Emboldened Jacob Zuma will get more rogue going forward

-

The catastroph­ic consequenc­es of the vote of no confidence will be felt for the rest of our lives. If anything, it will embolden a heartless, Jacob Zuma and his gangsters.

Soweto taxi owners heeded the call to shut down the country on the 8th, as were ordinary citizens across the country. Guess who the ANC blamed?

White people! Brace yourselves for a more rogue president. There isn’t anything Zuma hates as much as someone who stands up to his abuse!

He is going to leave no stone unturned in his revenge. We might have another cabinet reshuffle, and our economy will never recover! We will have more downgrades and they will blame the Western markets, which in their view are manipulate­d against them!

Nkandla has set a precedent! He has survived this motion and he is going to get more rogue. One thing is clear: the ANC is Zuma and Zuma is the ANC. He rules through coercion and instilling fear. His equally miserable, clueless Gupta stooge Mosebenzi Zwane will get more rogue.

The new mining charter, which is nothing short of thievery masked as transforma­tion, will do what Hlaudi Motsoeneng did to the SABC! As we speak, black people are allowed to own mines. They can have as much as 100% mine ownership if they meet the requiremen­ts, including capital.

Nothing is standing in their way, not even “white monopoly capital”!

However, Zwane’s attempts to scam investors simply because they want to do business here is nonsense! It has started killing the industry through the recent jobs bloodbath.

Transforma­tion and BEE are killing the country as we continue to be subjected to ministers who occupy wrong but critical portfolios!

We ought to brace ourselves for the real beginning of our nightmare, thanks to the ANC MPs who sold the country to the

Guptas, instead of standing with ordinary South

Africans.
