Zuma treating us as morons
THE STATE capture report has divided ANC National Executive Committee and pitted ANC veterans against the embattled president.
It has also invited anger from Dr Ben Ngubane about Thuli Madonsela’s findings on how Eskom was captured.
Former Eskom chief executive Brian Molefe was caught in a lie about his frequency passing by the “shebeen”, which prompted him to resign.
When President Jacob Zuma realised opposition parties might ask the public protector to testify and demand her to release the “recorded” interview with him and the letter written by her on March 22 which the president ignored, he withdrew his objection to the release of report.
At the centre of his strategy is to delay until he is 100 percent sure his preferred successor Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma takes over. He knows his “blesser” or “sugar-daddy”, the state, will pay his legal costs.
Addressing his followers in KwaZulu-Natal, Zuma said he was not scared of jail, pleaded innocent and lied profusely he was a victim of “conspiracy”.
He has never disputed facts in the report. He is no longer saying he was never asked to put his side of his story by Madonsela, a lie he manufactured to block the release of the report .
An innocent president does not lie, he respects the truth and intelligence of his people, but Zuma treats the nation as a people of morons.
He has to set up a commission to tell his “subjects”, the nation of people Nelson Mandela liberated, why he lied; I do not know Vytjie Mentor, I am a victim of conspiracy, how his family became instant millionaires; why Mosebenzi Zwane was parachuted above other MPs to be made minister responsible for energy while he was not MP but MPL in the Free State Legislature; why he never asked Mcebisi Jonas to explain his meeting with the Guptas if he is his principal and why Fikile Mbalula complained he was told by a Gupta member he would be appointed a minister of sports.
It’s ironic the same Mbalula defends Zuma withoutshame. Zuma knows he will be quizzed about the purging of Nhlanh la Nene and why he lied about deployment to the Brics Bank.
The president is on the run, but he has no place to hide. It’s a united people, black and white, young people, students from diverse faiths, business, ANC members and entire left who can make ANC oppose his delaying tactic.
Indeed, his delaying tactic proves again he is a “comtsotsi” of high immoral and unethical standards.
A united people can only be defeated by complaisance or docility.
Dr Albertina Luthuli asked; “Why was it easy to recall Thabo Mbeki but difficult to do the same with Zuma?” Nkosazana Zuma said recalling her ex-husband would divide the ANC.
