After a full week with plenty of opportunity to jump before he was pushed, now the pushing has started.
Our morally impoverished president of South Africa has today been given final notice from his own political party. He has been "recalled" in writing as a deployee of the party.
Now we will see just how disciplined a party member he is.
Will it be like Mugabe? that he will continue to cling to the presidency after all and sundry have instructed him to go?
If he still refuses to go there is a motion of no confidence in Parliament looming.
Will he like Mugabe finally resign only once those Parliamentary proceedings have begun? or will he try some other tricks? challenging the proceedings in court? He is notorious for delaying tactics using the courts. It is how he has been delaying answering corruption charges hanging over his head for over a decade.
One thing is certain, so far he has demonstrated the thickest skin, total lack of conscience, and complete unwillingness to do the right thing.
What slays me is how a man with his background and know to be corrupt could seize the reins of power in the ANC in the first place.
In the '80s NAT concentrated on disciplinary functions and guard duties in places such as Quadro (the ANC's main detention camp in Angola, sometimes known as Quatro), moving away from intelligence activities.
In 1987 Joe Nhlanhla was appointed director of the Mbokodo with Zuma his deputy.
A senior intelligence official testified to one inquiry that the "powers" of the Mbokodo were "pervasive". They did not consider themselves accountable "to the ANC generally or answerable to anybody specifically, other than its head".
The nature of Mbokodo can be best conveyed by an account of some of the allegations arising from the 1983 Quadro mutiny.
There have been three internal inquiries by the ANC into the camps scandal, and the horror stories that emerged are beyond dispute.
There were accounts of routine and bizarre acts of torture beatings with barbed wire, bicycle chains and iron bars and food and water deprivation.
Detainees were made to crawl through colonies of red ants with pig fat rubbed into their skin. A prisoner had his lips burned by cigarettes and his testicles squeezed with pliers; a detainee was buried up to his neck before being suffocated with a plastic bag; a woman had a guard masturbate over her because she refused to have sex with security officials. A trainee tried to commit suicide after his girlfriend was "taken away". People were locked up in goods containers, in suffocating conditions. And people simply disappeared.
According to the Motsuenyane Commission report the most comprehensive of the inquiries there were also "rumours of rampant embezzlement of funds, illicit dealings in precious minerals and theft of motor cars" by leaders of NAT.
Thanks to Zuma's predilection for secrecy, his part or otherwise in all this is difficult to discover. He is quoted fatuously in Gordin's book as saying details of the "operational events of those days" were the "property of the ANC, not his".
The little that is known about Zuma's "missing years" is no more than a confusion of dates to be found in government biographies and listings of commanders submitted to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Two murders are central to the story of the Mbokodo. The first is that of Mzwakhe Ngwenya, better known by his nom de guerre of Thami Zulu, or TZ.

I came across a video where Zuma had called in a black journalist for an interview this afternoon, in that interview, Zuma said that NOBODY had charged him with a crime or told him why he must resign and that therefore, he would rather let things happen through parliament. At the time I watched the interview, it had been up for maybe only an hour and I recall that only 178 people had watched this interview with Zuma in his office in Pretoria. Zuma expressed ZERO intent on resigning today or any time soon. In fact, he spoke about leaving, at the soonest, June this year and that they should all work together in the ANC. Something HUGE went down, and it may be many years before we know the truth. But something BIG went down. I am wondering if the US Govt’s ambassador paid him a visit. Do not underestimate America and Europe. They have a big presence in Southern Africa.
Heres a link to a post I (@nc-mgtow) just made about this https://steemit.com/news/@nc-mgtow/jacob-zuma-has-resigned-and-a-weird-fact-about-zuma-s-resignation
Thanks for reading.
Great post, I think lots of things are going to come out now! Following YOU!

This is too embarassing for Zuma. He can't even feel the shame.. After years of bad leadership he still can't feel wrong for what he has done for the South African people. If he doesn't respond to the summons by he's party, he's going to end he's reign so belittled like Mugabe.
This is a lesson to the rest of African leaders who use some of their powers for personal gains.
Interesting comment! I'm not saying he's innocent or guilty, but... How do you know that? Following YOU @musamalijames
Men of your leaders age who have control are frequently hesitant to surrender it since then they believe they will day and at times they do. Some portion of the reason they get control in any case to avoid internal evil presences of not being in charge.

Men of your presidents age who have power are often reluctant to give it up because then they feel they will day and sometimes they do. Part of the reason they get power in the first place to ward off inner demons of not "being in control."
Great point, Following YOU @simivalleyjeff53
I still can't understand how someone with so much baggage and also integrity-challenged was allowed to run for the highest office in the land. His judgement or lack of it has always been questionable. If someone can sleep with an HIV positive woman unprotected, and truly believe having a thorough scrub afterwards is an antidote, then, you don't have to be too surprised why he has ended up where he is. Thanks @gavvet for this post, it is truly appreciated.
Thanks for your insightful and relevant comment! I'm not saying he's innocent or guilty, but how do we know these things? Are we not making a bunch of assumptions? Following YOU @delphia16
If the people are not willing to fight corruption and already accepted their sad faith, then nothing will change whoever is in position.
This might be a generalization, but they are all the same. Corruption in Africa is big problem and politician will not solve it.

Great post...
Thank for sharing...

Wow. Sounds so calloused. I wish more humans lived up to what we are called, kind. Humankind.
I see some similarities to this man and Trump...
That’s what I was thinking also as I read it!
This is a very important call to bring down leaders that re just monsters in office, this call should not just be from his polity party, let the citizens of South Africa come out in mass and demonstrate their frustration from corrupt leaders like Mr. Zuma. I have lived my life witnessing political leaders in our dear African countries parade affairs of the nation as if its their personal properties. I must tell you that i lay my support to bring down Jacob Zuma, and so to all other African nations. God bless for sharing this.

Unfortunately politics is like this everywhere it is just a matter of how well the politicions keep their corruption hidden.
Have you heard this joke?
Politics is like a sewer, the biggest turds rise to the top!
@canadianrenegade the truth.
It's sad to see that a person so corrupt could be so influential.
And Americans like to complain about our president so much. Good lord...

I fear for South-Africa's future.
Bad leadership is the canker worm that is destroying Africa. Nigeria is going through the same ordeal

very nice
these problems are now universal - the elite class just sticks around, regardless of who has given them marching papers. i'm still hoping that trump and clinton will march off into the sunset and dr. stein will do some leading for a while! :)
Its a time for change, Now lots of new things going to happen,Hope everythings goes good and wishing him the best of luck to serve people with the best of his abilities.
Great comment love your point of view so so valuable! Following YOU!
He is buddies to Mugabe, corrupt bunches.
Hopefully Africans in diaspora would be willing to come back home to come make meaningful impacts instead of being scared away never to come back...
Hello good afternoon! How can I get help to improve the quality of my content? Who could help me in this? You have very good content, I would like to have more experience to show more entertaining content to the public of this platform, thanks!
Galatians 6:8 |
"For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." It would seem that corrupt men and women are coming to the forefront today...all over the world. This certainly is a sign to me. I found your post interesting and informative.
@gavvet.Zuma being ordered by his party's executives council is long overdue.He has some many skeleton in his cupboards and he is not ready to own up to his misdeeds.I think many party executives in Africa's political parties should take a cue form ANC and took the bull by the horn to kick these kind of corrupt leaders out of office.
I hope they get him out and make sure that he doesn't get his salary, housing etc. He has already done enough to harm the country, that will just make it worse.

politics does not mean to think of people to do :)
These so called freedom organisations really need to be exposed. The African National Congress was far more evil than The Apartheid government. They were just a bunch of cruel, criminal thugs waiting to grab power and enrich themselves. The people of South Africa never mattered.
Zuma was trained by the KGB. He is a very intelligent fellow and also very dangerous. Saw something on twitter from a parody account that made me think:
Don't take your eyes off Cyril though. He is also a very dangerous guy. If you ever speak to someone who was in jail or a warden during apartheid then ask them what kind of person is Cyril. You will hear the same response.
Nice article! Check out please my article about VLAD the Impaler fortified church. Thank YOU for supporting my work! 🙂

I saw your writing and read it
How is your position or status in this case Mr.gavvet
I ask because I am the first person to see you because I am a newcomer to inculcate
From the results of my analysis of the news you wrote, to be honest I was horrified by the leadership in such a way.
We in Aceh also feel the same but not when you write.
From one side I am not a political expert but I do not want to be politically blind.
The dictatorial leadership has become regenerated, That's what some people think. but the leadership itself has increased greatly from the nature of the Dictator.
Did this cause happen?
Sir @ gavvet, Can you comment on what I am asking.
The Nazis are a nightmare for the world.
and also the PKI Gang in Indonesia, while in the region, many of the Geng names in the political sphere led to war.
In this case what is the solution of Mr @ gavvet
I want to be friends with you and I'm happy with your comments about politics in the world
greetings @ badratulnafis
wow very beautiful collection I love it so much, thanks for sharing
Great reporting @gavvet my hopes and prayers are with your country!
Well, waking up this morning with the good news that Zuma stepped down last night and a soft breath of fresh rain greeting Johannesburg this morning; it's almost prophetic and leaving all South Africans with hope and a little relieve...
Beautiful & amazing
