Absolutely correct Gauta,hence you hear of this never-ending Post-elections call to help sweep Zuma’s shenanigans under the carpets through desperate calls like “he is a president to all of us,let’s help him to succeed…lets embrace him…he is a good man…he is a reconciliator…he is a humble man…he is blah blah blah.Complete opposite of the pre-elections venom.

If you recall the circumstances, Mo made spy allegations against Bulelani purely to shield his brother and Zuma from corruption investigations by the prosecutions authority. Blood, kin or political, is thicker than water. In other words, it is safe to infer that he wouldn’t have “exposed” him if he and Mbeki had protected old comrades. Mona stuck his head out to protect a powerful politician and his circle who stood a good chance of paying him back later. Maharaj, Munusamy, the judge, and Ramatlhodi, all stuck out their necks for later payment. Haven’t they been paid? We aren’t children fellows. Then enter Malema, Mbalula, Blade, Cele, Ace,DD, Block, Manamela, Motshekga, the list goes on and on: hangers on who sullied our political morality and dragged the name of our once glorious movement through the mud for a pound og flesh. Yuk. They call it real politik in Nkandla.

So what? Mo Shaik, seemed “intelligent” enough to be the Head of the National Intelligent Agency based on what you have just said above.

And also, I don’t understand this whole thing of you people talking about Zuma appointing people that he trusts and know that they will do the job. That’s just what Leadership is about. Why would a leader want to appoint people he doesn’t trust? Why should he want to appoint you the Mbeki Loyalist who is just going to screw him over? Let him appoint people that understand his and the ANC’s mandate. If he appoints an Mbeki Loyalist then he will be committing political suicide.

So I am happy with his appointments. No person has experience to run things in the government. Everyone that get’s appointed can get up to speed and do the job rights only if they get off their bums and stop being corrupt.

Brent

That apartheid spy list was published in numerous intelligency books and thats one list that gives the ANC heart palpitations..Get a copy of Apartheid Friends by James Saunders and you’ll find the same list which got De Lille in trouble with Frene Ginhwala.You’ll find the following names:

1.Joe Nhlanhla
2.Joe Modise
3.Peter Mokaba
4.Makhenkesi Stofile
5.Matthew Phosa(eeish,who would have thought)
6.Penuel Maduna etc

Only Zuma and Mo knows who is and who is not,we can only guess.

PASEKA, it is the prerogative of the President to appoint who he prefers; but such prerogative is not enshrined in the Constitution for the purpose of serving narrow self-interests. I have reasonable suspicion that the motivating factor for all appointments in Justice, ConCourt, NPA, Hawks, Police and NIA is the need to secure freedom after serving full term. Allegations of corruption against Zuma still remain. The NPA categorically stated that they had credible evidence of criminal wrongdoing against Zuma. Appointing sycophants in this instance is not intended to serve the interest of the country but those of the Don Juan from Nkandla.
