The winner in the Polokwane leadership contest is not JZ someone else who will take over when he is charged is the victor. He has carved his path to power with skill that would make Thabo Mbeki look like a child. I am sure TM respects this man where he is and does not see him as an enemy. Its like an unfolding drummer in a novel or movie. Very exciting staff. Watch this space!

It sounds like a good campaign to me. Tell me more about your party Chocky. What does it stand for? What is its position on slave wages in white commercial farms?

After this conference, the power will shift to the hands of ordinary South Africans. We will have to make a decison, regardless of what happens in Polokwane about who to vote for in 2009, or if things go pear shaped sometime next year.

I look forward to that. The ANC has taken its broad membership and the people of this country for granted for far too long. The people of this country also need to hold their leaders accountable. We must speak with our votes and remind people that they are there to serve their citizens and not use state power and resources for themselves and their friends.

If Lekota was capable of learning, he would withdraw his nomination to avoid embarrassment and minimise the possibility of total exclusion of Mbeki camp from the top six.

Lekota is a liability. Nobody supports him in Free State, his home province.

Mr President has wrong backers. ie Lekota

I’m just very dissapointed with Terror Lekota’s chairing. Given his sustained public outbursts, i has not expected much good from him, as a leader, but i think his ability or is it disability… to chair was just sheer embarrasing. Flauting normal and widely held procedures and in the process cultivating fertile conditions for delegates to disrespect him. All the disrespect aside, he simply was a bad chair!

Nobhala, do us all a favour and just cut to the chase.Say straight-out that you are advocating ‘Magabenomics.’ No food,no electricity,no clean running water,no crops,no living wage,no free press,a worthless currency,stone-age living standards and a dictatorship.Do you want everything to be given to you for free or are you prepared to work for some of it?Zimbabwe’s life expectancy is dropping every year so if you are 37 or older then count yourself lucky to still be alive!!By the way,even though ‘Animal Farm’ was only a fairy tale, we do have a modern day version in Zimbabwe!

Nobhala is out of touch with reality.The outcome of the elections will be put to a test either by dispute or walk-out. The Zumani is coming strong and sorry that Nobhala cannot see the writing but fonts

Clearly spot on.When Blade says the whole NEC is business men and have stakes in gov tenders, he is ridiculed and they still enjoy sitteng at the pedestal of the described chairs. Come to think of the latest flashy cars, an ordinary member will have to think more of why they shud be voted out. An expansion of wealth accumulation and R100 to ferry one to secure a seat in the NEC by this bureaucrats. Indeed Zuma represents the rank and file. The haves will still want to outgun each other at the expense of our hard gained liberation.
Your observation is spot on Feriel.

I am worried about the adoption of the credentials report that will impact on who shud vote. Obviously the 94 delegates disqualified from Gauteng tells the extent of how much tman wud want to hold on.
