Zuma is visiting Botswana despite the crisis in the mines ? The mission is to make sure that the case Malema opened dissappears in thin air. Zuma is always up to no good, he never trusted judges, wanted to control the judicial system for people who went through a pile of books and equip themselves academically, forgetting that they do not need his permission to make decisions, they went to school but not elected.Zuma does not listen to his legal advisers people he makes decisions and inform them later most of the time the damage is done.

Julius did not cause the killings at marikana, he went there after tragedy like any other politician.
Cyril has been quiet knowing that our people are being exploited, he should be ashamed of himself. I lost trust in him since this marikana massacre now he claims all are responsible. HE IS responsible for not standing up for a better wage for miners, he knows this union representation his experience should have benefited the poor miners but not exploit them to make lonmin richer.
Now we can see what the late steve tshwete was saying about cyril .....

I really am disgusted at the lows that our journalists go to to get headlines.
Where does waiting for the conclusion of the court case suddenly morph into a blanket firing? Of course those who are convicted of murder or violent intimidation should be fired. That is, however, for the court to decide - not hack newspaper writers

The opportunist Malema just jump to any occasion that can put him on lame light. What a desperate move by a desperate person. He is dying a slow death. Come Mangaung he will be silenced forever, just like Mbazima Shilowa.

This will only cause more problems, those who are hired will become targets and there will be more bloodshed, what happened to innocent till proven guilty. This shows that overseas companies only care about profits ( we can replace you anytime attitude) they fail to give the workers a sense of job security they only care about you for as long as you are profitable if not they discard you
