Comrade Raul , I totally agree with you my man. The huge problem that we cannot avoid is the type of Leadership that we have. Whilst we understand that the President is not educated, instead of Comrades who are educated supporting the President they in turn sabotage him so that they can prove that he is doing those things because of illiteracy. The other problem is our Political heads like Ministers and etc, they think they are above the law and the biggest mistake that they do is to hire their friends and relatives at a very top positions in order for them to get the fat salary and when they do nonsense, they run away instead of being accountable and labour laws does not allow us to fire them after those mistake to reverse the situation. How the hell will you be able to manage a budget of 800 million if you are a CFO and you only have a Diploma in Finance? That is a total madness and ANC is really behaving like lunatics when coming to feeling top posts, they are totally out of their mind. Until we get things like these right , our black masses will be poor for ever. You can fund SME's but if you do not have a means and Market to sustain them , were corruption ravage every good deed than you are clearly wasting your time. Report Abuse
We have a serious problem in this country where we always bring in race in every discourse. It's more worrying when it's coming from Gwede Mantashe who occupies a very critical role being SG of the ANC. It shows how shallow our leadership is at the very highest levels.
How does Gwede explain the fact that a white professor and a black teenager were arrested for defacing the painting "The Spear" if this was a racial matter? The country is so desperate for leaders who can work towards uniting its people rather than these worshipers of a cult personality.
Jackson Mthembu also put his cock into it, mobilizing people to cram the court area when the related case to this matter is heard. These are the same people that persecuted the ANCYL leadership for being irresponsible.

@7000000 - I don't entirely agree on the qualifictaions side. There is nothing wrong with someone being a CFO, a 3yr relevant diploma in Finance but coupled with very good experience.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Well if that is True, than what would experience plus brilliant qualification make? Rather go for both. Now let me tell you about what I know, If you rely too much on experience the problem is that , the world is dynamic and ever changing as such you need people who constantly read and upgrade to bring better results. That is why Government Departments and other Companies like yours are doing well but without any vital improvement and development , because you have old experienced brains that cannot catch up and cope under dynamic and ever changing Economic situations which needs intellects and very educated people to cope under ever changing circumstances. My high qualifications with 5 years experience earned me a high post (SGM) in Government at a very young age and versatile and dynamic education earned me a full time consultant job for Petro SA. So can you see that qualifications helps, I am earning double salary because of my education. Which sane Company will hire a 20 year expirinced Financial Consultant with a Diploma in Finance clearly you know nothing about finance because you did not study some of the advance financial tricks! Some of this people studied their Diplomas 40 years ago do you want to tell me that they are still relevant in the ever changing world? A certain Professor in the University of Limpopo had a Doctorate degree in Constitutional Law which he obtained in 1986 and I had a Masters Degree in Constitutional Law that i obtained in 2003 and I had to be appointed to teach and supervise Masters students in that filed over him even though I did not have his useless experience and doctorate because his qualification was useless after the 1993 interim constitution he was bitter and I left the Campus for a huge SGM post, NOW CAN YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE! Stop being lazy and read you will reap what you saw!! So you want to tell our kids not to go to school but have experience only , than we will never catch up on Japan, USA, Germany and China because those guys read my friend, and that will mean they will always make cars and aerospaces for us , but for them to sell , now go to library and empower you small lousy diploma and stop being lazy because you earn a salary and you think studying is no longer important!!

I agree with Mr Reuel Khoza, South Africa needs visionary leadership at all levels. While I understand that there are issues of concern in broader society, I am more concerned by lack of visionary leadership since Thabo Mbeki's departure. The problem is that instead of relying on its own document "Through the Eye of The Needle" to elect leadership, the ANC's focus is firmly now on victimhood and conspiracy theories. |
Jacob Zuma played the victimhood card very well in the runup to Polokwane and many ANC members swallowed the propaganda line, hook and sinker. Now that we are talking about leadership in the runup to Mangaung, Jacob Zuma is again seizing the opportunity to try his well-tested tactic of playing victim again using the Brett Murray painting. Helen Zille has also been painted in the nude but she has responded with remarkable poltical maturity. I am sick and tired of the many victims in the ANC who latch on racism and everything to hide their political nakedness. I hope this time the ANC Youth League and comrades are on their guard. Where are we leading this country to if we are going to elect leaders based on victimhood? It is unfortunate that many members of the ANC NEC who supported Jacob Zuma in the runup to Polokwane also came on the victimhood ticket.
We cannot keep on electing "cry babies" to lead the ANC. Kgalema Motlanthe has never played the victimhood card and has clearly shown that he is a man of men. Report Abuse

@ArtCriticAnd yety there is still 25% unemploymet and our children are living worse than dogs. But its fine, lets use the money to put up toll gates
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25% how was that quantified? The R2-50 cent per small car collected at the toll gates would have pay employees salary, fix pot holes, bursary for some poor youths and the debt incurred for building the roads

@Toivo@7000000 - I don't entirely agree on the qualifictaions side. There is nothing wrong with someone being a CFO, a 3yr relevant diploma in Finance but coupled with very good experience.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Well if that is True, than what would experience plus brilliant qualification make? Rather go for both. Now let me tell you about what I know, If you rely too much on experience the problem is that , the world is dynamic and ever changing as such you need people who constantly read and upgrade to bring better results. That is why Government Departments and other Companies like yours are doing well but without any vital improvement and development , because you have old experienced brains that cannot catch up and cope under dynamic and ever changing Economic situations which needs intellects and very educated people to cope under ever changing circumstances. My high qualifications with 5 years experience earned me a high post (SGM) in Government at a very young age and versatile and dynamic education earned me a full time consultant job for Petro SA. So can you see that qualifications helps, I am earning double salary because of my education. Which sane Company will hire a 20 year expirinced Financial Consultant with a Diploma in Finance clearly you know nothing about finance because you did not study some of the advance financial tricks! Some of this people studied their Diplomas 40 years ago do you want to tell me that they are still relevant in the ever changing world? A certain Professor in the University of Limpopo had a Doctorate degree in Constitutional Law which he obtained in 1986 and I had a Masters Degree in Constitutional Law that i obtained in 2003 and I had to be appointed to teach and supervise Masters students in that filed over him even though I did not have his useless experience and doctorate because his qualification was useless after the 1993 interim constitution he was bitter and I left the Campus for a huge SGM post, NOW CAN YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE! Stop being lazy and read you will reap what you saw!! So you want to tell our kids not to go to school but have experience only , than we will never catch up on Japan, USA, Germany and China because those guys read my friend, and that will mean they will always make cars and aerospaces for us , but for them to sell , now go to library and empower you small lousy diploma and stop being lazy because you earn a salary and you think studying is no longer important!!

Well said Mr Khoza. Let us never forget how we got this current government ; ANC voters allowing themselves to be bullied and harassed into voting for a compromised man by the ANCYL. Please do not let this ever happen again.Report Abuse

I agree with Mr Reuel Khoza, South Africa needs visionary leadership at all levels. While I understand that there are issues of concern in broader society, I am more concerned by lack of visionary leadership since Thabo Mbeki's departure. The problem is that instead of relying on its own document "Through the Eye of The Needle" to elect leadership, the ANC's focus is firmly now on victimhood and conspiracy theories. |Jacob Zuma played the victimhood card very well in the runup to Polokwane and many ANC members swallowed the propaganda line, hook and sinker. Now that we are talking about leadership in the runup to Mangaung, Jacob Zuma is again seizing the opportunity to try his well-tested tactic of playing victim again using the Brett Murray painting. Helen Zille has also been painted in the nude but she has responded with remarkable poltical maturity. I am sick and tired of the many victims in the ANC who latch on racism and everything to hide their political nakedness. I hope this time the ANC Youth League and comrades are on their guard. Where are we leading this country to if we are going to elect leaders based on victimhood? It is unfortunate that many members of the ANC NEC who supported Jacob Zuma in the runup to Polokwane also came on the victimhood ticket.
We cannot keep on electing "cry babies" to lead the ANC. Kgalema Motlanthe has never played the victimhood card and has clearly shown that he is a man of men.
