Policy change has been long overdue but wether the ANC has strong a leadership to implement, is another question.

I think the key lies in revising the land restitution to Blacks. While a lot has been done, it is not enough. But the elephant in the room is corruption and incompetent cadres - why is that not being tackled. The ANC has screwed up most institutions like healtcare, education and they will screw up any nationalised industry too.

ANC has lost focus and the type of current leaders they have, leave a lot to be desired. How will they make drastic policy shift, if senior members owns shares in the mines or other comapanies. There is a coinflict of interests. Some leak sensitive information to the media and yet they regard themselves as disciplined members of the ANC.

Only naive people will buy into these empty promises or campaining tactics.

The ANC is in need of a radical paradigm shift in terms of infighting, corruption, deployment of cadres, service delivery, incopetence, arrogance, entitlement, the list is endless. Another talk show, lip service and no implementation of all decisions because we are waiting for Mangaung. Sham

No surprises here. Old, but well thought out plan to attempt to stay in power, namely: give the poor masses a glimmer of hope(in exchange for a vote of course) and blame everything and everyone else except the ANC for all that go wrong, no admitting corruption, incompetent appointees, poor service delivery, gross wastage of tax money, screwed up education system, "unhealthy" health system etc.... No, its not the ANC (Governments) fault... PS: JayZee you read your pre-prepared speeches like a very boring teacher, only difference is that those teachers are already bored with the info, you seem like you dont even have insight into it.

This is just a waste of time because the ANC has a lot of good policies but the prblem is implementation.

I would like to know from the members of the ANC what is the difference between the "second transition" and the call made by the ANCYL of Economic Freedom in our lifetime.

Please for Christ sake , give Zuma a tripple Bells what a visionary leader , this has never happened in ANC before a new policy and a Second Transition policy is deperately needed, the worldorder has changed in America for the first time we have a Kenyan as president , ( Barrack Obama ) and the ANC is still stuck to its old policies which are not benefiting its majority voters , Zuma I salute your vision you deserve a tripple Bells.

Why can't Zuma say this is Nationalisation. Does he feel he will others favor if he calls it that way. We are not stupid. My family will never vote him come 2014. I have 45 ppl that voted for him.
The ANC is dead.

I turn to differ with the Commander in Chief, we told him many times that they can continue writing too many thesis and policy document which keep us awake all night as last week I had to finish the whole week looking at our Legal Policy and Constitutional amendment and development in preparation for Policy Conference and I did not even have time to blog but was reading your comments in passing.
The problem with all good ANC policies and strategies are only two things, Corruption and Wrong Implementation.
Corruption in the sense that lot of money is being pumped into those projects but end up in the pockets of Comrades who think that they are immune from stealing and wrong doing I can mention few huge projects like the Building of Power stations around the country for extra cover for growing use of electricity for growing population which Thabo Mbeki prevented half of the money which he spend it on his obsession to foreign aid and disaster fund which helped the among others the Tsunami victims and the huge Project of rolling out ARV'S before AIDS got out of control ten years ago those who read need not to be told about this as is one of the reasons why Mbeki was fired. The other Project was the money which was set aside to redress the fall of Agricultural production for expropriated land and Agricultural entrepreneurship the chunk of money of which was used and squandered by land bank which went bankrupt and now we have to import maize from USA but before that we where the number two maize producer in the world after USA countries like Japan and China as well as EU countries were buying maize from us and we have since lost that market to the USA and Brazil.
The other short fall is implementation of the policies and strategies because of mainly two things which are deployment of wrong cadres at wrong places for the sake of them to control tenders or earn a salary, a Comrade who does not know nothing about IT cannot head IT and a Comrade who does not know anything about Police cannot head the Police, like Riya Pheyega, Jacob Zuma has just scored another own goal by appointing her and five years later as time does not wait for no one we will be saying ANC policy on safety and security has failed because of wrong Cadre Deployment. Wake up ANC we love this Organisation and our beautiful country please Mr President do things fairly by book and leave Cadre Deployment and Nepotism aside when you appoint Ministers and Companies to manage our Tenders do not discriminate on cronyism and Comradeship because that is what failed the ANC for the past 19 years to date, we cannot keep on repeating the same mistake. We are not fools we are watching you remember nobody is invincible, ask Goliath in Bible,or Kamuzu Banda, Mobuthu Sese Seko, Idi Amin, Jonas Savimbi and Sam Nojoma , recently Gadaffi and Hosney Mubarak! We are watching you Alluta Continua Viva ANC Viva, Unity is the power!
