The SACP and Blade have lost credibility in the eyes of many intellectuals and academics who are aware of what is happening in South Africa today as far as leadership is concerned. All of the sociaist who were selfless before acquiring power are now powerhungry and would do anything to cling to it. The situation today in SA would seem to be worse than it was in 2008 as a result of the tame socialist in SACP and COSATU.
Mbeki might have grossly erred on the HIV and AIDS correlation issue but he more credible as he was never implicated in any crimilnality before and during his tenure as president or leader in the ANC. Report Abuse

Under Mbeki's government the economy was growing at 6 to 7% per year.
Under Zuma's government economy has only managed to grow by 1%

Amazing what people can say when intoxicated by factionalism. How can we forget so quickly and conveniently that Jacob Zuma was actually the Chairman of the National Aids Campaign and had a mandate to move the country forward on the HIV/AIDS issue despite Mbeki's personal opinions. Nobody can remember anything of note that Jacob Zuma said when he was chairman, and definitely no strong statements on the link between HIV and AIDS. However, we can all remember what happened and what Zuma said after he had unprotected intercourse with the young lady Khwezi, the daughter of his friend. "I rushed to the shower because I thought that would reduce the risk of HIV infection". And this is what Blade Nzimande with a straight face, calls leadership. Sies, Blade! Sies! Report Abuse

I find it very very funny when people are doing selective criticism...First of all - What happened to that NGO which was a driving force against Thabo Mbeki when he disaprove ARV?are they still arround?I'm talking about TAC....
You know why they are nolonger making big noise??It's because of the proven fact that ARV's got a dangerous effect on human body..Remember the lady with big boobs?Remember old mom who had to eat ubulongwe before taking ARV's cause ARV's were making her weak at the sametime she is a poor woman who has nothing to eat...Didn't Mbeki and Manto said you cannot take ARV's if you don't have something to eat more especially if you are living in rural area??He went on and said people must begin to plant vegetables for themselfs so that atleast they can have vegetables then buy mealies..In that way they will be eating properly then take ARV's.That notion was blown out of proportion by TAC confusing our brothers and sisters including people like Blade to believe that Manto and Mbeki are saying you must eat beatroot if you are HIV positive. That was not the case but since Americans know that South Africans believe anything is said by them indeed South Africans till today are still believing that Manto said people must eat beatroot to cure aids....Poor souls shame!!!
How many people who vomit after taking ARV's??Atleast today you can report to the nurses when ARV's are making you to vomit and you will be given a pill to stop that..Before, there was no solution hence Mbeki never wanted the ARV's to be distributed if there is nothing that will counter attack the after effects. I still remember when he asked an american company who happen to be a distributer of ARV's to the world. He asked them "how can you give our people an medicine that you know it got dangerous after effects"....Soon after that TAC was born..Who funded TAC the NGO???It's an american company
Yes Mbeki denied that HIV causes AIDS but he was spot on when it comes to the medicine and he was so concerned about the after effects of the ARV...Another point - America is making huge profitts from pharmacy industry and ARV was developed during the time when america realise that their economy will soon collapse..ARV was an attempt by US to save their economy!!!They never care about the after effects hence they were doing anything into their power to distribute them although at that point they never had anything to counter attack the after effects of the medicine and they were willing to discredit any-1 who happen to fight ARV's..Mbeki was the victim!!!
I'm not a fan of Jacob Zooma and ndithi makehle...Phantsi ngoZuma!!!When Zuma said in court he took shower after having sex with HIV woman. I was so suprised by the response of the people towards that...In simple one line "It's very important to bath after having sex irrespective of the HIV status of the person you sleep with aslong you bath within 24hours after having sex. The was no need to blow Zuma out of proportion. Just ask any-1 in Iraq why they don't do sex a day before mosque if there is no electricity on that day?They even made it their tradition to bath within 24hours after having sex and it is line with their belief that you cannot enter mosque if you are dirty.
Another point I wish to touch on but it's not what we are talking about right now. It's Eskom, Thabo Mbeki and the price of electricy today and the lack of supply. That's a debate for another day but I wish people can do research on that and you will see how are we ripped off!!! Report Abuse

Johannesburg - The government gazette relating to e-tolling in Gauteng says that tariffs for motorists with e-tags will be set at 30 cents per kilometre, according to a report in the Star newspaper on Friday.
Standard rates for those without e-tags are more than double this amount.
Quoting the gazette, The Star said users without e-tags who pay their toll fees within 30 days will be given a 60% discount.
A monthly cap on heavy vehicles has also been included.
Cars and motorbikes are capped at a maximum of R550 a month, class B (small heavy vehicles) at R1 750 and class C (large heavy vehicles) at R3 500.
It is unclear when e-tolling will begin.
Government was expected to make an announcement on e-tolling later on Friday.
This week, cabinet approved the gazetting of terms and conditions, including updated tariffs.
There would be a 30-day period for public comment. The government would then incorporate the comments and publish its final position after 14 days.
The 30-day period expires one day before the start of the judicial review of e-tolling on November 26.

Blade is a communist riding on the gravy train of the ANC. We never elected teh Communist party, yet they hold much power in our goverment. Of course he is going to defend those that gave him power and money. But he has a point, the ANC under Mbeki was bad , but hes forgetting that it has become worse under Zuma. Aids denialism was not fought againts by the new ANC leaders, but by peoepl like the Treatment Action Campaing, which had to take goevrment to court to get people Medicine.

Someone should tell the Razor-man to just shut up or has anyone not told him that silence is golden?
He and the goatie Mantashe failed to understand that the rollout actually commenced in Mbeki's time and they can thus not take credit for this. Either he conveniently forgets because Mbeki could not appoint him as a Minister, let alone making SACP to become so close to the corridors of power, or he is utterly stupid. Mbeki himself sincerely acknowledged the costly mistakes that occurred during his tenure but took steps to correct these prior to being removed from office by the ANC rascals. This is, regrettably, what cannot be said about the latter administration. Report Abuse

Its the future,Mr Mandela and Mbeki who valued education are not even dead but we are already allowing less learned people to ride us like they do

Blade has an Inkatha mentality. He cannot face criticism. He does not address the valid arguments that Mbeki is raising. Instead he raises, rightfully so, but in the wrong platform, something that we already know. He labels critics to delegitimise them. But we will not be fooled by him. With his arrogance and immunity to criticism he should return back to Inkatha. It goes to show that sometimes even a doctorate and outside exposure cannot rid a person of his background and the attitude formed in his formative years. Report Abuse

The SACP and Blade have lost credibility in the eyes of many intellectuals and academics who are aware of what is happening in South Africa today as far as leadership is concerned. All of the sociaist who were selfless before acquiring power are now powerhungry and would do anything to cling to it. The situation today in SA would seem to be worse than it was in 2008 as a result of the tame socialist in SACP and COSATU.Mbeki might have grossly erred on the HIV and AIDS correlation issue but he more credible as he was never implicated in any crimilnality before and during his tenure as president or leader in the ANC.

==========================================================================It was Phillip Mhlongo (who left ANC for Cope after they recalled former president Thabo Mbeki) who said Blade must go to Mozambique to search for his father. He said Blade`s mother is Mma Nzimande so Blade is using his mother`s surname instead of his migrant father`s surname. He said that on Heritage day.

Under Mbeki's government the economy was growing at 6 to 7% per year.
Under Zuma's government economy has only managed to grow by 1%
We never experienced economic downgrades during Mbeki's government.

Amazing what people can say when intoxicated by factionalism. How can we forget so quickly and conveniently that Jacob Zuma was actually the Chairman of the National Aids Campaign and had a mandate to move the country forward on the HIV/AIDS issue despite Mbeki's personal opinions. Nobody can remember anything of note that Jacob Zuma said when he was chairman, and definitely no strong statements on the link between HIV and AIDS. However, we can all remember what happened and what Zuma said after he had unprotected intercourse with the young lady Khwezi, the daughter of his friend. "I rushed to the shower because I thought that would reduce the risk of HIV infection". And this is what Blade Nzimande with a straight face, calls leadership. Sies, Blade! Sies!Report Abuse

I find it very very funny when people are doing selective criticism...First of all - What happened to that NGO which was a driving force against Thabo Mbeki when he disaprove ARV?are they still arround?I'm talking about TAC....You know why they are nolonger making big noise??It's because of the proven fact that ARV's got a dangerous effect on human body..Remember the lady with big boobs?Remember old mom who had to eat ubulongwe before taking ARV's cause ARV's were making her weak at the sametime she is a poor woman who has nothing to eat...Didn't Mbeki and Manto said you cannot take ARV's if you don't have something to eat more especially if you are living in rural area??He went on and said people must begin to plant vegetables for themselfs so that atleast they can have vegetables then buy mealies..In that way they will be eating properly then take ARV's.That notion was blown out of proportion by TAC confusing our brothers and sisters including people like Blade to believe that Manto and Mbeki are saying you must eat beatroot if you are HIV positive. That was not the case but since Americans know that South Africans believe anything is said by them indeed South Africans till today are still believing that Manto said people must eat beatroot to cure aids....Poor souls shame!!!
How many people who vomit after taking ARV's??Atleast today you can report to the nurses when ARV's are making you to vomit and you will be given a pill to stop that..Before, there was no solution hence Mbeki never wanted the ARV's to be distributed if there is nothing that will counter attack the after effects. I still remember when he asked an american company who happen to be a distributer of ARV's to the world. He asked them "how can you give our people an medicine that you know it got dangerous after effects"....Soon after that TAC was born..Who funded TAC the NGO???It's an american company
Yes Mbeki denied that HIV causes AIDS but he was spot on when it comes to the medicine and he was so concerned about the after effects of the ARV...Another point - America is making huge profitts from pharmacy industry and ARV was developed during the time when america realise that their economy will soon collapse..ARV was an attempt by US to save their economy!!!They never care about the after effects hence they were doing anything into their power to distribute them although at that point they never had anything to counter attack the after effects of the medicine and they were willing to discredit any-1 who happen to fight ARV's..Mbeki was the victim!!!
I'm not a fan of Jacob Zooma and ndithi makehle...Phantsi ngoZuma!!!When Zuma said in court he took shower after having sex with HIV woman. I was so suprised by the response of the people towards that...In simple one line "It's very important to bath after having sex irrespective of the HIV status of the person you sleep with aslong you bath within 24hours after having sex. The was no need to blow Zuma out of proportion. Just ask any-1 in Iraq why they don't do sex a day before mosque if there is no electricity on that day?They even made it their tradition to bath within 24hours after having sex and it is line with their belief that you cannot enter mosque if you are dirty.
Another point I wish to touch on but it's not what we are talking about right now. It's Eskom, Thabo Mbeki and the price of electricy today and the lack of supply. That's a debate for another day but I wish people can do research on that and you will see how are we ripped off!!!

Johannesburg - The government gazette relating to e-tolling in Gauteng says that tariffs for motorists with e-tags will be set at 30 cents per kilometre, according to a report in the Star newspaper on Friday.
Standard rates for those without e-tags are more than double this amount.
Quoting the gazette, The Star said users without e-tags who pay their toll fees within 30 days will be given a 60% discount.
A monthly cap on heavy vehicles has also been included.
Cars and motorbikes are capped at a maximum of R550 a month, class B (small heavy vehicles) at R1 750 and class C (large heavy vehicles) at R3 500.
It is unclear when e-tolling will begin.
Government was expected to make an announcement on e-tolling later on Friday.
This week, cabinet approved the gazetting of terms and conditions, including updated tariffs.
There would be a 30-day period for public comment. The government would then incorporate the comments and publish its final position after 14 days.
The 30-day period expires one day before the start of the judicial review of e-tolling on November 26.

I dnt wana entertain th nonsense abt Blade against Mbeki but I agree wit him on Ramaphosa's issue."It was rong to suggest tht th lives of 34 Lonmin mineworkers killed on August 16 in Marikana wer mo important than of thoz killed b4 them" Said Blade Nzimande.
For th vry 1st tym I agree wit Dr Blade Nzimande. Only common sense should make us understnd tht th killing of ppl who were killed before 34 mineworkers should be classified as criminality nd tht's wat Cyril Ramaphosa said in one of his emails. Afta th death of ppl tht were killed by striking mineworkers Cyril sent an email tht reads "The terrible events tht hav unfolded cannot be described as labour dispute. Thy r plainly dastardy criminal nd must be characterised as such"
If u ain't hapi wit ur employer then stay out of work nd strike instead of ending th lives of innocent ppl over money. We can't ignore th fact tht th striking mineworkers killed ppl nd in any democratic country, bringing violence nd killing ppl wit any motive, is crime nd shld be characterised as such. Cyril was teling th truth cos u cnt sit nd do nthng abt ppl killing othr ppl bcos thy ain't hapi wit smthng. Ppl get vry angry in lyf but nobody has th ryt to kil sum1 unless tht persn is dangerous to u nd u r left wit no option but to defend urself for ur own safety. In tht instance ther should evidence to pruv tht too for u not to be charged wit murder. I endorse tht mineworkers shld earn decent wage but if thy kil thy shld be dealt wit. #No compromise to that#

Either you are econimical with the truth or liar - lets use your reasoning as an analogy to prior to 1976.After it became apparent that the white government was determine to enforce the use of Afrikaans as medium of instruction to train black to work in factories were they not chased away(could this be a criminal act to chase a governement official?).Destroying & burning down beerhalls and municipality building in townships was this criminal too?Realy indeed "You are either alive and proud or you are dead, and when you are dead, you can'

Blade is a communist riding on the gravy train of the ANC. We never elected teh Communist party, yet they hold much power in our goverment. Of course he is going to defend those that gave him power and money. But he has a point, the ANC under Mbeki was bad , but hes forgetting that it has become worse under Zuma. Aids denialism was not fought againts by the new ANC leaders, but by peoepl like the Treatment Action Campaing, which had to take goevrment to court to get people Medicine. Same way, they had to be taken to court to deleiver textbooks to children in Limpopo.The probelm is not only the current and recent ANC leaders, its the whole rotten/corrupt ANC. teh new cANCer in our society.

Blade is on the money this time. Mbeki can hardly criticise any one else. His inflated ego and sense of his own intellectualism, caused the deaths of many thousands of people. He was also a poor manager - he stuck to horrors like Manto and failed to ensure the handin gover of the presidency to a worthy person, by his obstinate inistence on a third term. We must not forget.Report Abuse

Someone should tell the Razor-man to just shut up or has anyone not told him that silence is golden?He and the goatie Mantashe failed to understand that the rollout actually commenced in Mbeki's time and they can thus not take credit for this. Either he conveniently forgets because Mbeki could not appoint him as a Minister, let alone making SACP to become so close to the corridors of power, or he is utterly stupid. Mbeki himself sincerely acknowledged the costly mistakes that occurred during his tenure but took steps to correct these prior to being removed from office by the ANC rascals. This is, regrettably, what cannot be said about the latter administration.

Once again, you young ppl of this country don't let these guys ruin your future.You are young,clever and educated.
You know what you should and shouldnt be doing
So as you can see that our leaders have lost it.
We assisted them in the past to when they were putting us into this mess.
Now lets not assist them to finish the future of our country and children.
People who had the vision about this country we have destroyed them ourselves
No one didnt that these guys were incompetent yet we put them in power.
Let's value our education and invest in it and benefit from it. We can't allow our country to be lead by uneducated and less educated ppl like this.
Its the future,Mr Mandela and Mbeki who valued education are not even dead but we are already allowing less learned people to ride us like they do

Blade has an Inkatha mentality. He cannot face criticism. He does not address the valid arguments that Mbeki is raising. Instead he raises, rightfully so, but in the wrong platform, something that we already know. He labels critics to delegitimise them. But we will not be fooled by him. With his arrogance and immunity to criticism he should return back to Inkatha. It goes to show that sometimes even a doctorate and outside exposure cannot rid a person of his background and the attitude formed in his formative years.Report Abuse
