ANC and Zanu-PF same whatsapp group
Magashule and co’s visit to their partners-in-crime across the Limpopo is a reminder of the Animal Farm-type circus they have reduced our countries to
Last week an ANC delegation, led by the party’s secretary-general Ace Magashule, went to Zimbabwe for party-to-party talks with Zanu-PF. It is now well known that the delegation flew to Zimbabwe using a South African National Defence Force (SANDF) aeroplane, which is reserved for official state duties.
For some reason, ANC thieves think that we South Africans are fools. They want you and I to believe that the SANDF plane went to Zimbabwe to do SADC business. Maybe there are gullible idiots in the ANC, but the majority of South Africans will not swallow the lie.
Ironically, the ANC went to Zimbabwe to solve the same crime it has itself committed: blurring the line between party and state.
In Zimbabwe, there is no difference between Zanu-PF and the state. Some years ago, army generals made it clear before elections that they would never salute a state president who does not come from Zanu-PF.
When leaders of a governing party want to fly, in a society where there is no line between party and state, they simply instruct the army to give them an aeroplane. That is how Zanu-PF does things in Zimbabwe, and Magashule and his delegation did the same last week.
There is a certain timelessness about the conduct of political rogues. When George Orwell wrote Animal Farm back in 1944, it is as if he knew how future ANC thieves would behave.
The rogues in the ANC believe that “all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others”.
We were told by the ANC government that, under lockdown level 2, international travel is still banned, and South Africans returning home must be quarantined for 14 days.
The governing party that took the decision to ban international travel and to quarantine our friends and relatives is the same party that decided to fly its rogues in and out of Zimbabwe during lockdown.
If the DA or the UDM were to decide to send a delegation to meet opposition parties in Zimbabwe today, do you think the ANC government would allow such to fly out?
The ANC is Orwellian to the core. Only rogues from the party are allowed to fly in and out of SA during lockdown. For they are more equal than all of us.
It has been less than 14 days since the ANC delegation returned from Zimbabwe, but Magashule and the fellow rogues who travelled there are busy eating pap out there.
The best joke of the whole saga was to hear Lindiwe Zulu reporting to the SA public that the ANC went to see how the party could assist Zanu-PF to fight corruption, among other things.
Think of the leader of the ANC delegation, Magashule, sitting in a Zanu-PF boardroom and lecturing the Zimbabwean thugs about the need to end corruption.
Imagine Zanu-PF thieves listening from the other side of the table, some nodding while others control their facial expressions to make Magashule believe that he is taken seriously.
There is no need for another novelist to write another play; Orwell’s Animal Farm captures the entire tragicomedy of the thieves and thugs who sat in that Zanu-PF boardroom.
Those who prefer wisdom from African oracles would find Magashule’s surrealism well dramatised in Chinua Achebe’s A Man of the People or Ngugi wa Thiong’o’s Wizard of the Crow.
Here is the unpolished truth about SA and Zimbabwe: the ANC and Zanu-PF are the biggest problem for the two countries.
The thing the two parties did best was to cause trouble as guerrillas during the liberation Struggle. As governing parties in a democracy, they have been good at two things: stealing money and destroying state institutions.
The most urgent task for South Africans and Zimbabweans is to liberate themselves from the two dangerous parties. The sooner it is done, the better.
