Wise words from Mosiuoa Lekota
Responding to questions around his resignation as Minister of Defence, Mr. Mosiuoa Lekota, had some wise words to share:
“Once the NEC endorses that judgement we are disqualified from sitting in any legislature or Parliament and representing people. If you are implicated like this, in something that is a crime, there is no way we can sit in the House in good faith when we have broken our oath of office.”
He said the NEC should have recalled “all of us”, adding: “There is no way in which the NEC could do that and not accept the consequences.”
“I don’t need Thabo Mbeki to think for me. I don’t need Jacob Zuma to think for me. How can I look people in the face [after this judgement and decision by the NEC]? This affects our families and the communities we live in. I can’t represent an organisation that has taken the decision that I broke my oath of office.”
Clearly he knows what a weighty issue this is that we are dealing with, if only the leaders of the ANC had the same integrity. Find the whole article here.
“Shoot and Kill for Zuma”
“we will crush anyone who tries to prevent Jacob Zuma from becoming the next president”
These are the words of the ANC Youth League.
What do we make of all this?
