Sad farewell to ANC heroes as scoundrels are welcomed back?

This is not the time for sadness; but your time/turn for renewed determination to fight scoundrels. Mandela fought his wars, in his time. 

When there is an expose that is followed by a scoundrel being removed from a post, we often make the mistake that such a scoundrel is being fired for the wrong doing or ethics violation.

However, in fact the scoundrel is being punished through a process of starvation, for the indiscretion of engaging with the media, resulting in a story or expose being successfully built; as opposed to ignoring or simply laughing off a journalist [public outcry], as experienced scoundrels, masterfully, do.

The process of starvation [punishment] will in effect be accompanied by intense pleas for mercy, apologies and assurances that “I will never allow a journalist to build a successful story about myself”. The assurances will accordingly be assessed and evaluated; and if they are found to be satisfactory, the scoundrel is reintegrated even in a higher post than the previous one, and the process of starvation ends, naturally, at the greatest public sense of tragedy and sadness: “The scoundrels are back in their jobs” like Redi protests.

Scoundrels are never fired by other scoundrels; but put on starvation so that they can become the worst of the species.

Dina Pule stands accused of manipulating a mere R6 million; lies and being reprimanded by Parliament. JZ, on the other hand, currently stands accused of manipulating a whopping R210 million; lies; and a zillion of outstanding court criminal cases.

With such an amount of bad problems, a normal human being would be lying in a psychiatric ward crippled by trauma, shame, embarrassment, depression and other clinical conditions.

But, no sign of trauma or, at least, embarrassment JZ manifests. What had you been thinking that the ANC says to Dina Pule? Had you seriously thinking that she was being fired?

Of course, relentlessly, humans are physically and mentally under attack, by bugs. At physical level, viruses are described as the most dangerous, of all bugs; one cannot get rid of them with water and soap or other detergent.

At mental level, the vice is described as the most dangerous of all bugs.

Vice destroys character or personality. It has no known cure beside prevention.  For instance, these days many people agree that prostitutions should be legalised. So, what about the aversion that people used to have for prostitution! Of course the aversion is still there, but on the other hand, there is a greater realisation, these days, that certain type of people will never be whole and the best cure for such people is to create a space for them, in the society. Churches, civic societies, police or criminal institutions; Individuals, like for instance marriage with tons of love, failed to change the character of this person.

Corruption is vice in a collective, so ANC cannot be expected to ever again be whole. Parties for bad reason or good reason are almost impossible to reform. Where are the National Party, Conservative Party? Thomas Sankara  tried to reform [corruption] his party or collective [replacing Mercedes with Jettas], he was executed [1987] by his colleagues and his dismembered body buried in an unmarked and levelled grave.

So I agree with Mbeki when he says that ANC has no future as a party in government, and it will fade over the next 10 years.

Looking at the personal side of JZ, would any mentally healthy person holding a term contract job spend R200 million building a residence in a rural village [with no prospects of ever selling or renting.]

Will he afford at the least water costs; or yard cleaning when his job contract ends? His wives live in different places [not affordable to the family] where he can reach only by plane or helicopter [to sleep] which is not family property.

Would anyone work side by side with this man, if one were not scoundrel?

Of course, it is “farewell to ANC”.
