Last week when Julius Malema said NUM doesn’t care about workers needs is busy with business deals and it has shares in mining companies, Lesiba Seshoka (NUM spokesperson) said Julius is confusing NUM with ON-Point Engineering (Julius's company) coz NUM has no shares anywhere.
Now it goes to show that NUM cannot be trusted. When the miners are on strike it is a no-work-no-pay, but what happens to the monies that NUM collects from its investments?

@seutullamakunutu - You are right SA is a rich country but what makes SA thrive is actually its infrastructure.That is what the rest of Africa is lacking.If the rest of Africa has the infrastructure you have right now ,all the immigrants will disappear within a month.Good infrastructure makes countries run smoothly without hiccups.
You see the illgal immigrants roblem is intentional,i believe that Government of the day is somehow benefitting from the influx of people.It is not not rocket science to tigthen somone border,SA can do it if they really wanted to but they don't.Another thing you must consider is that SA embassies on the African continent are notoriously corrupt.They prey on the desperate.A few years ago the Nigerian government had a row with they SA embassy in lagos because they were issing visas to wanted criminals.
The Nigerian police discovered over 458 members of notorious armed robbery gang known as the bakassi boys had been issued visas to SA even though they wanted by the police.This led the government to investigate the embassy and they discovered that some of the workers were taking bribes to issue visas.The Nigerian government made a complaint about the embassy to pretoria and subsequesntly the embassy was suspended from issuing visas.SA embassy in Lagos now does not issue visas directly,instead (after being forced by the Nigerian Govt) they contracted a private company to process visa applications on their behalf.This thankfully has reduced the number dangerous Nigerians coming to SA.

I have all the rights to comment about the maladministation in my country. South Africa is going down under Zuma administration, its a fact. Since Zuma took over there has been scandals after scandals including not being able to discipline his ministers. What's Zuma's reasons to keep Angie in her post. The state of universities and schools is deteriorating daily, one of the best universities in the world .i.e Wits is not even rated anymore we only left with UCT.
@DJ Winner fighting for freedom is not a key to immorality which what we see on Zuma. How many people have been fighting for this freedom and managed to go to school, came back being doctors, engineers from imperial college, microbiologists from University College London and London school of hygiene and tropical medicine, etc list goes on and on, so keep that lame excuse to yourself.

The problem here is us the voters, the people who puts goverment in power. We continue to vote ANC into power becuase we feel like we owe them, what they did back then by fighting for freedom is highly appriciated but what is happening now is not what people like Solomon Mahlangu and the other heros died for, even if Motlanthe or Tokyo becomes president the will still be corraption and theft of goverments funds becuase we are a greed driven country. It seems we have forgotten about them men who have put us into power, which is GOD we have put him aside and put our greed and week minds before him just like other African countries.Report Abuse

@seutullamakunutu....Why do you blame Zuma for everything?
.... because he is the boss and the buck, ultimately, stops with him.
You delegate authority, not accountability. That is why a CEO is VERY careful about who he employs in top managerial positions. If Zuma appointed people who did their job instead of his maatjies, this would not be happening
......................................................................
But when people are doing well, you don't praise him. You shut up about it...You don't praise Zuma for a good work of the minister of planning, finance, home affairs, etc...

DJ-WinnerOy, Susan, why should I 'shut up'? Take it to parliament, girlie.
We have praised Zuma for his choices. We have said that appointing Thuli, Gordham and others was a good move and we have applauded when he has removed people who are not doing their jobs. That doesn't mean that we cannot be unhappy when other appointments are a load of BS

seutullamakunutu + 9janavyI think you both need to be very careful of your statements, its disrespectful to come to ones house as a guest and start telling the owner how bad he is running his home. Its the very same ANC/Gov that opened the gates for you to come to SA. You are also a problem in this country, if you think you are this brilliant, why did you leave your countries without lifting your economies. Lastly keep out of SA politics and be greatful that we welcomed you, I am saying that with lots of respect.
Personaly I don`t see the farse about them signing on the road, these guys are all over the townships, visiting parolees at their homes for signatures, they sign on the boot of the car, next door or anywhere, what confidentiality are we talking about, no wonder these guys commit crime we let them go around CBD, why parole them in the first place, let them finish their sentences & see if we need that building & those officers. These buildings are cheaper than Roux`s buildings.

This is what you voted for :ANC led government .What do you expect from guys who went in to exile to be in the bushes even though they were told in 1985 that negotiations have started and you are going to discard armed struggle .They stood in the camps waiking up in the morning eat and do nothing that listening to what are they saying now .DO NOT BE SUPRICE. Azapo always have expected such .And we told mandela when he did not what to listwen when we say he must bring fought the question of land that this is not going to be a complete "democracy' without ownership of land .Dept of monitoring and evalauation ??????Report Abuse

@Skhokho 21 point of correction i am a south african but a foreigner in one of the western countries, not an illegal immigrant of course.I have all the rights to comment about the maladministation in my country. South Africa is going down under Zuma administration, its a fact. Since Zuma took over there has been scandals after scandals including not being able to discipline his ministers. What's Zuma's reasons to keep Angie in her post. The state of universities and schools is deteriorating daily, one of the best universities in the world .i.e Wits is not even rated anymore we only left with UCT.
@DJ Winner fighting for freedom is not a key to immorality which what we see on Zuma. How many people have been fighting for this freedom and managed to go to school, came back being doctors, engineers from imperial college, microbiologists from University College London and London school of hygiene and tropical medicine, etc list goes on and on, so keep that lame excuse to yourself. Its better if you also shut pu defending Zuma where you know very well he is not worth.

He..he,By the time the people stop voting ANC it will be too late - just like in Zimbabwe. - the Zimbabweans were too passive - now they suffer.
People seem to like the freedom after 1994 but don't take responsibility that goes with it - to get the right party to rule the country.
