Every one from man on
the streets to opposition parties welcomes President Jacob Zuma actions as
brave and courageous. Helen Zille went as far as saying “it is better late than
never”. Indeed his actions are commendable, but are it sincere?
Media sometimes focus
on one issue like they have a vendetta. Remember when the media was focusing on
Judge Hlophe going to constitutional court? He was not appointed Judge Mogoeng
was, but when Mogoeng was interview for the head of Constitutional court there
was a media outcry.
The fact that Gwen
Mahlangu Nkabinde and Sicelo Shiceka have been fire sound very hollow to me, these
guys are just going without any accountability. You remember that Sicelo
Shiceka is still challenging public protectors findings. Therefore the
president might be buying time to send these guys to foreign affairs as
ambassadors. Who will win then?
It seems like our
president is playing politics, he unleashed oil gate commission outcomes. When
it turned out to be a non-starter he unleashed the second wave of attack by
means of reshuffle. The second wave was not to hurt, but to help him to be seen
as doing something against corrupt politicians.
Thula Nxesi has
replaced Baloyi, we all know there is no love lost between Baloyi and Public servants.
We know the song by workers when they are on strike “Samthata uBaloyi sambeka e
pitoli now Voetsek” now his comrades will be saying “Voetsek” to him. This was
done in order to buy sometime from COSATU, which seems to be a divided house every
time they communicate to the media.
