The unstoppable impunities of being Jacob Zuma — with a lot of help from the ANC

“ The ANC has created its most formidable opposition” There is no chance of MK getting the second-most votes in the country UNLESS it splits the ANC in half. Even in that case, the ANC + MK will not achieve 50%. We should thank former prisoner zuma for saving the country.

The demise of the Anc will ultimately be brought about by their own insatiable thirst for power, rampant greed, corruption, deceit, theft, and manipulation. While this may be seen as a positive development for Mzansi, the unfortunate reality is that there is currently no superior alternative amongst opposition parties. 29 May 2024 will be the start of a new reality for South Africa and the Anc.

The possibility that Eff will join MK is real, with some of the other smaller parties selling their souls to be in government for the pay cheque. Very scary indeed.

Well, until we get the electoral court full judgement which we are told , will be made available next week , it is very wrong for anyone criticizing the judgement that has not been published , regardless of the hatred some people might have towards the man , JZ. My second point is that , the IEC must stop acting like mindless dumping filing cabinet , as a chapter 9 , independent creature of the constitution , whose body of work is largely administrative , it must avoid making silly , childish and reckless mistakes. You cant have a commissioner making a reckless comment about a matter that must still be decided by the commission There are many case laws one can use to substantiate why the IEC made a blunder , for instance , in Chief Constable Pietermaritzburg v Isham (1908 28 NLR 338 341) , the court held that , ''It is a principle of common law that no shall be condemned unheard, and it would require very clear words in the statute to deprive a man of that right.'' The question now is , when a commissioner made public comments about JZ eligibility , was Zuma consulted before ? The answer NO. Are you then expecting the Electoral Court to condone violation of Zuma's rights to a fair hearing before a decision which affects his political rights is being taken ? Is there a statute or law that deprive Zuma his rights , the answer is NO. It is within his right to go to Court when there is an abuse of what was supposedly to be an independent , impartial , neutral , objective body such as IEC. In R v Ngwebela 1954 1 SA 123 (A) 127 , it was held that , ''When a statute empowers a public official to give a decision prejudicial affecting an individual 's property or liberty , that individual has a right to be heard before action is taken against him.'' Zuma enjoys same liberty , freedom and rights we enjoy , it cant be that someone because is a commissioner , excited before national television cameras trample over Zuma's rights , surely , that announcement even before the IEC arrived at a decision was a calculated move to humiliate both Zuma and MK Party , it was intentional to cause a reputational damage. That has nothing to do with the constitutional court ruling against Zuma. He like all of us entitle to procedural fairness. When the IEC makes a mistake or a blunder , it ought to go Court , correct that mistake , they elected to take a chance , first rubbish Zuma's name and thereafter take a decision to re-affirm their earlier pronouncement to disqualify Zuma because they were hoping that the constitutional court sentence of 15 months will work in their favour. Again , the merits and reasoning of the court will be made public , it is premature to criticize the court now. Having listened to those judges , all of them , I have absolute faith and 100% confidence in them. They are alert with a sharp mind , what impressed me most , they pay attention on small detail. If the country's investigative and intelligent capabilities are of a lower standard , then , we cannot blame Zuma for moving from one court to another. He has a right to do so and i encourage him to do so because , from spy tapes to many other cases , without Zuma , we would have never know that state machinery can be abused to fight political battles. Even Cyril Ramaposa who is a darling of western and bourgeoisie , was part of the so-called Zuma wasted 9 years , but , a false narrative has been created to blame Zuma when even Cyril said in the Zondo Commission he was aware of state capture and corruption he decided to do nothing. Not all of us are fools or brainless idiots , we know what is going on , so , let the political bioskop continue , we cant wait for its end -result or conclusion

I wouldn’t be so quick to assume that remission had the effect of deleting his more than 12 months sentence – there could be other reasons for the Electoral Court judgment. Besides Ramaphosa playing him with kid gloves, you have to remember that they were all in the same cabinet that the State Capture commission exposed. There isn’t a good and a bad ANC. There are just factions who argue “our crooks are better than their crooks”.

Also note the ANC voting in support of Zuma, and against almost 10 Parliamentary votes of no confidence in Zuma when he was president during the 10 “lost years”. They backed him and kept him in power until 2018. Before that, they stood by their man. At our (South Africa’s) expense.

One thing to remind those people who hates Jacob Zuma and label him a criminal the truth is that they have assumed responsibilities that belongs to the courts which can only pronounce on that. Allegations will remain allergations until they are proven in court. Unless they want to perpetuate lies like some in the media. Zuma is not necessarily my favorite person but we are tired of rumors not tested in courts. Every person who supports Zuma is verified. Like Advocate Mpofu who is simply doing what his profession is all about, defending the accused.

Hopefully the ANC has learned that there is no honour among thieves! I strongly suspect that Zuma is being bankrolled by Russia despite all the sucking up the ANC has done! After all, there's still Zumas big nuclear contract to collect on!

It's a pity that so many south africans seem to forget very easily. ... and "steal" does not seem to bother them

The country has been forsaken by Ramaphosa. He knows what is wrong with the ANC but let's it go as he is a coward and weakling. He was gifted shares and millions of rands by business and would be nothing otherwise.
