I have cancelled my NUM membership last week.
The reason is that I feel they don’t represent me anymore.
So far what the interim committee at Lonmin what they have achieve as write now surpass all the settlement that NUM has ever achieve on the mine. Let alone the current deal that was the workers we still tied by NUM.
I think the way forward is just to form a temporary committee every time when salary negotiations are to start in every company. unions failed us, is a fact
Sowetan get your facts right, zuma second term is supported by sdumo dlamini not Cosatu as you claim.

Though I am not a Zuma fan but for keeping Malema and his allies @ Bay I would support a second term for Zuma. That Boy is so insane that he doesn`t even realise that he is risking the closure of Lonmin. I couldn`t help watching ENCA last night over and over again when he was being humiliated in the eyes of the whole world. Zuma`s second means the end of Malema.
If I had my way I would lodge for Monthlante for president but at the same time urge him to kick the hell of out Malema`s A##s.Hawks start doing your job.Speed up your investigations.People don`t get me wrong, have nothing against Malema as an ordinary citizen, but his ideas and ideologies are nothing but misleading.
He is busy misleading the mine workers who are now in their 6th week illegal strike.Hunger is tormenting these miners while Malema after talking r@#$h he goes back and dine in upmarket restraunts forgetting those poor souls in makeshift dwellings @ Marikana.

@ - Muzic, If u wana talk maths let do it...Fine Cosatu their are just observers in the elective conference...
I have no doubt that Zuma is likely to get full support ( 90.%) from these 3 provinces ( KZN, Mpumalanga & Free State) which makes 30% of eligable voting deligates...
Assuming Zuma is gona get 0% in Limpopo and Gauteng which i doubt it will ever happen. As we speak we know that Limpopo elective conference results the winner margin of win was less than 2%..
EC is divided fine the oppossing to Zuma second term won but what was the margin 52% vs 48%..
judging by the numbers i can tell you that Zuma is gona take this one...

One thing I have learned about people who label others as tribalist are actually VERY tribalist themselves. These tribalist are a big danger to SA, they can take the country backwards and lead us to a civil. Hence they must be ignored. Zuma and ANC has done very well so far in that regard.

This is definitely lazy thinking and superfluous journalism. How is the retention of all office bearers a boost for Jacob Zuma when we all know that COSATU is not as united as it was before Polokwane? And in any case anyone who is at the Conference will know that Zwelinzima Vavi who is said to be disillusioned with Jacob Zuma, commands more support among shop stewards than that former nurse orginally from Swaziland, S'dumo Dlamini. So, it is disingenuous to see the retention of the leadership as a boost for Zuma rather than a boost for COSATU unity.
However, the retention of the COSATU leadership seems to have led to some naive expectation on the part of Jacob Zuma who seems to suggest that the Top 6 of the ANC should be retained. This is despite the crisis of leadership in the ANC and country, with him being at the helm. The right of ANC branches to assess and determine leadership cannot be taken away will nilly by desperate but useless politicians who just want to cling to power, but have very little to show for it. Internal democracy democracy and contestation in the ANC should not be confused with factionalism and disunity. The ANC can only emerge stronger from its Conference if it rids itself of "dead wood" and leaders who just do not have the competencies to deliver to the masses (except the ability to sing and dance). The unfortunate thing is that even the most incompetent and hopeless of leaders in the ANC think that they have the automatic right to a second term. They forget that whenever the ANC elects its leaders they are elected for a term of five years, with ANC branches appraising their performance. If the overwhelming branches in the Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo, North-West, Western Cape and Northern Cape nominate Kgalema Motlanthe as president, there is no reason why he should not sign the nomination form. Freistata and Mpumalanga are very small to make any difference in the scheme of things. As for KZN, even the most hopeless of candidates is expected to carry his home province. Report Abuse

That is not factually correct, I'm saying that because where I come from this issue was debated and we challenged COSATU combrates about it when we were struggling to reach a 1000 000 membership b4 the centennail year of the ANC. We were urguing that COSATU wants to dictate terms in the ANC but are failing to convince their members to join the ANC. If 80% of COSATU membership were paid-up members of the ANC as u put it, we would be sitting at about 1,8m members.

Your numbers do not add up and this is just part of propaganda from Zuma factionalists and loyalists. Not so long ago Zuma factionalists were saying that they were winning in the Eastern Cape but their outright lies and propaganda have been exposed with most regions going for those who support change. While there many COSATU members who are also members of the ANC, they do not necessarily follow the leadership preferences of their leaders. Anyone who is at the conference will know that there are many at the COSATU conference who are routing for change.
Let us wait and see what Zuma factionalists and loyalists will have to say when it becomes clear that six provinces are actually ready to nominate Kgalema Motlanthe as president. No one should be fooled by the lies and propaganda from blind Zuma loyalists, also present in this Forum. Let us continuing working for change until Mangaung and save the ANC and country from crisis and disgrace.

As we have been telling you long ago the war is coming nearer, the SACP finished with their conference this week is all about COSATU, strong formations of the alliance, rightful owners , who can decide for the leadership of the alliance, not by organising marakana workers who will not be participating in Mongaung.
KZN is a leading province in respect of delegates, we dont change our mindset , Zuma for second term, we want to make it clear with your factionalists of malemas, you will never get our ANC, you rather go back to your cold COPE, take all these loose cannons who were fired for mismanagement the likes of Cele, Malema, Nyanda etc
With us Zuma we have trust to outs all the so called untouchables in the ANC, who are in the movement for selfish interest, we know why we want Zuma for sec term not because he can deliver the priorities of the movement but to deal with all these untouchables who want to sell our movements for their selfish interests to build bunkers for R60m,, and live poor kids without books.
You and your devil worshippers go hell, we dont care we will tell you straight , we dont take damn any longer, we are tired of being kind with you,
All what we can tell you, take Kgalema with you Cyril will kindly replace him and take the country to greater heights, we know why we have kept Zuma for sec term, all is nt lost.
unfortunately, zuma has never been supported in the ECape even against Mbeki but came out victorious luckily this term he as closed the gap to make a difference of 6 votes , whereas you dont have provinces suporting you overwhelmingly, you are in trouble.

We have compromised eand that is enough. What is happening now is exactly the modus operandi of the ANC. They have devalued the importance of being educated. The highest educational qualification according to the morons is to be an active card carrying member to one/more of the alliance partners, then your doors to a better life will be opened).

For Kgalema to challenge Zuma, he needs an indication of clear outright majority. Being Deputy now he is guaranteed Presidency in 2019. He will not risk humiliate himself, mind you Kgalema is not desperate to be President but people who support him out of hatred for Zuma and those who want the wheels to turn fast for Tokyo to be President. No sane politician can take that risk. Price for defeat is heavy in politics, unlike in sports. Narrow win is also a burden either. Imagine how it is like to be Caslte Lager Mathale being in power in a narrow victory. He is weak, Kgalema does not wanna be in Mathale's position. Report Abuse

Let me advice you my broer, yes you can rejoice now that a deal is very close to being struck without the help of unions as you say, however, one thing that you need to know is that after the increase of your wages, 2 or 3 years from now, there's going to be retrenchment, and there's nothing the committee you elected can do to stop it. The unfortunate thing is, you might be one of those that will be retrenched. This is how the minning industry has operated over the years. They bow to pressure and give you what you want, three years after that they retrench and recover the money they increased your wages with. While you celebrate, bare in mind that you might be doing it at the expense of your fellow brothers that will be retrenched as a result of that strike. Report Abuse

I am neighther of Zuma nor Motlanthe, but I support anyone of them as long as he will never allow Malema to come back, however, i think you and others who hate Zuma are afraid of the trueth. My comrade, sometimes the trueth can be against our wishes. Look at this, Zuma has a very solid support in three provinces, yes i say a very solid support as Motlanthe's backers could not even try to contest. However, in the other provinces that you are talking about, Motlanthe cannot come out and say he has solid support, as in some of them, like the Eastern Cape that you have already mentioned, it was neck on neck, where Motlanthe's backers won by a very close margin. Limpopo Province is going to be very difficult, especially because of the fact that things have changed dramatically since Mathale's controvertial win against Joe Phaahla. I am sure that you aware by now that Dickson Masemola has since changed the allience, together with his region, Sekhukhune. This tells us that if he had changed before the elections then, Mathale would have lost to Joe Phaahla convincingly. Again there are some sub-regions under Mopane which supported Mathale then but now have also changed. Tecnically, you can say Limpopo Province is almost the same situation as the Eastern Cape, it's just that the leadership of Limpopo wants Motlanthe while the people on the ground, I mean the deligates that are going to vote in Mangaung, most of them are now joining Zuma's camp. Whether you want to believe this or not, this is what is happenning in Limpopo at the moment. Have you ever asked yourself why Mathale is no longer as vocal as he was last year? The reason is that he has realised that Zuma is gaining more ground in that province and he is now trying to stand on the fence to test the waters. That tells you he is aware that he is loosing ground and that spells bad for Motlanthe. The northern Cape has not yet decided who to lend their support to, North West Province is also going to be neck on neck, and that tells you how difficult it's going to be for anyone who dreams of challenging Zuma. You can try to convince yourself and others by saying all sorts of things about Zuma but the trueth will lay bare everything clear in Mangaung. It's not about what you wish, it's about what the facts tell us at the moment. You must not be confused by what leaders in those provinces say, it's the supporters on the ground that have the final say. Like in the Eastern Cape, where the leadership in that province is undoubtedly behind Zuma, yet the people on the ground have spoken. It may be the same story with Gauteng Province where the regions might say otherwise. My views based on what is happenning at the moment are that Zuma is going to win and he will do that convincingly. I also suspect that Motlanthe might not stand in Mangaung, he is clever enough to read the situation, and the fact that he is strugling to get a convincing support in those provinces you have mentioned might prompt him to remain Zuma's deputy, knowing that his turn is comming in just five years or less. These are my views based on what is taking place at the moment. Report Abuse

Sure comrade, I agree with you 100%. Motlanthe is a good guy but he is failing the ANC by not protecting it from counter revolutionaries, he has been quiet all along while the president of the same party he claims to love was being attacked by his supporters. He has never said a word in deffence of the ANC and its constitution. I also agree with your statement that says Zuma does not govern alone, he works with other people including Motlanthe himself, so if he has failed, therefore all of them have failed. Report Abuse

@Dandan
Dandan, you should know that my life is in God's hands. I had rather be in God's hands than be in the hands of man. That for me settles it. However, I have to relieve you of your unbridled optimism about Mangaung, which is not anchored in critical realism. At best, your statements are just wishful thinking from a blind Zuma loyalist. At worst, these are the blabberings of a Zuma factionalist afraid of the political wilderness.
I have no doubt that Jacob Zuma will be contested. Young people are just waiting for the 1st of October to make their preferences known and the floodgates are going to open sweeping Zuma away and his factionalists. They will be crisscrossing the country lobbying branches to stop the cris in the ANC and the country by getting rid of Jacob Zuma. I have no doubt that Jacob Zma is going to carry KZN but not because he has absolute support there but simply because people in that part of the country are so intimidated and traumatised that only the very brave will be able to stand up and make their preferences known. As for Freistata and Mpumalanga, Jacob Zuma does not have absolute support there. You should know that the other side did not contest in conferences because they realised that the outcomes were already rigged. In Freistata Ace Magashule did not even allow regional conferences to be held because he was afraid of the outcomes. As a result he disqualified legitimate ANC branches and launched parallel branches which sent delegates to Parys. This issue was brought to the attention of Gwede Mantashe, who has been twiddling his thumbs up to now. And the ANC in Freistata has about 60 000 members compared to Limpopo which is well over 100 000. Mpumalanga is also around 70 000. Eastern Cape and KZN are more or less the same size. Howver you seem to be confused about the Eastern Cape and OR Tambo. Mbeki won the Eastern Cape but lost OR Tambo which went to Zuma. Now this is what is happening. All the regions in the Eastern Cape, except the small Chris Hani region are voting for change. OR Tambo went to the forces of change with 6 votes even after the Provincial Task team disqaulified 100 branches which were perceived to be pro-cahnge but they still failed. Now most of those branches will be going to Mangaung. In the other regions, the "forces of change" command comfortable majorities. Let's not forget that Zuma factionalists have been going arund telling people that the Eastern Cape is in their bag whereas it was just propaganda and a pack of lies. We can also see what is going on now, with Zuma factionalists pretending that they command majority support in the ANC, with these threats against Motlanthe if he stands against Zuma and loses. The truth is that Motlanthe has nothing to lose but Jacob Zuma has a lot to lose and could even end up in jail if his fraud and corruption charges are revived. So, Jacob Zuma is the one who should be advised about the gamble he is taking. If Kgalema Motlanthe is overwhelmingly nominated by at least 6 provinces, he should accept. Jacob Zuma will be going out on a limb contesting even when he has only been nominated by his home province, KZN.
As for the SACP, it is mainly irrelevant and just a lobby group by Blade Nzimande and Buti Manamela, for positions in the ANC. Its membership is not credible and the party only exists in a few provinces, with Blade Nzimande imposing himself nationally and ruling with an iron fist (but watch the space, the day of the red jackal is coming!).
"
All what we can tell you, take Kgalema with you Cyril will kindly replace him and take the country to greater heights, we know why we have kept Zuma for sec term, all is nt lost. "
Kgalema Motlanthe is a disciplined member of the ANC, and the only one who is palying by the book. He has abided by NEC rules and directives. He has refused to be drawn into any factions and is waiting for ANC branches to decide on the leadership issue and will abide by their choice. He is not frantic, desperate or anxious like someone we know, who wants to use everything even ANC centenary lectures to campaign for re-election. Kgalema Motlanthe is an honourable man and gentleman, and will unite the ANC.
As for Cyril Ramaphosa, he is yesterday's man and has been overtaken by events. As things stand, even if he were to be nominated he will not win. There is never going to be a President Cyril Ramaphosa in South Africa, but only in Cloud Cuckooland. The fact that he was prepared to be used to settle political scores with Julius Malema clearly shows that he is no independent thinker. The fact that he is now a shareholder in Lonmin is coming back to haunt him. He sits on all these boards of mining companies and others but has not made any difference. Cyril Ramaphosa has got very little of substance to offer the ANC and the country. Ofcourse, he is a good negotiator, but that is not what the country needs now. I do not doubt that he is a good man but unfortunately he is too ambitious. Ambitious men only care about themselves and not the ANC nor the country. The country needs a Lula now, and the former S-G of NUM and ANC SG, now ANC deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe is the perfect candidate. And come October and November, he should and will get the nod from ANC branches around the country. And we are definitely taking Kgalema Motlanthe to Union Buildings and sending Jacob Zuma back to Nkandla. That can only be good for the ANC and country.
Dandan, you should know that my life is in God's hands. I had rather be in God's hands than be in the hands of man..........."

PAD, if ever you are spiritual you should know that God is in the name of father, son and spiritual, that means he can work through human being to spread his mission, in that sense he has been working through Zuma to stabilise the ANC from the agents of Devil worshippers that is Malema,Cele,Yengeni, Selebi , Mashatile etc who want none other than to enrich themselves only by visiting Augsberg Mitchells Res,OnPoint tenders,R60m bunkers, Billion tenders,Alex Mafias, MLs etc while poor of the poorest kids in Limpopo do nt have books as a basic need for survival.
God is always on the side of the poor kids, he is a creator and saviour. I hope you read the bible well. Kgalema unfortunately is seen at the wrong place wrong time, and caught offside.
To refresh you KZN and EC is not of the same size , how long I ‘ve been telling you last time I gave you stats for delegates attending the conference , you still screw it up, again KZN will bring 514 delegates, EC will bring 420, between these two provinces KZN has overwhelming support while EC has a slight difference, in actual fact all the provinces JZs presence is suffice in NWest Supra is making a huge damage, Limp Joe Phaahla and Lehlogonolo, in GP Nomvula has disbanded all the structures of Alex Mafios , JZ will be collecting all these minor changes to add on what is already on the bag in KZN,FS,Mpum etc.
Kgalema is more worried about his profile/credibility, as thing stands he might not buy the face of these devil worshippers who want to drag his name on the mud, since his defeat will write him off completely in the history books of the ANC, and as DPres of the State. Pity enough you agents of evil spirits who do nt care about poor kids in Limp are blind ,hatred for Zuma, on myself my LIFE IS IN ZUMA to get rid of all these hyaenas/wolfs/tenderpreneurs /greedy people thats the reason I support Zuma. We have seen God before sending Zuma to save poor people from the graves of beetroot and garlic he is still going to show us his presence. I give JZ a mandate to save my child from these wolfs and prepare a better future in the hands of Cyril a man of integrity a custodian of the Constitution of this country.
You wrote "As for Cyril Ramaphosa, he is yesterday's man and has been overtaken by events. As things stand, even if he were to be nominated he will not win. There is never going to be a President Cyril Ramaphosa in South Africa, but only in Cloud Cuckooland. The fact that he was prepared to be used to settle political scores with Julius Malema clearly shows that he is no independent thinker".
Chief, i'm afraid to tell you that you are so illinformed about the ANC, its processes and its constitution, because if you were really well informed, you would have known that Cyril was only defending the ANC and its constitution as he read line by line while passing Malema's judgement. It has never been a case of him being influenced by anyone, Cyril is a lawyer by proffession, he has a better understanding of what law is all about, so no one can ever influence him. Also your insinuation that he is too ambitious is totally wrong. The only people I know of, that are too ambitious are Tokyo Sexwale and Matthews Phosa and that's why Mbeki sidelined them in the first place. Tokyo has over and over again proven himself to be very ambitious by attempting to contest for presidency in the past but still failed, while Cyril has never tried to contest for any position in the ANC, if you have prove of him having tried to contest for any position, you can prove me wrong. The only thing i know is that he told the journalists that he is comfortable with what he is doing at the moment, and he can only contest for any leadership position if the ANC wants him to, otherwise he is fine where he is.
You also said,"In Freistata Ace Magashule did not even allow regional conferences to be held because he was afraid of the outcomes. As a result he disqualified legitimate ANC branches and launched parallel branches which sent delegates to Parys".
Well let's say you are right here, however, we also know that the regions that were affected by this only contribute 30% of the deligation in that province, meaning that 70% voted for Ace, and you need to be reminded that chaos in those affected regions was caused by the ANCYL and Malema's suporters who realised that they were not going to win, so their strategy was to cause chaos in order to get the conference postponed so that they can have enough time to convince more people to turn against Ace Magashule, and the conference was postponed three times in those regions in an attempt to accomodate them, but then they realised it was going to be impossible to beat Ace and they decided against contesting as they would have been embarassed. Let me also remind you that what you are accusing Ace Magashule of, is exactely what your hero Julius Malema was doing in the ANCYL structures, but you are so blinded by your hatred for Zuma that you can't even see the ambitious and the opportunists in your own camp. Malema disbunded every ANCYL structure that failed to toe the line, and expelled those who posed a threat to his position, yet you are too blind to see that. The same Zuma that you hate has never disbunded a single structure of the ANC even those that he knows they are against him, not even Castle Mathale who presided over the collapse of his province's budget, he could not fire him even though he had enough reasons to can do so, yet your hatred for him has blinded you to a level where you can't see that.
You are also telling lies by claiming that Zuma has a lot to loose than Motlanthe, well let me tell you something that you don't know, in actual fact, Motlanthe is the one who will be taking a gamble as he will be automatically giving away the position of deputy president to someone else, and as for Zuma, whether he wins or not, he will continue to earn the same salary as state president until he dies, he will continue to enjoy most of the benefits he is enjoying now, may be not all of them but most of them, so for him really there's nothing to loose. If Motlanthe decide to stand and loose, he forfeits his position as deputy president now, and chances for him to come back will be almost nil.
On the issue of Motlanthe being an honourable and discipline member of the ANC, you are right, however, there's one area where he has shown weaknesses, and that is he fails to stand up at a time when the ANC needs him the most.
You also lied by saying "Kgalema Motlanthe is a disciplined member of the ANC, and the only one who is palying by the book. He has abided by NEC rules and directives".
If he had abided by the NEC rules and directives, he would have defended the ANC's constitution during Malema's disciplinary hearing, he failed to do so and even after the same NEC had taken a decision that was against Malema, he did not support it. Actually if there's any peroson who should be commended here is Cyril Ramaphosa who was never intimidated by Malema and his gang, Ramaphosa stood up and defended the ANC's constution even though he knew it will put him on the wrong side with the ANCYL, therefore destroying any chance of him becoming the next president. However, being a discipline member of the ANC that he is, he thought it was better to defend the organisation's rules and regulations than to appease the illdiscipline brigade that seeks to hijack the ANC for their own personal gains in exchange for nomination in Mangaung. That is the kind of person the ANC need, not someone who keeps quiet when the same organisation he claims to love is under siege from Malema and his gang.

Assuming Zuma is gona get 0% in Limpopo and Gauteng which i doubt it will ever happen. As we speak we know that Limpopo elective conference results the winner margin of win was less than 2%..
EC is divided fine the oppossing to Zuma second term won but what was the margin 52% vs 48%..
judging by the numbers i can tell you that Zuma is gona take this one...

He once invited by the late Steve Biko in the black community projects Biko ended apologing to involve people with the police who were not part of black consciousness. Now these days such people make alot of nuisance noise, just empty tins. what are they doing for south africa except sitting in the comfortable seats within their favourite institutions illiciting their academic rhetoric, they just getting fats and unhealthy every day.South Africa to change for better from all these ill attacks especially from its own people need the real and original people.

These tribalist are a big danger to SA, they can take the country backwards and lead us to a civil. Hence they must be ignored. Zuma and ANC has done very well so far in that regard.
Prof. Pityana and the rest of the Mbekites should concentrate on resuscitating COPE and leave Zuma and his ANC alone. They lost in Polokwane, they must just deal with it. Otherwise if they fail to do likewise Mangaung will even be more painful.

This is definitely lazy thinking and superfluous journalism. How is the retention of all office bearers a boost for Jacob Zuma when we all know that COSATU is not as united as it was before Polokwane? And in any case anyone who is at the Conference will know that Zwelinzima Vavi who is said to be disillusioned with Jacob Zuma, commands more support among shop stewards than that former nurse orginally from Swaziland, S'dumo Dlamini. So, it is disingenuous to see the retention of the leadership as a boost for Zuma rather than a boost for COSATU unity.However, the retention of the COSATU leadership seems to have led to some naive expectation on the part of Jacob Zuma who seems to suggest that the Top 6 of the ANC should be retained. This is despite the crisis of leadership in the ANC and country, with him being at the helm. The right of ANC branches to assess and determine leadership cannot be taken away will nilly by desperate but useless politicians who just want to cling to power, but have very little to show for it. Internal democracy democracy and contestation in the ANC should not be confused with factionalism and disunity. The ANC can only emerge stronger from its Conference if it rids itself of "dead wood" and leaders who just do not have the competencies to deliver to the masses (except the ability to sing and dance). The unfortunate thing is that even the most incompetent and hopeless of leaders in the ANC think that they have the automatic right to a second term. They forget that whenever the ANC elects its leaders they are elected for a term of five years, with ANC branches appraising their performance. If the overwhelming branches in the Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Limpopo, North-West, Western Cape and Northern Cape nominate Kgalema Motlanthe as president, there is no reason why he should not sign the nomination form. Freistata and Mpumalanga are very small to make any difference in the scheme of things. As for KZN, even the most hopeless of candidates is expected to carry his home province.

@Killera111That is not factually correct, I'm saying that because where I come from this issue was debated and we challenged COSATU combrates about it when we were struggling to reach a 1000 000 membership b4 the centennail year of the ANC. We were urguing that COSATU wants to dictate terms in the ANC but are failing to convince their members to join the ANC. If 80% of COSATU membership were paid-up members of the ANC as u put it, we would be sitting at about 1,8m members. But the margin of membership between the 2 organisations points otherwise, COSATU is @ 1,3m members while the ANC is @ 1m audited membership.

Your numbers do not add up and this is just part of propaganda from Zuma factionalists and loyalists. Not so long ago Zuma factionalists were saying that they were winning in the Eastern Cape but their outright lies and propaganda have been exposed with most regions going for those who support change. While there many COSATU members who are also members of the ANC, they do not necessarily follow the leadership preferences of their leaders. Anyone who is at the conference will know that there are many at the COSATU conference who are routing for change.
Let us wait and see what Zuma factionalists and loyalists will have to say when it becomes clear that six provinces are actually ready to nominate Kgalema Motlanthe as president. No one should be fooled by the lies and propaganda from blind Zuma loyalists, also present in this Forum. Let us continuing working for change until Mangaung and save the ANC and country from crisis and disgrace.

They bow to pressure and give you what you want, three years after that they retrench and recover the money they increased your wages with.

DA-DBN-GUYI dont understand how anyone in their right mind can still vote for the anc and can even back a president who is not adequately educated or even morally deserving to lead this country. The anc has lost its way badly and there is no way back for them. Too many are corrupt and the next in line is as broken as their predecessor.

Typical DA mentality? Patronising others. By the way, everyone has got the right to vote for any party of their choice, unless, it has been changed. Secondly, it will take more than the three stooges, of which one was drying a taxi in Alex, for the masses to vote for the DA. I think you are following in the footsteps of your leader, in calling people, refugees in their own country. Not surprised at all.

@ProgressiveAfricanDemocratI am neighther of Zuma nor Motlanthe, but I support anyone of them as long as he will never allow Malema to come back, however, i think you and others who hate Zuma are afraid of the trueth. My comrade, sometimes the trueth can be against our wishes. Look at this, Zuma has a very solid support in three provinces, yes i say a very solid support as Motlanthe's backers could not even try to contest. However, in the other provinces that you are talking about, Motlanthe cannot come out and say he has solid support, as in some of them, like the Eastern Cape that you have already mentioned, it was neck on neck, where Motlanthe's backers won by a very close margin. Limpopo Province is going to be very difficult, especially because of the fact that things have changed dramatically since Mathale's controvertial win against Joe Phaahla. I am sure that you aware by now that Dickson Masemola has since changed the allience, together with his region, Sekhukhune. This tells us that if he had changed before the elections then, Mathale would have lost to Joe Phaahla convincingly. Again there are some sub-regions under Mopane which supported Mathale then but now have also changed. Tecnically, you can say Limpopo Province is almost the same situation as the Eastern Cape, it's just that the leadership of Limpopo wants Motlanthe while the people on the ground, I mean the deligates that are going to vote in Mangaung, most of them are now joining Zuma's camp. Whether you want to believe this or not, this is what is happenning in Limpopo at the moment. Have you ever asked yourself why Mathale is no longer as vocal as he was last year? The reason is that he has realised that Zuma is gaining more ground in that province and he is now trying to stand on the fence to test the waters. That tells you he is aware that he is loosing ground and that spells bad for Motlanthe. The northern Cape has not yet decided who to lend their support to, North West Province is also going to be neck on neck, and that tells you how difficult it's going to be for anyone who dreams of challenging Zuma. You can try to convince yourself and others by saying all sorts of things about Zuma but the trueth will lay bare everything clear in Mangaung. It's not about what you wish, it's about what the facts tell us at the moment. You must not be confused by what leaders in those provinces say, it's the supporters on the ground that have the final say. Like in the Eastern Cape, where the leadership in that province is undoubtedly behind Zuma, yet the people on the ground have spoken. It may be the same story with Gauteng Province where the regions might say otherwise. My views based on what is happenning at the moment are that Zuma is going to win and he will do that convincingly. I also suspect that Motlanthe might not stand in Mangaung, he is clever enough to read the situation, and the fact that he is strugling to get a convincing support in those provinces you have mentioned might prompt him to remain Zuma's deputy, knowing that his turn is comming in just five years or less. These are my views based on what is taking place at the moment.

@Patsekgmy chief retaining Kgalema wont solve the situation on the long term goal of the anc, the solution is to get rid of Kgalema , for us he has demonstrated strongly to be hypocrite for not coming out clear what his position in this blood bath we are seeing day in/out. The solution is drag on Cyril as a man who was supposed to take over from Mandela, we cant bet on Kgalema knowing very well these hyaenas/wolfs will suffice from hiden, the like of Malema, Yengeni,Nyanda,Cele etc to keep these hyaenas in the caves forever substitute with Cyril , definately sure after 15 yrs some will have die.d naturally.

@DandanSure comrade, I agree with you 100%. Motlanthe is a good guy but he is failing the ANC by not protecting it from counter revolutionaries, he has been quiet all along while the president of the same party he claims to love was being attacked by his supporters. He has never said a word in deffence of the ANC and its constitution. I also agree with your statement that says Zuma does not govern alone, he works with other people including Motlanthe himself, so if he has failed, therefore all of them have failed.

@DandanDandan, you should know that my life is in God's hands. I had rather be in God's hands than be in the hands of man. That for me settles it. However, I have to relieve you of your unbridled optimism about Mangaung, which is not anchored in critical realism. At best, your statements are just wishful thinking from a blind Zuma loyalist. At worst, these are the blabberings of a Zuma factionalist afraid of the political wilderness.
I have no doubt that Jacob Zuma will be contested. Young people are just waiting for the 1st of October to make their preferences known and the floodgates are going to open sweeping Zuma away and his factionalists. They will be crisscrossing the country lobbying branches to stop the cris in the ANC and the country by getting rid of Jacob Zuma. I have no doubt that Jacob Zma is going to carry KZN but not because he has absolute support there but simply because people in that part of the country are so intimidated and traumatised that only the very brave will be able to stand up and make their preferences known. As for Freistata and Mpumalanga, Jacob Zuma does not have absolute support there. You should know that the other side did not contest in conferences because they realised that the outcomes were already rigged. In Freistata Ace Magashule did not even allow regional conferences to be held because he was afraid of the outcomes. As a result he disqualified legitimate ANC branches and launched parallel branches which sent delegates to Parys. This issue was brought to the attention of Gwede Mantashe, who has been twiddling his thumbs up to now. And the ANC in Freistata has about 60 000 members compared to Limpopo which is well over 100 000. Mpumalanga is also around 70 000. Eastern Cape and KZN are more or less the same size. Howver you seem to be confused about the Eastern Cape and OR Tambo. Mbeki won the Eastern Cape but lost OR Tambo which went to Zuma. Now this is what is happening. All the regions in the Eastern Cape, except the small Chris Hani region are voting for change. OR Tambo went to the forces of change with 6 votes even after the Provincial Task team disqaulified 100 branches which were perceived to be pro-cahnge but they still failed. Now most of those branches will be going to Mangaung. In the other regions, the "forces of change" command comfortable majorities. Let's not forget that Zuma factionalists have been going arund telling people that the Eastern Cape is in their bag whereas it was just propaganda and a pack of lies. We can also see what is going on now, with Zuma factionalists pretending that they command majority support in the ANC, with these threats against Motlanthe if he stands against Zuma and loses. The truth is that Motlanthe has nothing to lose but Jacob Zuma has a lot to lose and could even end up in jail if his fraud and corruption charges are revived. So, Jacob Zuma is the one who should be advised about the gamble he is taking. If Kgalema Motlanthe is overwhelmingly nominated by at least 6 provinces, he should accept. Jacob Zuma will be going out on a limb contesting even when he has only been nominated by his home province, KZN.
As for the SACP, it is mainly irrelevant and just a lobby group by Blade Nzimande and Buti Manamela, for positions in the ANC. Its membership is not credible and the party only exists in a few provinces, with Blade Nzimande imposing himself nationally and ruling with an iron fist (but watch the space, the day of the red jackal is coming!).

@Dandan"
All what we can tell you, take Kgalema with you Cyril will kindly replace him and take the country to greater heights, we know why we have kept Zuma for sec term, all is nt lost. "
Kgalema Motlanthe is a disciplined member of the ANC, and the only one who is palying by the book. He has abided by NEC rules and directives. He has refused to be drawn into any factions and is waiting for ANC branches to decide on the leadership issue and will abide by their choice. He is not frantic, desperate or anxious like someone we know, who wants to use everything even ANC centenary lectures to campaign for re-election. Kgalema Motlanthe is an honourable man and gentleman, and will unite the ANC.
As for Cyril Ramaphosa, he is yesterday's man and has been overtaken by events. As things stand, even if he were to be nominated he will not win. There is never going to be a President Cyril Ramaphosa in South Africa, but only in Cloud Cuckooland. The fact that he was prepared to be used to settle political scores with Julius Malema clearly shows that he is no independent thinker. The fact that he is now a shareholder in Lonmin is coming back to haunt him. He sits on all these boards of mining companies and others but has not made any difference. Cyril Ramaphosa has got very little of substance to offer the ANC and the country. Ofcourse, he is a good negotiator, but that is not what the country needs now. I do not doubt that he is a good man but unfortunately he is too ambitious. Ambitious men only care about themselves and not the ANC nor the country. The country needs a Lula now, and the former S-G of NUM and ANC SG, now ANC deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe is the perfect candidate. And come October and November, he should and will get the nod from ANC branches around the country. And we are definitely taking Kgalema Motlanthe to Union Buildings and sending Jacob Zuma back to Nkandla. That can only be good for the ANC and country.

PAD, if ever you are spiritual you should know that God is in the name of father, son and spiritual, that means he can work through human being to spread his mission, in that sense he has been working through Zuma to stabilise the ANC from the agents of Devil worshippers that is Malema,Cele,Yengeni, Selebi , Mashatile etc who want none other than to enrich themselves only by visiting Augsberg Mitchells Res,OnPoint tenders,R60m bunkers, Billion tenders,Alex Mafias, MLs etc while poor of the poorest kids in Limpopo do nt have books as a basic need for survival.
God is always on the side of the poor kids, he is a creator and saviour. I hope you read the bible well. Kgalema unfortunately is seen at the wrong place wrong time, and caught offside.
To refresh you KZN and EC is not of the same size , how long I ‘ve been telling you last time I gave you stats for delegates attending the conference , you still screw it up, again KZN will bring 514 delegates, EC will bring 420, between these two provinces KZN has overwhelming support while EC has a slight difference, in actual fact all the provinces JZs presence is suffice in NWest Supra is making a huge damage, Limp Joe Phaahla and Lehlogonolo, in GP Nomvula has disbanded all the structures of Alex Mafios , JZ will be collecting all these minor changes to add on what is already on the bag in KZN,FS,Mpum etc.
Kgalema is more worried about his profile/credibility, as thing stands he might not buy the face of these devil worshippers who want to drag his name on the mud, since his defeat will write him off completely in the history books of the ANC, and as DPres of the State. Pity enough you agents of evil spirits who do nt care about poor kids in Limp are blind ,hatred for Zuma, on myself my LIFE IS IN ZUMA to get rid of all these hyaenas/wolfs/tenderpreneurs /greedy people thats the reason I support Zuma. We have seen God before sending Zuma to save poor people from the graves of beetroot and garlic he is still going to show us his presence. I give JZ a mandate to save my child from these wolfs and prepare a better future in the hands of Cyril a man of integrity a custodian of the Constitution of this country.

Chief, i'm afraid to tell you that you are so illinformed about the ANC, its processes and its constitution, because if you were really well informed, you would have known that Cyril was only defending the ANC and its constitution as he read line by line while passing Malema's judgement. It has never been a case of him being influenced by anyone, Cyril is a lawyer by proffession, he has a better understanding of what law is all about, so no one can ever influence him. Also your insinuation that he is too ambitious is totally wrong. The only people I know of, that are too ambitious are Tokyo Sexwale and Matthews Phosa and that's why Mbeki sidelined them in the first place. Tokyo has over and over again proven himself to be very ambitious by attempting to contest for presidency in the past but still failed, while Cyril has never tried to contest for any position in the ANC, if you have prove of him having tried to contest for any position, you can prove me wrong. The only thing i know is that he told the journalists that he is comfortable with what he is doing at the moment, and he can only contest for any leadership position if the ANC wants him to, otherwise he is fine where he is.
You also said,"In Freistata Ace Magashule did not even allow regional conferences to be held because he was afraid of the outcomes. As a result he disqualified legitimate ANC branches and launched parallel branches which sent delegates to Parys".
Well let's say you are right here, however, we also know that the regions that were affected by this only contribute 30% of the deligation in that province, meaning that 70% voted for Ace, and you need to be reminded that chaos in those affected regions was caused by the ANCYL and Malema's suporters who realised that they were not going to win, so their strategy was to cause chaos in order to get the conference postponed so that they can have enough time to convince more people to turn against Ace Magashule, and the conference was postponed three times in those regions in an attempt to accomodate them, but then they realised it was going to be impossible to beat Ace and they decided against contesting as they would have been embarassed. Let me also remind you that what you are accusing Ace Magashule of, is exactely what your hero Julius Malema was doing in the ANCYL structures, but you are so blinded by your hatred for Zuma that you can't even see the ambitious and the opportunists in your own camp. Malema disbunded every ANCYL structure that failed to toe the line, and expelled those who posed a threat to his position, yet you are too blind to see that. The same Zuma that you hate has never disbunded a single structure of the ANC even those that he knows they are against him, not even Castle Mathale who presided over the collapse of his province's budget, he could not fire him even though he had enough reasons to can do so, yet your hatred for him has blinded you to a level where you can't see that.
You are also telling lies by claiming that Zuma has a lot to loose than Motlanthe, well let me tell you something that you don't know, in actual fact, Motlanthe is the one who will be taking a gamble as he will be automatically giving away the position of deputy president to someone else, and as for Zuma, whether he wins or not, he will continue to earn the same salary as state president until he dies, he will continue to enjoy most of the benefits he is enjoying now, may be not all of them but most of them, so for him really there's nothing to loose. If Motlanthe decide to stand and loose, he forfeits his position as deputy president now, and chances for him to come back will be almost nil.
On the issue of Motlanthe being an honourable and discipline member of the ANC, you are right, however, there's one area where he has shown weaknesses, and that is he fails to stand up at a time when the ANC needs him the most.
You also lied by saying "Kgalema Motlanthe is a disciplined member of the ANC, and the only one who is palying by the book. He has abided by NEC rules and directives".
If he had abided by the NEC rules and directives, he would have defended the ANC's constitution during Malema's disciplinary hearing, he failed to do so and even after the same NEC had taken a decision that was against Malema, he did not support it. Actually if there's any peroson who should be commended here is Cyril Ramaphosa who was never intimidated by Malema and his gang, Ramaphosa stood up and defended the ANC's constution even though he knew it will put him on the wrong side with the ANCYL, therefore destroying any chance of him becoming the next president. However, being a discipline member of the ANC that he is, he thought it was better to defend the organisation's rules and regulations than to appease the illdiscipline brigade that seeks to hijack the ANC for their own personal gains in exchange for nomination in Mangaung. That is the kind of person the ANC need, not someone who keeps quiet when the same organisation he claims to love is under siege from Malema and his gang.
