DA Archives - Page 4 of 6 - The Running Commentary

Jacob Zuma changing the rule of law….

So the comments made to the STAR by Jacob Zuma in terms of the constitutional court saying “it is not God” have shown the hand of the ruling party. South Africa is hailed as having one of the best constitutions in the world and part of that constitution is the establishment of a Constitutional Court….

Opposition Politics losing focus….

I am concerned that the DA, FF and ID are laying various charges against the players in the saga of the Zuma charges being dropped. Not because I don’t agree with the fact that we need the truth, but more so that their attention is being drawn away from gathering support for the April 22nd…

ANC staged this drama to perfection

I must tip my hat to the ANC and “comrade president Jacob Zuma” for the manner in which they scripted and played out this drama. I am of course talking about the NPA’s “decision” to drop the charges against Jacob Zuma. This outcome was hardly surprising it was inevitable, the decisions taken before Polokwane gave…

English Speaking South African answers JZ

Dear Mr Zuma, Let me at the outset say how insulted I was by your comment that Afrikaners are the only true white South Africans “in the true sense of the word”. I am an English speaking South African, I hold one passport, a South African one. I have lived here all of my life (37…

ANC and the Dalai Lama

It would be remiss of me not to comment of yet another huge lapse in judgement and decision making made by the “ruling party”. If you do not know, then which rock have you been hiding under, the ANC government has refused a entry visa for the Dalai Lama into South Africa. His mission to attend the 2010…

ANC holding back crime stats

So I was listening to the news and heard the spokesperson for justice say that the reason that the crime stats had not been released is that opposition parties would accuse the ANC of electioneering. This because the stats show a decrease in the crime levels. Well I have a couple of comments: 1) When…

Madiba and Malema a meeting of the minds……NOT!!!

Well it was with some dismay that I read that Madiba gave Julius Malema an audience. I would guess that it was to try and provide Julius with some words of wisdom. ‘Oh, this is the man who talks a lot and is very famous’,” Mbalula said after the meeting. I guess this was as…

Why Madiba??

So the ANC, perhaps at the request of Madiba, hauled this great 91 year statesman out to ask him to give his support to the ANC. This was a fine move as seeing how much adoration this man holds in the eyes of the people is truly amazing. I would vote for the ANC if he…

Carl Niehaus resignation……..

So listening this story this morning one is struck with the obvious question: “Why if the party knew about Carl Niehaus’s financial woes that they would even consider putting into this position?” I must admit to be absolutely dumb founded by this move. The party is already dealing with so much bad press around Jacob…

Julius Malema orator of note!!

Education Minister Naledi Pandor “must use her fake accent to address our problems” Heaven only knows why this guy would now turn his gaze to one of the best ministers this country has seen for years. Pandor has arguably one of the toughest roles in the country and here we get this guy making this…
