Thou shall not criticise the ANC.

It is really really sad, how the ANC has become so arrogant and bigheaded.

Mr Khoza, you are a great patriot and I salute you. Pity that now Luthuli' House wants to tell us what to say and how to say it.

Mantashe is a cowarrd, he would have not apologized to Khoza if the big gunnns such as Pick'n Pay CEO, Anglo Platinum CEO, Mass Mart CEO and other top dogggs did not support Khoza in his stance. We are talking about big employers here, and you don't want to make them feel uncomfortable.

It is so easy to meet with Khoza and have a robust discussion and there is nothing wrong with that however the ANCYL has for quite a long time now asking to meet with the ANC to iron out the differences but they have been shown the middle finger, it only goes to show the kind of leadership we have in the ANC.

Very true my brother, we learned from the best.

Khoza must understand that it is very suicidal to invilve yourself in politics when you have little or no clue. Reading too much capitalist newspapers (Sunday Times, Bleed, etc) can negatively corrupt your mind. Coming out gun blazing against ANC government was uncalled for.

Mr Khoza, stick to business, at least that is where no one will find out how shallow you are.

Just because you're black and you hold a senior and influential position in the business community means to "Goatie" Mantashe and that very ugly communist Blade that you are not qualified to speak the truth against the current direction our movement has taken under these thugs that have hijacked our Party.

They won't be out of government, remember ''C'' stands for corruption.Zimbabweans,Lesotho Nationals and Namibians have been used to vote ANC in the past elections through fraudulent IDs. Ask yourself why we ahve many fake IDs in this country.I Know this and have seen this happening. Voters Ballots are easily rigged. We need a new system of voting, otherwise A.N.C will be in power till devil comes.

Khoza must learn that the challenges and problems faced by current Black leaders in Government are the same faced with Black leaders in private sector.
Capitalism and linguicism are main culprits. So fo Khoza to shift for focus from his failure as Black leader in private sector is hypocrisy at its best.

When he was an advisor of Mbeki he discipline First National Bank defending the government, today he is the one who is throwing stones to the government he served and defended against the private sector ..nx....
