SABC gag ties us to failed politics: iLIVE

The report that the SABC's acting head of news, Jimi Matthews, has gagged his newsroom from referring to President Jacob Zuma's private residence as a "compound" or "homestead" is a desperate attempt to twistNkandlagate into a race issue.

I'm jealous of US politics. There, the presidential candidates must woo the populace and plainly present their policies.

Here, power is patronage, tenders and favours.

I so wish the ANC's outdated political mentality was replaced by a push to create opportunities for all races.
