THE public sector strike had turned ugly "because President Jacob Zuma was surrounded" by people who failed to advise him correctly, the SACP in KwaZulu-Natal said yesterday.
"The strike has gone ugly because the president is sitting with wrong people. He is surrounded by people who don't advise him correctly and that makes his office vulnerable," said SACP provincial secretary Themba Mthembu.
He was speaking at the SA Democratic Teachers' Union general council in Durban.
Mthembu said if Zuma had good advisers they could have advised him that the strike would be nasty because workers' pockets had been hit hard by the recession.
"Zuma should have been advised that there was a need to handle wage negotiations professionally."
He described Public Service and Administration Minister Richard Baloyi as a bad negotiator who had caused militancy among striking workers.
He called for the speedy resolution of the wage dispute. "Sadly, for now, it seems that the cowboys are in charge."

Zuma and his advisors are all about who has the most wives,the biggest mkhaba and the most body guards.I mean since this man was made president what has changed? niks.instead his friends and family are getting richer and richer.If we vote for him again I promise you he is gonna be like Mugabe.I like ANC and i think Kgalema Motlante will be a good president.He will be a good example.Phansi ngo Zuma phansi......yo i almost forgot you cant really express how you feel about the president u know lack of freedom of speech and all.

Indeed the president has wrong people around him, the last i checked Min Baloyi said the envelope is broken but R500-R620-R700 and now R800 for housing. 7%-7.5 % this a clear indication of putting their interst first.Arms deal-Billions,World Cup-Millions, Gautrain-Billions.Ministers have flashy cars in Pretoria as well as in Cape Town. Changing of government department's names?New Ministeries were all created at who's expense?The issue of wage offers has and will always be a joke to them. I really don't know who must we vote next.COPE is dead and call what ever you like but i will not vote for apartheid party.Mshiniwam has really changed and no longer the darling of the masses.

@Mantombi order please, u can't say that about the next president. But on the other hand mr. Kgalema Motlanthe must stick to his Setswana/ Sesotho language coz the presidents of France, Russia, Brazil, etc are using the languages they are comfortable with and have interpreters.Going back to the topic - attributes like ABET, poor leadership qualities, bad record and lack of disturbance handling skills are the ones that expose JZ.
Do u guys still remember this bubble gum song --------------- We miss Thabo Mbeki, where r u??????
