Boer!” But last crisis around the strikes and massive violent demonstrations can cause changes in the mood inside the ANC.

This dissatisfaction with the current regime hits the news and editorial columns in the West. This is what black leadership is afraid of the most. We read in the current issue of the liberal Canadian Vancouver Sun: “The ANC has become a deeply corrupt party of cronyism and patronage. Indeed, holding ANC positions in governments at all levels has become such a sure route to wealth that aspirants will murder to get them. Last week, Reuters news agency reported that an internal ANC report states that in KwaZulu Natal — the largest of South Africa’s nine provinces and the home base of President Jacob Zuma — 38 party members have been murdered since February last year in fights for lucrative positions”.

The press in the West keeps silence about the continuing murder of the whites on racial basis, but other aspects of the regime are becoming known as we see. This is weakening the position of Jacob Zuma in December.

The leader of PRAAG Afrikaner human rights movement dr. Dan Roodt had commented on the current situation: “There is no solution in the current framework. Only a creation of national state for the Afrikaners and their natural allies in the country can put an end to the current bloodshed. We are just demanding a part of the land in order to live in peace and security”.
