The development atNkandla is " a normal thing for a president to do " ! Hahahaaa, these people are brain dead. One must assume that most of these vets probably are not paying tax, so they do not feel the wastage so acutely. The idiotocracy continues.

Another bunch of old losers. Fools to cry out loud. I do not understand what people see in this thing
called the president of SA. He is busy dragging the country down and they support him still. South
Africa is a mad country if Zuma wins the national elections.

When will the ANC cleanse itself and do away with these frustrated MKVA anarchists? The only way to survive for the ANC is to modernize and JZ will never take them there.

@madumod " how do you question his house ?" Really, do you know that it is OUR money that is being used, that he already has an official residence and this is his private home, do you know how much is R 203 mill, you can build a big fancy house with R 5 mill, do you know how many poor people can benefit from R 203 mill ?

He said the regions had decided that Phosa had erred by coming out in support of expelled ANC Youth League president Julius Malema, despite the mandate that the NEC would accept the sanctions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is way out of line comrades, just because he defended Malema then he must be punished. How can you preach unity while you still have something against Phosa? I thought they said any ANC member in good standing can defend other member who faces disciplinary. If member defends other member you complain and when member bring private lawyer, you also complain. What's wrong with this war veteran, is this about principles of ANC or hate on Malema?

Did you want deployment? I know is the culture of current ANC members that you have to support those who put bread on the table (some call it Creme Soda) not supporting principles of the organisation. If you are not afraid to call Malema's name, then you will be promoted. You are taking this movement to wrong direction

To all of you

here are th emerging news few minutes ago.




"The ANC in the Eastern Cape said on Tuesday it wants President Jacob Zuma to lead the party for another term."
"All our regions have pronounced, and taken the same decision... the majority of our regions agree," Qoboshiyane said.

"The OR Tambo region, Buffalo City Metropolitan region and Nelson Mandela Bay region all agreed on Zuma as president, he said."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


So, do we still need any hackling and shouting at each other, all those not happy with Zuma must leave position for ppl prepared to work for ANC

The MK was abolished in 1994 by former President Mandela. All those that misuse the MK name are only anarchist that protect only Zuma even if he is failing. During the past President of Mbeki and Mandela MK veterans were political matured and teachers of the young lions on how to behave in the organisation. They were not given a voting rights as MKVA but as branches of the ANC. I am disappointed by the current so called MKMVA leaders are political bunkrupt but interesting at looting resources from government which was not the aim of the struggle.

@MsKinkyakaKamaSutra


brilliant question my love, I wont be nasty with you , as a saying says "Each one teach one " the point is MK is a strongest arm of ANC that led in the downfall of the apartheid, immediately after apartheid was disbanded some of the members were placed with NIA almost 65% of them. I must say Im luck person to identify some of them as agents which is nt possible to come across such people in society.

These people are still members of ANC belonging to branches, when suppose to meet as MK they do so, as you know that in the movement you need to have dual membership, be in SACP,ANC,Cosatu as well. Take for instance SACP is nt going to Mongaung but they will go there with ANC card , just like myself I have SACP , Cosatu and ANC three cards on my wallet.

Thats how it goes

Dandan - The strongest arm of the ANC? But MK did nothing during apartheid. They were sitting in camps interrogating each other. They played no part in the downfall of the ANC. They were at best a 4th tier fighting force, nothing more.

To all those who don't understand us here you need to read our comments carefully please, we're not saying JZ is going to loose or win at Mangaung as for me specialy but what me and others are saying is His leadership is making the poor to be more poor, his teams provincialy are looters stealing money that doesn't belong to them mark these words "YOU'RE GOING TO BLAME YOURSELVES FOR THIS MISTAKE"

Vetarans are talking unity - what unity if they go against their PEC pronouncement?
Vetarans are talking change - what change if you don't want other people to change leadership?

ANC didnt overthrow apartheid. Only ANC sheep dont know this. It was due to international pressure and sanctions.

These veterans are no longer relevant, i know it's gonna take a while for them to realise that. For starters, they are not coming to Mangaung as a structure, least they can do is to go there as delegates from their respective provinces/branches.
