Mahumapelo must fall on his assegai

- Siyanda Mhlongo, KwaDukuza

SUPRA Mahumapelo must fall on his assegai like his patron Jacob “Gehazi” Zuma. It is inevitable that the drivers of “ANC renewal and new dawn” are ready to uproot the roots of Zumaficati­on of the ANC and state, even if it takes sleeping with an “enemy”.

At the funeral of Chief Albert Luthuli’s wife Nokukhanya Luthuli, Nelson Mandela said: “In all political parties, there are good men and women”.

Like Schabir Shaik, Vivian Reddy, Ben Ngubane, Hlaudi Motsoeneng, Richard Mdluli, Berning Ntlemeza, Brian Molefe, Sihle Zikalala, Arthur Fraser and other members of African National “Com-tsotsis”, Mahumapelo realised that the patron-in-chief of Saxonwold shebeen was morally weak but supported him.

Immediatel­y after the Polokwane conference, he chose the false comfort of Judas Iscariot. The disciple of the biblical Gehazi appointed him premier of North West.

Even when Cyril Ramaphosa, Kgalema Motlanthe, Jackson Mthembu, Senzo Mchunu, Thandi Modise, Baleka Mbete, Zwelinzima Vavi, Blade Nzimande, Julius Malema and Mac Maharaj dumped our Gehazi, the black Jesus with SACP Senzeni Zokwane, Ben Martin Dikobe, Bathabile Dlamini and Nomusa Dube remained loyal to the “demon of corruption”.

On SAFM, I reminded the black Jesus how God reacted to the disobedien­t Gehazi, Saul and wife of Lot, whom God turned into a pillar of salt. When the biblical Gehazi went to con Namaan behind the back of the Prophet Elijah and God, the Almighty cursed him with leprosy. I also reminded him of what Mandela told the Mafikeng conference in 1997 – that it must “purge mercenarie­s”.

Mzansi Gehazi and Mahumapelo are mercenarie­s and have fallen on their assegais and “umshini wami”. They followed Hlaudi Motsoeneng, Richard Mdluli, Dudu Myeni, Ellen Tshabalala and Kgomotso Phahlane – and next are Tom Moyane, Arthur Fraser and the Guptas.

But we must never use vulgar politics, destructio­n of property, stoning of cars and looting of shops to get rid of the disciples of the biblical Gehazi, but we must be revolution­ary as we were in the 1952 defiance campaign, Alexander bus and potato boycotts in the 1950s, and in the 1980s when we made apartheid “ungovernab­le”.

The sentence given to Andile Lungisa must be a lesson to violent protesters, soccer hooligans and the likes of Mduduzi Manana.

A Groutville councillor who allegedly assaulted three women has not been investigat­ed by the ANC and Commission for Gender Equality, and the ANCYL has not taken a hard stance. Why?

The sentence given to Lungisa is a reminder that even ANC deployees must behave in a non-violent way.
