Wittes moet ons land (gelees grond), teruggee sê Malema

‘n onheilspellende berig wat op die oog af as blote swart politieke retoriek afgemaak sou kon word, verdien egter om van nader bekyk te word aangesien die blankes by die hare ingesleep word in wat as ‘n toespraak by ‘n swart troue in Zimbabwe bedoel was om die gaste te vermaak. As hierdie berig egter saamgelees word met die artikel wat ons direk daarna plaas met die titel: Zanu PF, ANC at war

By Richard Chidza,  vorm daar ʼn tendens wat blankes in Suid Afrika hulle onderlinge verskille ondergeskik sal moet laat maak aan eendragtigheid in voorbereiding vir verweer teen die moontlikheid van die uitvoering van sommige van die uitgesproke ideale.

Ons sal by ‘n later geleentheid meer breedvoerig hieroor berig.

Wittes moet ons land (gelees grond), teruggee sê Malema in vanoggend, Dinsdag 16 Oktober 2012, se Pretoria News, THE PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE OF TSHWANE. “Zim achievements inspire Africa, he says”

Hierdie “slim Dilema” se motivering is: “When they came from Europe they did not carry any land into South Africa. Actualy they killed people to get that land and those minerals” “We are not going to give them money when we take the land back because it will be like we are thanking them with money for killing our people.

“We will never do that. Little did they know that we are not scared of blood. We are scared of defeat.

“We don’t want to be defeated but seeing blood is not what we are scared of as long as that blood delivers what belongs to us we are prepared to go to that extent.”

Malema was speaking at a posh Harare wedding reception held in one of the most expensive suburbs in Harare. He told guests that Zimbabwe’s “achievements” were an “inspiration to Africa” at a time when Zimbabwe is begging SA and Angola for loans of nearly R1 billion as the treasury in Harare is empty.

“We want to be remembered as a generation of economic freedom fighters,” Malema said.

His wedding speech was reported in the pro Zanu-PF daily, The Herald, but he was not available to confirm if it quoted him accurately. “We are coming here to Zimbabwe not because we are running away from problems, but to gain strength because what you have achieved is an inspiration to Africa,” the Herald reported Malema as saying. “Don’t listen to imperialist newspapers. You have achieved a lot.

“You are running your own country, you have been managing your own affairs and you are not controlled by foreigners. “We are not a generation of mini-skirts. We are a generation that continues with the struggle of President [Robert] Mugabe, of President [Nelson] Mandela.”

At a time when there are at least 40 political prisoners in appalling conditions in Zimbabwe’s filthy maximum security prison, Malema praised Mugabe for delivering “political freedom and democracy”. He made a long speech, which the Herald said made many of the well-heeled guests laugh. Malema said he was in Harare to attend a “beautiful wedding so we left our political vocabulary at home…  “We want to dance and enjoy Zimbabwe and we want to see what Harare will offer us.”  Malema said he and his colleagues had been to Zimbabwe many times and were hosted by indigenisation minister Saviour Kasukawere, who he referred to by his nickname, Tyson.

“When I was coming to this wedding, they said in South Africa that I was running away from problems and I was coming to seek asylum here in Zimbabwe.  “Little did they know that I will never run away from South Africa. I will never run away from problems because problems are my life.’ He handed over a gift of about R50 000 to the bride Tendai Wenyika and her new husband, Mike Gava. Malema told the couple: “You must never be ashamed of having many kids; you must be ashamed of having many wives”, in an evident reference to polygamous President Jacob Zuma, his arch-enemy.  “Many wives are not an alternative. They spread diseases because that is multisexual relationship and they are not protected.”

Malema was not available for comment but had a message for callers on his cellphone yesterday: “At the end of everything else we will not remember the words uttered by the enemy… we will remember the silence of our friends during this difficult time. Never surrender. Never retreat. Victory is certain.”

Organisations such as Chama cha Mapinduzi youth of the ruling party of Tanzania, Cuban and youths from Botswana National Front — Gaborone’s main opposition — have also pledged their support to Malema after he was expelled from the ANC.

Zanu PF, ANC at war

By Richard Chidza,

President Robert Mugabe’s Zanu PF and some secret service agents have been fingered by the African National Congress (ANC) in a sinister plot to derail that country’s economy by fanning mines unrest.

The Daily News reported on Monday that the ruling party (Zanu PF) is on a $100 million mission to weaken perceived opponents through a raft of dirty strategies including sting operations.

The latest allegations emerged following an ANC national executive committee (NEC) meeting in Midrand, Gauteng at the weekend where tougher action was called against the mayhem, which has resulted in the death of nearly 50 people, including two policemen.

This also comes amid strong suspicions that Zanu PF is funding the activities of expelled former ANC Youth League president Julius Malema, accused of sowing seeds of discontent among SA’s poor — in a futile bid to derail Zuma’s re-election and his mediation efforts to the Zimbabwean crisis.

An ANC, NEC member, who spoke to the Daily News on condition of anonymity yesterday, said tension was once again rising between his party and Zanu PF.

“Our information is that Zanu PF continues to bite the hand that feeds it. We learnt at the meeting that some rogue state agents are deeply involved in the unrest that is afflicting our mines.

“This is coming on top of the well-known fact that Zanu PF continues to support and fund Malema, including his subversive endeavours to try and destabilise our party, ostensibly using illicit diamond funds,” he said.

“…apart from wanting to derail Zuma’s fair-handed mediation work in Zimbabwe’s messed-up politics, the agents’ covert operations also have an economic underpinning,” they added.

“Under this devious scheme, some twisted and corrupt Zanu PF leaders are hoping that South African mining investors, particularly those invested in platinum, will ditch the country and run to Zimbabwe where they will cut deals with these murderous and corrupt politicians to exploit that country’s vast mineral deposits.”

The meeting was attended by party heavyweights including Zuma, his deputy Kgalema Motlanthe, secretary-general Gwede Mantashe and party chairperson Baleka Mbete. So angry were some ANC leaders that some of them were calling for tough action against Zanu PF and its leaders. “Many comrades have not been happy with Zanu PF’s attitude towards us for a long time now, and they are even angrier now that this latest information is coming to light. I mean, what more does SA and the ANC need to do to show that we are good neighbours who mean well? Must we really continue to allow them (Zanu PF) to abuse our generosity just because we are both parties of liberation? No man,” he said.

“This is the reason why some of these comrades are saying enough is enough and that it’s time we took some serious and decisive action, if only to teach these spoilt brats a lesson, because we can do that.”

“Remember, people were also advised at the NEC meeting about how some Zanu PF goons have been routinely abusing President Zuma and his emissaries during the current mediation effort. Honestly, enough is enough,” they added. The NEC member would not say what kind of action the ANC would take against Zanu PF in retaliation — choosing to say only that “they (Zanu PF) will soon see it if their nonsense continues”.

And...

A top ally of President Robert Mugabe on Tuesday said Zimbabwe should not be relying on wheat imported from South Africa and other neighbours in case Zimbabwe goes to war with them. Zimbabwe needs around 450,000 tonnes of wheat each year, but experts say the country is only likely to harvest around 20,000 tonnes this year. Acting Agriculture Minister Ignatius Chombo said Zimbabwe’s wheat imports are keeping South African companies in business.

In Zimbabwean state mouthpiece the Sunday Mail last month, ZANU (PF) politburo member and former Zimbabwean information minister Jonathan Moyo argued that the Southern African Development Community (Sadc) can no longer turn a blind eye to the "security crisis" unfolding in South Africa saying the community’s biggest economy now poses a "regional security threat" with four key dimensions.

Moyo said Zimbabwe’s turbulent neighbour has seen the "nationwide deployment of the army in the place of civilian functionaries". Moyo asked how could President Jacob Zuma’s facilitation team of Charles Nqakula, Lindiwe Sisulu and Mac Maharaj continue to "pontificate" about confining Zimbabwe’s military to barracks, when Maharaj has been feebly defending just such deployments in his own country? And with regards to the sponsoring of Malema's visit to the UK.... President Robert Mugabe’s party has pledged to fund a round-robin trip to the United Kingdom by expelled ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema to attend a conference of African liberation movements in Birmingham this weekend.

Malema, an outspoken and controversial figure in South Africa, is a darling of ZANU-PF  Organisers of the meeting told an online publication that Media, Information and Publicity Minister Webster Shamu had assured them that he will see to it that Malema gets the resources needed to fly to the UK, indicating that he would ensure that the South African youth leader would be provided for by ZANU-PF or individuals within the party. One of the senior organisers, Bini Butuakwa, of West Indian origin, was quoted at the weekend confirming the ZANU-PF’s recent show of support to Malema. “The Information Minister in Zimbabwe said that he will get him to come over and if he has a problem with paying he would cover the fare . . .”

But confidential sources say officials at Luthuli House, the headquarters of the ANC, are seething with anger at their fellow comrades north of the Limpopo — ZANU-PF.

“The belief at Luthuli House is that some ZANU-PF officials are indirectly sponsoring the militant Malema, materially and ideologically, to topple ANC president, Jacob Zuma at the party’s elective congress to be held at Mangaung in December with a view to disengage him from the seat of power,” said a source. ZANU-PF which used to have its way during Thabo Mbeki’s administration has been having it tough under Zuma who has become a stumbling block to the party’s survival strategies.

Zuma has stood his ground on the need for a new constitution in Zimbabwe and other accompanying political reforms before fresh elections could be held. Intelligence and diplomatic sources say certain ZANU-PF officials have been backing Malema in his fight to push Zuma out of power but they have not been smart enough to avoid a diplomatic furore. ZANU-PF youths have openly supported Malema who is baying for Zuma and Gwede Mantashe’s head at the elective Mangaung in December. Mantashe is ANC’s secretary general.

Organisations such as Chama cha Mapinduzi youth of the ruling party of Tanzania, Cuban and youths from Botswana National Front — Gaborone’s main opposition — have also pledged their support to Malema after he was expelled from the ANC. Malema’s strategy has not only found takers among a clique in ANC but in ZANU-PF as well which requires a pliant leader in Pretoria to shield itself from international criticism.
