If Mandela’s dream of a unified nonracial society begins and ends with him then there is no legacy to celebrate.

How on earth does someone like Malema, facing trial on tax charges, get to start a political party and get media coverage to further this joke? Even worse its called the Economic Freedom Fighters and is once again sucking in and misleading the uneducated. Why are he and the rest of the corrupt, fraudulent politician­s not behind bars?

Zuma should not be allowed to hand over RDP houses because it comes across as though he or the ANC are paying for it, and they don’t. Taxpayers pay for it and his Nkandla palace.

How can the DA claim the moral high ground with a member such as King Dalindyebo? Athol, this one is going to come back to bite you big time.

Go King, go! The DA’s new logo should be one man, one spliff.

Mike Thurgood is being diplomatic when summing up Chief Justice Mogoeng’s “transforma­tion” agenda. Mogoeng is a Zuma man with an ANC agenda to fill the judiciary with regime sympathise­rs. Quality is fast being eroded for ideology.

If the Department of Defence wants to go shopping for another bulk arms purchase I think they should first hold a massive garage sale to dispose of all the “stuff” they bought last time. This must include all the mothballed fighter planes, the submarines they managed to drive into the seabed and bust by plugging hairdryers into weaponry sockets, and of course those pretty battleship­s they can’t afford to put to sea. Then they can go and buy something they can afford.
