PRESIDENT Jacob Zuma seems to have taken a cue from some of the most vicious dictators the African continent has ever had. He wants to be the only one to bear the title "president".
Leaders of the ANC Youth League and the Women's league will be stripped of it.
This is the stuff of dictators who have ruined the continent.
Whenever they had felt threatened, they would resort to banning any ascription of the title "president" to other citizens. Is the Safa president next in line to be stripped? What about Mamelodi Sundowns president Patrice Motsepe? The list goes on.
Should we be worried?

ROTFLOL the majority voted for it so they must live with it. But when the dictator unleashes itself unashamedly in its next term, then you all must remember that you've been warned,Report Abuse

@Sowetan; I am sure that he is only talking about the ANC structures; I wonder how did you end up extrapolating the same phenomenon to the rest of the country citizens!!!Report Abuse

The dictator does not go around the streets, beating drums and singingand tells everyone his intensions. The dictator is power hungry and
bully those who are against his views. He places his opponents in Kangaroo.
Courts. The dictator demands respect, which is earned. The dictator calls
the Youth of the country, the future generation a “nations of thugs”. The
dictator threatens that those who protest for poor services delivery the
police will act harshly on the them. The dictator remotes control the security
of the country. The dictator will do anything to be in power, including selling
his soul and conscious. The dictator will speak in his inferior language to
the whole nations whereby majority are not part of such affiliation.

@DjEp zuma is a clueless leader hence petty squabbles and factionalisation of the anc, but they fully deserve him cause nobody forced anc NEC to elect zuma as president, the anc will need al the lucky in the world to come out of Manguang unscathed as a party as a direct result of factionalisation and its president being power mad and not knowing how to use said power constructively and to the benefit of the anc and by extension the country,Report Abuse

@somaartakeitWhat kind of a leader would fight over a "name tag"? it holds no accountability nor responsibility. Soon there will be a 2bn court battle to fight for this in the mean time people are stuck. 2bn is enough to build 20 000 RDP houses.
Much as im not a Malema fan i hate Zuma equally, he brought nothing but petty issues during his term.

@Sowetan & Press Club hands off Mr President! You know exactly that whatever was agreed on at Midrand was a collective ideas. But, since you and your entourage Press Club are always putting the President and his Executive on the bad light. You try to munipalte us (public) to have negative inputs against our own. If you report things that you have facts of not to create wrong impression, fueling hatred and ill debate against our president.I am not a party member, but I like to respect my leaders as per God's intruction. Respect does not limit one from voicing out good critics. But not the system/platform you are using to mobilise the public against the leaders.
@Sowetan and Press Club go and revive your mandate of reporting> are you for the development of this country or against it. You dont report good and inspirational tidings. Look every sunday what you fedd us with>cheater, marital infidility, forgery of qualifications. According to me that does not need my attention. You need to tag that individual yourself, they will be found out on their own.
Try to visit good thing and moptivate our mind please.
Bye bye Mr/mrs Sowetan and Mr Press Club
