The 5th National General Council

The ANC conducted (or is currently still conducting) its fifth National General Council. Like usual, the event is hosted in a very expensive venue; where the prices start from 2,500 rand per person per night upwards. This party consisting of the representatives of the poor and destitute, as usual, cannot be expected to live and meet like those they claim to represent. I mean, they are the people taking the important decisions in the country, exercising the power, stealing the money. Do you really expect them to eat cheap, sleep cheap, drive cheap or meet cheap?

When the first motor cavalcade has eventually arrived, and the multiple of bodyguards and anchorage have popped out, you will be forgiven to think, “good, they are all here”; just to realise that this was but one of the unbelievable wise, brilliant and immensely important Big Shots that has arrived. An remember, in this new glorious state of the compared, to be on time, is to be seen as rendering to Western Imperialism.

If the glorious movement cannot pay their staff, let alone afford the venue, it is the fault of the beneficiaries of affirmative action and other discrimination that are not showing the necessary appreciation to the Party, by depositing millions back into it.

Hell, not even the tenderpreneur-created entitled give back. No, in this case, I agree that it shows unbelievable self-centeredness and greed. However, as far as the middle class is concerned, what's actually the argument? That they must be so thankful for the ANC creating an opportunity for them to find a job, that they must give part of their earnings from that job back to the Party? We all know that 80% of such donations will be eaten by the cadre business networks, but at least 20% will be left to the party to afford the venue.

My Brother, you are dealing here with the likes of Cyril Ramaphosa; a billionaire that has never built a business or brand in his life, getting rich from an unique business method, which is from BBBEE deals, from freighting White billionaires to hand over big chunks of their wealth to him in a pathetic attempt to prevent this wealth been taken from them and redistributed to state; which would have then redistributed it further down the chain to the Ramaphosa’s of the ANC anyway. So, I guess they just, unknowingly, saved time. Since then, many of the old money in the country has fled anyway, including the Oppenheimer, and the Wessels family; but at least they have bought time to take most of their wealth with them. Those remaining are so close to the ANC government, it will be embarrassing to use proverbs to describe the nature of the relationship.

I mean, this man is so important, such a shining light of moral righteous, that he truly believes he is superior in the packing order to the world’s rulers to Donald Trump, the President of the country with the largest economy and most powerful military in the world. That is now, in spite of Phala-Phala and the hundreds of corrupt politicians and officials his party is not only keeping in its ranks, but actually tend to prefer for senior appoints and other deployments.

Since 1994, these group of cadres have taken the decisions in the country. And they truly believe, the absolutely do, that they were astonishing brilliant at it. The utter collapse of municipalities, the down trending of the economy, the lack of service delivery, the ramped crime waves, the selling out to criminal syndicates, the non-functional hospitals, where patients die, rather than get well again, are all symptoms of a hostile media, controlled by White Monopoly Capital. It is the result of the Apartheid legacy. It is caused by an Imperialist America withdrawing its grants from South Africa, because they are ruled by a White Supremacist. It is never the fault of the stealing, looting cadres; there is always an external factor, an enemy from outside, the cause the failures of the all-wise comrades.

So, they gather, the state capturers, thieves and looters, the tenderpreneurs, those paying loyalty to the Cat Matlala's of this world, to decide that the policies for keeping discriminating against White South Africans will not only be maintained, but will be intensified. They gather to decide that, actually, the agreements reached during the Codesa negotiations, are not what really matters in South Africa. What really matters, are their ideologically driven racist and highly destructive Freedom Charter and National Democratic Revolution.

And they come up with the most fantastic dreams, which will only ever materialize in their ideological imaginations. Things like ethical governance under an ANC government, accountable government under leaders who have never give account about the multiple of criminal charges labelled against them, let also the lack of service delivery and the collapse in infrastructure. They speak as if they have any ethical, competent cadres left in the revolutionary movement.

They talk about affordable, quality, equal health services to South Africans; and about the National Health Insurance, as if they have available the most competent, medical practitioners and a strong economy. They don't seem to realize that hospitals are collapsing, that they have chanced away many of the most competent doctors and nurses, through their racist policies, and that the country cannot even afford the state-sponsored health services in a single hospital, let alone for the entire country.

The talk about advances in education, as if South Africa's education hasn't collapse into the joke of the world. Matriculants are unemployable. Educators are more likely than not suitably qualified in the subjects they are supposed to teach. South Africa's learners are at the bottom of the world's lists in terms of Mathematics and Science.

They talk about “people felling safe in their homes”, while two commissions are, at the same time, investigate the collapse of the South African criminal justice system into puppets of criminal cartels.

They talk as if there’s nothing fundamentally wrong in this country that cannot be solved by a “we say so.” For more than thirty years, we had to listen to this nonsense, while, in our daily lives, the discrimination, the collapse, the crime, the corruption, the thievery, the incompetence, the ideological rubbish, are constantly being repeated and worsened.

Let it be known: They are not the excellent creators they believe themselves to be; they are destroyers. They contaminate everything they touch. They have turned South Africa into a mafia state, a failed state. And they are still at it.
