TELLING THE TRUTH WILL SET US ALL FREE By: Kaizer Mohau
The ongoing political challenges facing our country have over this past weekend proved that those behind this crisis do not have an iota of understanding about telling truth. Terror Lekota demonstrated to all democracy loving people that he is very far from being honest about their real intentions of leaving the African National Congress (ANC). Firstly, the Lekota gang started by accusing the ANC and its leadership of negating the Freedom Charter – They further argued that the ANC leadership is dealing with descending views in a Stalinist manner of purging other Comrades. Lekota initially spoke of the above issues as the main reasons for filing the so-called divorce papers to the ANC. When expected to unpack these issues Lekota did not assist our people in making them understand what exactly pushed them away. Recently, Lekota and his fellow political criminals contradicted history – a crime history has never been kind to all those who commits it. They raised the issue of the President of the Republic to be directly elected by the people and not the Party as practiced today in our country. This is the main question that I would like to use so that we expose these political lumpens. By arguing that if their Party is able to see the light of day post the 2009 elections – they will continue to campaign for this demand – exposes them further, especially when they claim that our people will for the first time in 15 years be able to exercise their democratic right of electing their own leaders. But surely Lekota cannot be thinking that we collectively with him suffer from amnesia – because we are not. Lekota was part of the same ANC and the same government that endorsed this electoral system which is enshrined in the constitution of the land. They did not oppose the system they actually benefited from the system for more than ten years – they defended the system for more than 15 years – when did Lekota realise that this system is denying our people their democratic right? Does it means Lekota was asleep since 1994? In which case one can consider forgiving him for telling the South African public this pathetic naked lie. Basically, most of the things that the ANC is accused of are crimes committed by Lekota and his Thabo Mbeki faction, which has for the past few years looted our resources for self enrichment in the name of democracy – It was not the Jacob Zuma leadership that adopted GEAR – it was not the Jacob Zuma leadership that attacked the Alliance partners and undermined the ANC structures by taking decisions which were never in the interest of our people and the ANC as an organisation. Accordingly, Lekota will know that the issue of the President of the Republic was approached in the manner we did owing to the history of our country. Ours has been the fact that our democracy is very young and as such political Parties are strategically placed in ensuring that the direction of the evolution of our democracy is properly managed. It cannot be correct that in 15 years we should think that we can apply the democracy of the so-called first world countries – these countries are many years ahead of us in terms of the developments of their systems and capitalist democracies. Taking for instance the United States which has so far been the only super power in the world since after the collapse of the Berlin wall, not because they are geographically better placed or they are more clever, but it is because their country has went through all the stages of capitalist development as such their understanding of democracy is mature (of course this is only in so far as capitalism is concern) than ours, thus some of us will argue that the world is now reaching the imperialist stages of that development which is the highest stage of capitalist development. In the United States of America capitalists are the only people who are able to be Presidents, what determines their democracy is how rich one individual is – that is why they campaign as individuals, but you cannot expect the same approach here in this early period of our own development. Considering for instances the current financial crisis the US is facing and how this crisis is affecting other countries including the underdeveloped countries testify to this historical fact of the world economy struggling to get into a fully fledged imperialist economy. This tendency by Lekota is extremely opportunistic in many ways, because what it actually means is that Lekota and his Co. think that by the time their political party get life, the ANC will have lost the support it enjoys today – therefore they can then parade their candidate using the resources they looted during their term of office to campaign for that political idiot they will want as President. The other fact that makes it clear and exposes Lekota and his company is how they raise issues relating to the scorpions – all of a sudden Terror Lekota is now sleeping with hyenas in the form of Helen Zille and her Democratic Alliance – if Lekota is serious about being loyal and committed to the ideals outlined in the Freedom Charter – why then get into bed with people whose existence has in one way or another been because they are deeply opposed to the same Freedom Charter? In fact the Freedom Charter was adopted mainly to oppose the same system that the DA and its twin racist parties like the National Party wanted to impose on the majority of our people. In taking one example from the same Freedom Charter, one of the clauses of the FC says: "The land shall be shared amongst those who work it" yet the DA is hell bent in opposing one of the most progressive land programs our country has ever had, the program of ensuring that the land is transferred back to its original people – they joined the likes of the Freedom Front and Agri-SA to condemned the ANC and government about the re-consideration of the "willing seller, willing buyer policy " – will Lekota join these racist white farmers as well? just for the sake of trying to make sense to the senseless people? It is ironic that these charlatans continues to abuse the ANC by using its structures to form a party – if they are so determined to have their own political party, why then do they use the same ANC structures for this counter revolutionary agenda? How could any party that takes itself serious be quite when its own structures are used against it? When the ANC calls these hooligans to order their friends in the media and in the industry of public opinion making makes a huge noise about purging – this is very strange indeed.
