“Let us make it clear now: we are prepared to die for Zuma. Not only that, we are prepared to take up arms and kill for Zuma.”
The Times | ‘We are willing to kill if Zuma is tried’
In May 1994, white South Africans thought this was all behind them. "Move on," they said. "Get over it. Stop living in the past."
Dumb bastards.
And today?
Helen Zille, premier of the Western Cape, responding to ANC agitprop from Zuma's new Minister of Women, Youth, Children and Disabled People — Noluthando Mayende-Sibiya — on the composition of her provincial executive, stated (among other, better-phrased comments): "Zuma is a self-confessed womaniser with deeply sexist views, who put all his wives at risk by having unprotected sex with an HIV-positive woman."
Like nothing else, the truth always elicits strong reaction.
HELEN ZILLE CONTNUES TO EXCEL AS NUMBER ONE RACIST AND DESTRACTOR OF GENDER STRUGGLES
12 May 2009: The ANC YL is disgusted by remarks attributed to the racist girl Helen Zille, who when failing to defend her stupid and sexist decision to appoint predominantly white males into her cabinet, attacks the President of the Republic of South Africa. The ANC YL calls on Helen Zille to respect the office of the President of the Republic of South Africa and stop making stupid and degrading remarks against President Jacob Zuma.
Zille has appointed an all male cabinet of useless people, majority of whom are her boyfriends and concubines so that she can continue to sleep around with them, yet she claims to have the moral authority to question our President.
If the fake racist girl Zille continues to speak hogwash like she has been doing during elections, we will take militant action against her, and demonstrate to her that she does not have monopoly over the Western Cape.
The fake racist girl who was dropped on a head as child should understand that South Africa will never be a Mickey-mouse Republic like she wants to portray it. An absolute majority of South Africans support President Jacob Zuma and will find it very disgusting for a fake racist apartheid agent to continue undermining the highest office in South Africa.

The
Democratic Alliance (DA), a party for which I’ve not voted, has been led by women inside and outside of government and parliament several times. The ANC has not, in its 97-year history, found a single woman suited to such a leadership role.
Lynne Brown, ANC premier of the Western Cape until ousted late in April, fielded an 80 percent male cabinet. In fact, the old movement seems still to leave most matters in the hands of “the men”.
The Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association has threatened to render the Western Cape ungovernable if its Premier Helen Zille continues "insulting" newly-elected President Jacob Zuma.
"Should Helen Zille not refrain from this anti-African and racist behaviour, we are not going to hesitate, but craft and launch a political programme aimed at rendering the Western Cape ungovernable," MKMVA chairperson Kebby Maphatsoe said in Johannesburg on Wednesday.
Maphatsoe said this was not intended to send the wrong message to the world, but that veterans could not sit back while Zille cast disdain on Zuma's cultural preferences.

Shades of
Hitler Hunzvi? As far as I'm concerned, you needn't send any message to the world, Bubba;
President Jacob Zuma did so a long time ago.
I've been watching the comments appended to articles in the papers online.
Few South Africans appear to be aware of the
extent and severity of blowback they're likely to see emanating from our apartheid past.
Increasingly, white commenters are being told to "Go home" — to Germany, Holland, England, etc.
The hothead rules in times of desperation and unreason. Too young to have experienced apartheid, the average South African is deeply embittered. Continuing inequity and deprivation has been his or her lot and they resent it like hell. AIDS, poverty and a lack of opportunity have combined to form a lethal cocktail of anger and violence — which, when manifested as xenophobia last year, could safely be ignored by the wealthy elite.
Times have changed.
Spurred by fast-developing recessionary social ills, that anger is homing in on its target. With a life expectancy of 45, apartheid's children far outnumber the reasonable; those who realise that, because our histories are so different, we have to work that much harder to make it together.
Despite her propensity for telling it like it is, Helen Zille remains one of the most level-headed and fair-minded leaders we have. Yet, what are our youth expected to feel? How do we expect them to behave? Why are Rwanda, the DRC, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Somalia, Nigeria, etc. so different to us?
They're not. Did we really expect to get off so easily?
Now that lobotomized South Africans are urging each other to "give Zuma a chance" — conveniently forgetting his ascent to the presidency cost us the Constitution and judicial independence (what are the odds on
Judge John Hlophe walking?), the world no longer needs our platitudes.
Especially from the friends of Jacob Zuma.
One of the saddest moments and the dawn of the worst new era have come to the province of the Western Cape and its people. The intensification of racist and sexist principles of the DA (Devils’ Alliance) has reached its highest levels. The DA clearly also has no future oriented perspective as it has continually snub young people in its decision making structures, no wonder no single inclusion in the cabinet.
Not even feeling disgusted, ashamed nor any excuses for her racist and sexist appointees, she goes on to justify her exclusivist cabinet as the best she could find in the province.
As the ANC Youth League we are convinced that once again the Devil Alliance led by the racist power-monger girl has pushed us too far. The arrogant exclusion of women in the cabinet of the province which is mostly populated by skilled and intelligent women is the reverse of the gains that the women of this province and the country have gained in the last fifteen years of democracy.
