Yesterday the DA suffered yet another blow of humiliation and disgrace. The modern day Nongqawuse, Mr. Mmusi Maimane, has once more showed the real reasons why DA hired him as the Leader of main opposition ahead of many more experienced MP’s amongst its benches. The role of this hired Leader must be to scare all of us about dangers of this “Black government” that is inefficient and inherently corrupt. At his behest, South Africans are meant to be duped in believing in the imminent coming of devastation and destruction unless his words are heeded – hallucination and delusion that has characterised the main opposition benches under the leadership of Maimane.
The insults against President Zuma yesterday which were couched as a debate were nothing new. In the run up to the 2014 General Elections, all manner of things were said with the intention to sway the electorate against the ANC and President Zuma. These were once again regurgitated yesterday. In the same resounding manner the voters had rejected the DA, the National Assembly once again reaffirmed the confidence the nation has in the leadership of President Zuma.
Many attempts in history have failed to divide the African National Congress. The people of South Africa continue to affirm the organisation and its historic mission to create a united, non-racial, non-sexist, democratic and prosperous society. In the face of the glaring successes of the ANC government and the presented evidence how we continue to make the lives of our people better, we are left with no choice but to assume that perhaps the reason some within DA benches still hallucinate that ANC MP’s can vote against their own President, is based on ideology of supremacy race.To mask this racist agenda, DA needs a black leader to attack the so called “black government” particular President Zuma. This reinforces the narrative that the majority of people who overwhelmingly vote the ANC are irrational including its MP’s. Building on the solid electoral mandate South Africans gave the ANC in the 2014 General Elections, the ANC will continue undeterred in its work to move South Africa forward.
