White racists using blacks to demonise Zuma

President Jacob Zuma has taken more abuse and insults from South Africans than any other head of state since the demise of apartheid two decades ago. He has been attacked left, right and centre. He has been despised by his opponents, right wing media and by racist whites who have not yet accepted change in the country.

South Africa has always been defined by race and will remain so for a long time.Black stooges of white led political parties like the Democratic Alliance (DA) have also joined the anti-Zuma crusade to please their white masters.

Middle class blacks who now live in wealthy former whites only areas have abandoned the former liberation movements to join opposition groups led by former backers of apartheid. Black and white editors working for right-wing newspapers now believe their papers can not sell without a story demonizing either Zuma, members of his family, Nkandla scandal and the his party, the African National Congress (ANC).

Black and white cartoonists and comedians take turns in their performances to mock the President to the delight of their dominant white audience.The reason why whites flock to performances by black comedians is because they would be mocking Zuma or ANC leaders.

Last week deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa called on his fellow countrymen and women to respect the President but those calls have fallen on deaf ears. A few hours after Ramaphosa's statement, some twitter users were busy mocking the President again.One tweeted: "President Zuma resigns. He handed in his resignation today."

But surprisingly the same white racists and their black middle class stooges never disrespected or mocked apartheid leaders such as Pieter Willem Botha, Frederick Willem de Klerk and Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd, one of the architects and generals of apartheid. Reason because they either supported apartheid, their leaders' policies or they simply feared they would land in jail or morgue.

The same white racists in 2004 voted Verwoerd to be among the top 20 South Africans. The list included the late former president Nelson Mandela. Verwoerd if truth be said was apartheid's top general and chief architect of segregation-separate development.

He was the man who embraced the Nazi style fascism in South Africa forcing the international community to isolate the country.

The same villains of apartheid attacking Zuma and the ANC today are blaming blacks for everything that has gone wrong in this country. I remember pastor Ray McCauley of Rhema Church during one of his sermons. He told his congregation that during apartheid many white people used to describe the white led government as their own government.

Today the same white racists are describing Zuma's administration as their government. They don't see Zuma as their president but leader of his party. Thats why they spend most of their time in parliament attacking him, his family and the ANC.

Zuma is human and has made many mistakes partly because of bad decisions and choices but he does not deserve to be treated as if he is a criminal. The DA and black stooges like EFF leaders have disrespected Zuma enough and its time the ANC and the government put an end to their nonsense once and for all.

As an African and a human being, I don't support people who show disrespect to leaders just because they do not agree with them.

In Zimbabwe today, many people don't support Robert Mugabe for reason known to themselves but they have never disrespected or mocked their own president because of their differences.

Mugabe is our leader and president and we should give him that respect.

We should also respect his office. Mugabe has done lots of bad things especially in my native Matabeleland -  the massacres of thousands in the 80s but that does not change the fact that he is the president of Zimbabwe whether I like him or not.

Also as an African person we are taught to respect our elders whether they are members of your family or not. Mugabe is an elder and I respect him the same way I will respect my own father. When I criticize Mugabe I will do so with that respect but not to humiliate or demonise him to please white racists or Western powers.
 
Zuma has made mistakes as president and should be criticized-but not demonized or mocked on daily basis by white cartoonists, black comedians and journalists still suffering from inferiority complex-victims of more than 300 years of apartheid dominance.
 
The problem with some whites and middle blacks in South Africa is that they want all black leaders or presidents to be Nelson Mandela. Zuma could also be a target of white racists or third force because he has refused to be controlled by the West.

The West-self proclaimed champions of democracy are not happy with Zuma's look east policy in South Africa. His close friendship with the Chinese and Russians is making the West nervous-the other reason why the racists are onto his case. Parliament has become nothing but a daily circus whose main characters are EFF and the DA. Cry the beloved country.
