ANC misses golden opportunity to fire Zuma

The ANC National Executive Committee met for two days over the past weekend to deliberate on numerous crucial issues afflicting the well-being of our young democracy and beautiful country.

One of those many things is the critical issue of the ‘state capture’ which currently affects the good functioning of our state and its executive.

Everybody waited for the outcome of the deliberations with bated breath, convinced that enough evidence of misdemeanours had been tabled to convince the ruling elite of the ANC that our number one citizen was bad news. The president has become the common denominator in many evils bedevilling our country, from Nkandlagate to the numerous Guptagates, ranging from their landing at our national key point without authorisation, to their hand in the appointment and firing of our ministers.

As if that alone was not enough, the number of the passengers on that plane is unknown and their whereabouts continue to be a mystery. To add insult to injury, all of those unknown passengers on that plane had no passports, hence they cannot be accounted for. Up to today, we don’t know what they were carrying in their heavily laden wheeled suitcases and bags as they were never subjected to any form of customs procedures as is the norm for anyone coming into the country.

Is it by mere coincidence that Gupta friends of our number one citizen landed at our national key point without authorisation, landed without passports and disappeared into the wilderness with unknown items in their loaded suitcases and bags?

It is only our president who can try to dismiss all this as a storm in a teacup. But I am sure, had anybody else landed on that key point without authorisation, chances are they would have been locked up quicker than they landed, that is, if they were lucky enough not to have their plane bullet-riddled before it could even touch down.

It can only be our number one citizen who pleads ignorance, saying that someone had built the extra houses and other non-security features on his property without his knowledge. When you hire someone to do some work on your property and they suddenly deviate from what you agreed upon, and you don’t question … is that logical?

I fully agree with our leader that he, and only he, appoints or fires cabinet ministers, but the million dollar question remains: On whose advice does he appoint and fire those ministers? It is the very same ministers, Mr President, that you hired and fired who are telling us on whose orders (or you would like us to call it advice) they were hired and fired.

And so the ANC still wants evidence! The only evidence we can give the ANC now is that we know our number one citizen butters your bread and that you will do everything to protect him so that he can continue to butter that bread of yours.

But what I am sorry about is that you passed a golden opportunity to fix the broken president so that he does not do us and the country any more harm.
