The race to replace ANC treasurer-general Zweli Mkhize as the ANC chairman in KwaZulu-Natal is heating up with the Moses Mabhida Region yesterday announcing its preferred candidate.

Regional chairman Alpha Shelembe said that all chairmen and secretaries of 84 branches had unanimously agreed that KwaZulu-Natal education MEC Senzo Mchunu should lead the party in the province.

Mchunu will be challenged for the post by current deputy chairman and transport MEC Willies Mchunu. The ANC Youth League in the province prefers him as a candidate chairman.

The league's provincial task team convener, Vukani Ndlovu, said it would finalise its position at the weekend.

"Our regions are busy discussing the issue. We will be at the forefront in calling for Willies to take over the position. We believe that, as a senior cadre, he is mature and can play the role of a father figure for the ANC Youth League.

"There was trust involved in voting Willies into the position he holds now. That trust has not deteriorated in the past few months. Pushing him up can minimise contestation and we can have Senzo as his deputy," Ndlovu said.

The provincial general council meeting to elect the new chairman will be held from March 8 at a venue still to be confirmed.

Every time I read these comments it makes me realise that anyone voting for the Absolute National Corruption party in the next elections have to be the most unintelligent, brain washed and idiotic citizens of this country. They must also be totally heartless and selfish when it comes to the desperately poor and indigent people who number in the hundreds of thousands.....!
The Corruption party does not care a hoot for these people, and here is the proof. The salary bill for the two hundred odd (mostly corrupt) ministers et al runs into the hundreds of millions each year. They do not EARN this, they TAKE it for the least amount of work. How is it possible that Zuma (and his wives) earns more than Obama, the most powerful leader in the world....Come on you moronic Corruption supporters, make me understand why he deserves it. And what's the president of our country doing being a member or director of an untold number of companies and CC's. Does he not receive enough to stave off hunger and misery? It’s absolutely disgusting that he can take in all this money from the tax payers while the poor and indigent (who by the way helped him get voted in) suffer interminably. In fact to put it more succinctly , any politician who has ever indulged in the splurging of taxpayers’ money on self-indulgent pursuits is a disgusting lump of putrid faeces who should be stripped of everything they own and forced to live in a squatter shack for the rest of their lives. Wow, I’ve just realised the whole cabinet of Corruption will have to be moved to what would become the most well known squatter camp in the world....!!!
So you see dumb asses, by voting for these a-holes you are allowing the rape to continue. Having said this I realise there are certain people who HAVE to vote for the Corrupt....those that are already entwined in the quagmire that has been formed over the last few years and who rely on the largesse bestowed on them for playing the money and power game of the untouchables! Are YOU one of those leeches sucking up to the top six????
Now, one of the (unintelligent) arguments over “ who else to vote for...” can be solved right here...If you want to be guaranteed things like service delivery, a decent life for all, top class education among many others, all you need do is threaten the Corrupt with a loss of power. That’s all, just let their majority in parliamentary drop below 60% and watch the change happen instantly!!! Make them realise that power can be removed at the cross of a pen. At the next election arrange with groups of people you associate with to vote for various smaller parties like the ACDP etc so that not one party becomes too dominant. The worst thing you can do is to NOT vote. It is construed as voter apathy and not anti ANCorruption.
Another thought to ponder....What could be so wrong with giving another party just 4 years to prove itself? The Corruption party has taken nearly 20 years to fix poverty with negative results (more poor now than before 1994)and not forgetting losing 30 billion bucks per year to fraud and corruption!!
In just 4 years you can just as easily vote them out if you are not satisfied...simple! Realistically the only party who could make the changes you want is the DA, considering they have a fairly good track record in the Cape....I do also believe that most politicians lie and steal but as long as we have press freedom and involved citizens we can keep it in check.
Go on, give them 4 years, (it’s not a lifetime) and let’s see what they can do!!!!
