This and that with Mal'phosa - Ngeyethu!

Well, the verdict is out. The people of South Africa like Nkandla. The Nkandla that their President Jacob built. In his final rally at the FNB stadium, some say he was shouting "Nkandla!" and the multitudes shouted back, ""Ngeyethu!" "All or part of it!" "It's ours!"  The elated crowds shouted back. Yes, the election results show this. He convinced the multitudes that whatever he had done in Nkandla was done ‘by the people, for the people', as the governments of the 17th century made people believe. But there are others who did not believe this. Immediately after the rally, one was heard shouting in anger.

"I'm not vote because I don't registered.'    
                
 Another one who had more tangible reason said, "Am not voting because I want mansipala to Malamulele."    
                                       
"We want radical changes in this world and I fell Zuma cannot deliver us from evil."       
 
The president himself has promised radical change – whatever this entails. The election result shows that his tomfoolery over the years had an insignificant effect on the ANC. So much was said about Nkandla, but he had a depressing explanation to the building of the complex." One of my wives was raped just before I became president. That is why there are such developments."   
       
 Well, this is the first time I ever heard about this unfortunate incident. Sad, neh? But not according to one of the listeners. "So, what about the cattle-kraal? Does it mean one of his cows was raped too?" His cattle kraal, according to Madonsela, is worth millions. There is also a swimming pool there, and as Malema put it, none of Zuma's relatives knows how to swim. And he says Madonsela snapped the surroundings also, to make Nkandla look like a vast complex. It is not how it looks!           
"From here, we will burned the school, police station and clinic because Zuma government doesn't want to develop our area."    
                                   
"All the foreigner shops will be destructed." This was another citizen who felt Zuma dwelt so much on history and promises rather than - - - what?
                           
The man who sounds like he is in touch with reality is Jackson Mthembu. I heard him explain why his people are so violent. "This is how we routed the apartheid government and our people believe violence is the only way to solve things. We need to educate them on how to approach challenging situations more civilly." Well, good like Jackson.   
                           
 And, like in any election in the SADC, there were problems. While the organizations like SADC itself quickly put a stamp of approval on the election process, opposition parties are crying foul. What were those ballot papers in the streets of Alexandra doing there instead of joining the counting process? The army had to be called in to quell violent protests against the election results.  Two Ethiopian shop keepers are said to have hid in a freezer overnight until they were rescued by the army in the morning. And all foreigners' shops were looted and then burnt down. So, one is forced to ask, how an Ethiopian refugee, or any other asylum seeker, is related to the outcome of the election? But, as we have seen in the past, SADC will gladly endorse anything that looks like an election, no-matter how flawed, because they are brethren in crime. The South Africans need the slightest provocation to turn their bottled up emotions and criminality potential on to foreigners. A puddle of kak in the streets can easily be blamed on foreigners, and will be an excuse for South Africans to commit murders most foul. One would think there are none of them in other countries. I don't remember how many times Harare was bombed by amabhunu as they targeted ANC offices and officials who were refugees or exiles in other African countries. And now this is how they wanna thank Africa?
                   
And the DA feels it must have won the Gauteng province. Their final rally here was so well attended a neutral like me would have given the province to them. But again, the "Siyanqoba" rally at FNB was a best-seller too. The EFF says the ANC rigged Gauteng and it was supposed to be won by the EFF.
 
Remember the 2012 million-man (youths) march to Pretoria, orchestrated by the president of the EFF? The numbers lied to him there also. Not everyone in Gauteng admires his goal and approach. Not everyone thinks hounding out those who control the economy will bring the economy directly under the common man. They point him across the border, north of the country. In a bid to repossess, own and control the economy, the government created a boggy situation that will take centuries to control, normalize and forget. The middle class in particular is not enthused; they feel he will have to bring them down in order to raise the common man. But they struggled to get where they are. Let those who are averse to work eat their feet.    
                               
Malema is a rabble-rouser who has nothing new, except his radical, racial policies, to offer. Meanwhile, Zuma must be breathing a sigh of relief wherever he is. "I will decide Zuma's fate when I become president of the republic next month!" This is what Malema had promised ululating crowds who took things personally, like Malema himself. And you and I know pretty well whatever Malema wanted to do to Zuma was definitely not going to be good for Zuma's heath!
           
Malema reminds me a lot of the Zimbabwean politicians - they never smile; they are so angry and are ready to attack and insult anyone who dares oppose the furher. You can almost see vile smoke coming through their ears as the climb willy-nilly on the members of the opposition. They want to see and feel the anger ooze down to the grass-roots and translate into fire that will engulf members of the opposition. A lot of people saw that Malema merely invited them to fight his personal vendetta against Zuma on his behalf and said no! It is mostly the youths, who are usually too adventurous and too rebellious who voted for him. And of course, his home boys and home girls who feel that Zuma is persecuting their son, the son of the people, without cause.
               
Zille, on the other hand, gloats over the growth of the DA – the bluenami. She says she got most of her votes from the blacks, who obviously must support the zunami. "Ayisafani" – she says, referring to the ANC, and at times to the DA itself.

But Dee says iNkandla is like some man caught pants down in another man's bed. "No!" He shouts, it's not what it looks like! We were not doing any thing." Agh save it, mhlathi wakho! Why not just say "No madoda, lami bengithi ngiyazizamela njengamadoda wonke, sorry!"
Ngiyabonga mina!
