Open Letter to Thabo Mbeki by Friends for Democracy
Honourable Mr. Thabo Mbeki
Receive my warm and heartfelt revolutionary greetings unmitigated to you in the
spirit of protecting and defending yet again our democracy of our country.
Mr. Thabo Mbeki I’m writing this letter in what may go down in history as a
stepping stone for continued efforts to resuscitate and revamp our country in
line with our strategic objective of a non racial and prosperous society guided
by the Freedom Charter, that some deviating from it.
Firstly, I would like to thank you for the efforts and energy you offered to
help our brothers and sisters at Zimbabwe, to mediate and maintain peace and
stability, not for Mr. Robert Mugabe or Morgan Tsvangirai but for the general
people of Zimbabwe, it really shows your vision as a leader, for Africa to be a
peaceful and prosperous continent.
Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error... They are
the natural enemies of error and of error only... If [free enquiry] be
restrained now, the present corruptions will be protected, and new ones
encouraged.
Today ANC, faces serious problems that some correctly to a certain extend would
say a crisis, I personally as a citizen of the country I was not happy in the
manner which the ANC-NEC treated you, specifically in regard to your ousting.
By ousting you without hearing your side of the story whether indeed you had
influence in the prosecution of Mr. Jacob Zuma or not, also that mainly their
decision to recall you were based on the judgement of Judge Chris Nicholson.
Yesterday I was very flabbergasted to my attention by Jacob Zuma saying that
you wrote a letter to him, stating your loyalty to the ANC. Who and what is
ANC? Is ANC Luthuli house or a flag, or is it the general members at branch
level and the policies, constitution and the driving force “freedom Charter”?
I ask specifically this questions, to indicate that something is wrong within
the party that you allude to be loyal to, the same people you are loyal to,
previously insulted you and continuing to do so, banned T-shirts with your face
on them and publicly told the nation they don’t have confidence in you and that
you are the course of the problem in the ANC, that’s why they recalled you to
heal the organisation, so they claim.
If you are loyal to the policies of the ANC and the Freedom charter, there is
no room for you in the ANC because alliance economic summit resolute that the
policies going to be changed, therefore you’ll be loyal to something that you
don’t believe in.
If you are loyal to the disciplined general members of the ANC, then still you
don’t have a place in the ANC, because they are living the ANC and they will be
at the convention on the 2nd of November 2008. You’ll be left with Julius
Malema and the rest.
If you then loyal to the Freedom Charter and the constitution, then still Mr.
Mbeki you not going to be accommodated at the ANC, as it proves that some
believe that they are above the law, contrary the freedom charter and the
constitution that all shall be equal in the eyes of the law, therefore certain
individual should be given special treatment, “a political solution on criminal
cases”. As I believe you don’t agree with the fact that some should be special
cases in the eyes of the law. Too many people are only willing to defend rights
that are personally important to them. It's selfish ignorance, and it's exactly
why totalitarian governments are able to get away with trampling on people.
Freedom does not mean freedom just for the things I think I should be able to
do. Freedom is for all of us. If people will not speak up for other people's
rights, there will come a day when they will lose their own.
If you are loyal to the ANC flag, then soon the flag will be red and with a
star, since the SACP had hijacked the ANC daylight, Blade Mzimande, Zwelinzima
Vavi and their cronies penetrated in all the ranks of the ANC to advance their
course, and only their course, they are going to drive ANC from the passenger
seat with a gunpoint on Jacob Zuma’s head and our matriculant of the year
Julius Malema.
So, are you willing to stay in the cold ANC alone?
Further to reiterate my question, amazing how the NEC of the ANC handles
matters, When Mr. Terror Lakota, wrote a open letter to the NEC about the
issues facing the organisation and unconstitutional manner they oust you, also
stating the facts in which the leadership of the ANC deviating from the freedom
charter, they blasted Terror claiming is not the tradition of the ANC on how
members to raise their concerns by going to the media, and they Insisted that
matters of the ANC stays within the ANC.
When you comply with the tradition and by using the right channels of
addressing concerns, by writing that letter privately to the NEC, without using
media and stating your views of loyalty to the party, like any other
disgruntled members who are loyal to the party but not agreeing with the
leadership roles and decision taken by the NEC. The party bosses go to the
media and address about your private letter’s contents, because the letter was
between the NEC and you, so why do they go to the Media? So it's only correct
for them to use the media when its suit them.
So they are trying to use the letter you wrote to confuse people and dismantle
the new party's progress. But all I’m saying is that, backward never, forward
ever! We are going to the convention.
My apologies for any grammatical errors, but I believe they would be greater
than those of our so called youth leader, Julius Malema.
I hope and trust you find this in order.
Yours truly
Friends for Democracy
