SABC gag ties us to failed politics: iLIVE
in Ideas by Luthando Lukhozi, Centurion
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I so wish the ANC's outdated political mentality was replaced by a push to create opportunities for all races.
