Malema kicks out BBC Journalist

[Elvin]

How can JM support Zanu-PF ?

What kind of mental disease does he have?, I can't rap my mind around the fact that someone living in south africa, enjoying the technologies and modern luxuries it offers, can look at Zimbabwe and say "this is good, we all can do with some Zanu-PF leadership"

OMW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should stop following the news I think, making me old!

By the way, I could understand why some people in Zimbabwe could vote for Zanu-PF, opression, hallucination as result of no food, insanity as result of no food etc....

[Chubba]

what's the problem....as a ZanuPF politician your steal a packet of money, live in a mansion, drive a rolls royce, fly 1st class or private, visit any and every country and shop till you drop...............juuliousss has a plan!<?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

Sorta like Pinky and The Brain

?What are we going to do tomorrow night, Brain?? asks the clueless Pinky in his cute, squeaky voice. The reply he receives is almost always predictable; ?The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world??

 

For those that do not know Pinky and the Brain!

Malema charges against ANCYL members at Limpopo conference

 

 

 

Mmmmmm...perhaps he is getting enough rope to hang himself.

[Capricorn]

the most disturbing thing in recent developments, is that ANC members only really toe the line when the party bigwigs wrist slap them. Did juju listen to the courts? no. but does he stfu when the big boys over at ntuli house point a finger? but of course.

 

rule of law? lulz.

[Tumbleweed]

What amuses me is that 90% of the responses here are are pithy and incendiary as the utterrances of the man in question. No attempt to claim the moral high ground - and in this case it wouldn't be hard to do.

 

 

 

Even someone with only a base understanding of SA politics - and looking at this thread, there are few out there - would be able to see what is going on. Some mentioned the "give 'em enough rope" thing. Spot-on. Julius Malema has thrived through - and I know this is going to elicit sniggers - intelligence. He has "stuff on" on high-ranking members of the ANC. This goes some way to explain the reticance of the party on his rants in the past. What the ruling party has now done is let the media do its work for them. The media unearthed (OK, were fed) the details of Malema's indiscretions and dodgy business dealings. He's been hung out to dry now. He went too far with the journalist, but it was other rants in the same presser which were the final straw. Zuma, the SADC negotiator, was embarrassed by the younger man's stance. Although he owes Malema for his rise to power, the YL man went too far. He will pay for it.

 

 

 

To try and be optimistic about this, it shows a maturity of democracy in SA. Visible rifts in a top-heavy ruling party can only be good. It weakens a central powerbase. I think it bodes well. Factions - visible since Polokwane - are becoming more polarised. Cope was the first big step after the Mbeki-Zuma split. More is coming.

 

 

 

On a side note, I don't think the conduct of the BBC journo was beyond reproach. His interjection was rude and snide. That doesn't justify the reaction, but he could've waited for Malema to finish. I think Juju's point about the MDC issuing statements from Sandton is totally unrelated to the fact that he lives there too. The point that should've been made was that the MDC have been forced to make statements from sandton because of the brutality of the Zim regime.

 

 

 

Anyhows, off to ride my bike...

Well said, HR. I also thinks his shenanigans is an attempt to draw attention away from his corruption allegations, as it is quiet on that front now.

Well said Holly Roller. Another comment that was on this site also rings true.

When will you realize that Malema is just the scapegoat, what is happening behind the scenes while everyone is up in arms about Malema, what is the ANC doing in the background while we focus on the distraction?"

[Cranck]

Here here.... HR IS BACK IN THE MIX!!!!!

 

Also... i've grown tired of this debacle, over and out. Tired of hearing about the ANCYL etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.

 

As Holy said....I'm off..... i've got my own personal agendas to to concentrate on.

 

Good luck okes.

A bit of humour on the subject:

 

Malema didn't call the reporter a BASTARD...he thought his name was Ted and called him "Baas Ted"

Well said holy bowler!
