Nationalisation a done deal - Lamola

Aug 8, 2012 | Pertunia Ratsatsi | 49 comments

ANC Youth League deputy president Ronald Lamola says the youth league is no longer discussing nationalisation because they are confident that it is going to be implemented. He said what they were now discussing was what to nationalise first.

Can you spell brain donor

Does this idiot actually live in the real world?

As for discussing what to start with this means they are all dreaming of the riches that they will personally accrue while the ordinary man in the street doesn’t see a cent

Why does the Sowetan even waste paper on this trash

It was also reported in the news that “ Mr Lamola recently addressed residents on the planet ZOG informing them that it is no longer necessary to feed their Unicorns bananas for breakfast as a huge amount of gold was discovered at the end of a rainbow which could now be given to the unicorns as feed. Of course should residents prefer, they can commute on their flying pigs to work instead of their unicorns which would also help to calm the traffic situation. Mr Lamola seemed impressed by the warm welcome he received”.

Help us all, this is the result of OBE education, thank you anc and your supporters, idiots in the making.

So to some idiots in SA Zim is a shining example, I think they must go and sit with children busy dying of hunger, those who survive will not be able to get education, school teachers are rather selling sweets on the streets because the make more money.

How d.umb must one be, look in the picture above.

By the way, why don't he talk about the plat mine closing near Tzaneen because of all the strikes thanks to unions, how many people are losing their jobs.

Like Mommac saif the other day, I wish stupid was painful.

"Lamola was addressing scores of Tshwane University of Technology students in Soshanguve, outside Pretoria, during a public administration lecture yesterday."

Ok so Lamola you are an idiot and that is the only done deal here and again why is he not talking at WITS or UCT or UKZN? Why does he want to take our economy that is by all standards a Resource economy and just give it to the people that can not even supply clean drinking water.

Ronaldo " I wnt Wash" Lamola I agree with most of the things that you are saying only if you do not mix them with Nationalisation. You sit at the NEC and NWC and you heard Ntjebe Mantashe saying it will not be possible to Nat the mines, and you noded now you go and you confuse tersiary students. Why are you doing this?

The difference between the YL of today and the one from the days of Mandela is that those guys back then had at least got some education. Education should be a clause in taking new members of this league, otherwise this nationalization is also going to be given to the loyal and connected and not necessarily skilled and experienced members.

You are right if you cannot deliver you must resign. We need fresh blood that can do the work here, not people who point fingers saying its not me its them. Take responsibly for your action, we all know that education is the key to success. Don't be greedy.

Nationalisation is the very opposite of free enterprise which reduces the prices of goods and services to the lowest possible level by free and fair competition. As long as reasonable profits are available, more efficient competitors will out-compete less efficient competitors, by offering better goods and services at lower prices.

The State should firstly ensure that competition remains free and fair, i.e. that there is no abuse by monopolies and cartels which raise prices illegitimately and unfairly.

Secondly, the State should provide goods and services which are "natural monopolies" or demand economies of scale militating against competition, such as the supply of education, hospitals, electricity, water, sewerage, police protection against rape and ANC corruption, etc. Our ANC Gangster State has sabotaged most public services and now wants to cheat voters by blaming whites and free enterprise for its dismal failure on every front.

Worse still, the advocates of nationalisation also want to put an end to the rest of democracy, which is the free and fair competition of ideas, values and beliefs in an open society under freedom of speech and freedom of association. When all that is gone, we are left with a totalitarian tyranny where the six uppermost power mongers in Luthuli House can do what they like, with fake elections under the Parliament that has already been corrupted to obey the tyrants who deploy them. The proof is the passage of the "Secrecy Bill" whose obvious purpose is the protection of the gangsters who have looted all State institutions with the blessing of the ANC.

Oops! I forgot that the ANC's and Lamola's destruction of democracy also means the violation of the Constitutional requirement of the "separation of powers", i.e. the powers currently held separately by Parliament, the Judiciary and the Executive comprising the President and Cabinet.

That is why the President and his henchmen are unhappy with an independent Judiciary but are very happy with a Parliament whose ANC majority subverts the Constitution on command from the tyrants in Luthuli House.

Whites must use taxi ranks - Lamola
PRETORIA – South Africa will only be a rainbow nation when white people queue in taxi ranks and use government hospitals, ANC Youth League (ANCYL) deputy president Ronald Lamola said on Tuesday.

http://www.ewn.co.za/en/2012/08/07/Whites-must-use-taxi-ranks--Lamola
============================================================================
There are plenty of whites who already use taxi's and when will he be building taxi ranks in white neighbourhoods?

Again there are plenty of white people who have to use government hospitals.

Based on this we are already a rainbow nation?

There is nothing wrong in debating nationalization, even when Mandela came out of prison, he was still talking nationalization. The fact that the ANC and South Africa's best president left office without carelessly implementing a programme that he supported should be a point of focus and learning for the ANCYL. Why didn't Mandela do it during his term? Mbeki was trained in both capitalist England and socialist USSR, why did he choose not to nationalize since he started running govt in 1996 with Mandela? Unfortunately our ANCYL is led by loose cannons, hence the debate is used to lobby for elections. We must hear both Tokyo and Kgalema pronounce on this issue before ANCYL leaders misguidedly lobby for them. Lamola and Malema are pushing for nationalization and the election of Kgalema as president, what is Kgalema's standpoint on this issue? Will he nationalize or not? Cdes Mandela and Mbeki, are still very much alive. The ANCYL must sit with each of them and understand the reasons why they did not nationalize when in power since 1994. This debate should not be used for electioneering only, but to advance the ANC's policies and the country's economy in order for us to deliver on the promise of "A better life for all".

On the issue of Cde Angie, it is too emotional for anyone to call for her resignation before all facts are gathered following due process. South Africa has nine provinces and the crisis of textbooks is only big in Limpopo. Limpopo has an MEC for Education and a Premier, both must account before we even call upon Cde Angie or Cde Zuma to jump. The fact that other eight provincial education departments are run better is a sign that the minister has done her job. If all other provinces had the textbook problem and only Limpopo had delivered, I would gladly support the call for Cde Angie to resign before she is pushed.

Lamola you can talk and talk you don't sound original I pray for the day where our politicians young and old could speak or tell the truth. What we are seeing or hearing these days sounds like children saying "Our Father who aren't in Heaven.... The ANCYL must do research and this can be achieved, travelling around and making baseless statements is an insult to the nation. They critisize JZ for fruitless expenditure and yet they are doing the same things. The youth league of the 40 s and 50 s were interlectuals so they must stop comparing themselves to the Sisulus and Madibas. Nationalisation can work given a chance and understanding. Juju is a rich young man how did he earn his money?

Many nations are thriving because of nationalisation. When partial, i believe it can be controlled.
Allowing for greater scrutiny when international acts come to the fore - as they so often do.
Giant international conglomorates have sucked us dry for long enough. Endless monopolies covered by subsidiary business, disgusting!!!!!!!
Given the raionality of every South African - which we so often forget we have - i believe in nationlisation.

whites are so scared about this issue, let us destroy what is ours whats the problem with nationalization its taking what is ours ,its not yet uhuru ,it was not independence which Mandela brought but a truce , so total independence is yet to be achieved , so real black African must support this,whites did unspeakable things to black people but we forgive them, but now we want what is ours they make noise,its unfortunate that this issue will never be put under the carpet , blacks gain nothing from this arrangement as whites still own 70% of economy over my dead father,only the adopted blacks shall not see this,but time will tell, if they do not handle over the land then we shall take it check 10yrs from now ,it took 25yrs for Zimbabweans to reclaim what is there's
