SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande has called for a law protecting President Jacob Zuma against insults
South Africans had shown little respect towards blacks and their culture, The Star reported him as saying.
Nzimande backed the call made by the SA Communist Party in KwaZulu-Natal on Monday, for a law protecting the presidency from attacks that were “unfair, and lacking in fact and truth”.
He warned that Zuma supporters would soon reach boiling point.
“People can differ with me and you can insult me as you like, but disrespect, that is not acceptable,” Nzimande, the higher education and training minister, was quoted as saying by the paper. “We are being undermined by whites.”

Eff off Blade. The man himself is an insult to his office. He has made himself and our country the laughing stock of the outside world. Back him and you get tarred under the same brush.Report Abuse

Zimande should first teach his communists basic democratic lesson ( that's if he even knows them). I am afraid, Everything Zuma touches has corruption. Since ANC likes corrupted people, he will be re-elected come Mangaung.Blade must preach tolerances and not warn people of violence. those attack on Zuma are not violent.
Blade is a loser

Agg!!!! not the Yellow BMW 7 series Communist again. We cannot have a law todefend a man who lacks the probity and respectable virtues required for the president.
The only law we need is to protect the public from the insult that Jacob is.

It is very important to have law that protect Zuma since he does not care of any disrespect you do to him. In his second term he must express the importance of respect to everybody for everything. Comrades now is enough to disrespect the President. It is enough!!! There are many party leaders need a learning about respect in such a way that respect has been abolished. Lindiwe Mazibuko, Lekota and others are one of such leaders. Comrades his enemies will never gain anything instead they will loose a lot of support to him.Report Abuse

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha now the law must work when is coming to other people? when it has to apply to the man himself is impossible. Mr Blade for the position that you hold as a minister you supposed to know that respect is not something that you make laws to force people to practice it, it is something that you earn sir. Everything you do in life, wether small or big, good or evil all are contributing towards the respect from other people.We both know that the men is being doing the opposite of good thing hence you want to enforce the laws of respect. Do not hide behind a stick of a match, it has nothing to do with whites. It is a rainbow nation that has lost the respect for him and he did that by himself.Report Abuse
