Good Morning Candy; how do we then get them out of parliament; seeing that the majority of voters in country do not see an alternative party apart from the ruling party??? Remember the ruling party has convinced them that they liberated them. they also have convinced them if they ever vote for the DA apartheid would then come back (it's said the things that people foolishly believe).

Only last year Mdluli turned the Intelligence cluster upside down and we ended up losing three top intelligence officers who either resigned or were pushed out. Three intelligence units were amalgamated into one as Mdluli triumphed backed by the presidency of course. Now he is doing the same thing to SAPS again using exactly the same tactics and again Zuma is both player and referee.

What did we deserve bantu bakithi to get this idiot called Zuma as our president, Mangaung is too far away. This country needs a change as in yesterday before Zuma and his lynch men do more damage. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out why Mdluli has been given the responsibility to decide whose phone gets tapped and whose doesn’t.

I only hope that one day in the not too distant future Zuma will be asked yto explain hios actions and how they were in the best interests of the country. Of course they weren’t in our interest but I’d still like to hear how he justifies himself and his actions. This is a man who has not uttered a single word on e-tolling yet he has the time to fight for and protect scum like Mdluli, nxxx!

Tjo mara anc for dragging these mafias and murderers in our public offices its so heart breaking, to see our country falling to pieces only because current anc leaders are only interested in staying power by hook and crook.

@Mambaai good to see, saw your msg briefly abt mines will respond in detail later as I am tired up (timewise) today, but I want I need you think about is this, if leaders suggest nationalisation, they should come up with ideas how they can make this project work, and how it will benefit the ppl and how they can curb corruption usually associated with big projects undertaken by gov officials.

But personally I think SAns must own 51% of all our national resources, and voters must vigilantly guard these resources against corrupt officials assigned to oversee implementation of these.

I am wondering what will take for SAns to say enough to this BS criminal induced regime and vote anc out, cause its an insult to our intelligence that zuma incl shld think its acceptable to have someone with the profile like mdluli vying for police commissioner job, one wld have thought we've learnt our lessons from appointing crooks who end up costing us millions in court cases such as selepi and cele

I also wonder what will it take for the anc to recall zuma how much damage this man has to do the anc brand before any of its leaders call him to order?

If Mdluli is appointed the Top Cop i will loss hope in the way my country is being run. Selebi, Cele and now Mdluli i will know that the office of the national police commissioner is cursed. so were some how Mbeki might have had a point were he said charging the the Top Cop without consideration of the office he holds will destabilize the nation's security and the moral of the whole force.

Are we fast declining into a banana republic? Maybe not yet; but these things are worrying; especially that they involve an arm of security. What exactly is JZ doing with this joke called Mdluli? The next thing u see him at a May Day rally with top political leadeship! This is costing the ANC dearly. Who is this man? Where was he in the past when we fought apartheid battles? Can someone educate me, maybe I'm desriminating against him unfairly. But pleeeeez, man! Can we afford this amonut of embarassment, JZ?
