We need a strong left opposition!

I am very worried. When the trade unions (especially Cosatu) and the South African Communist Party formed a left front against the tyranny of Capitalism, there seemed to be a breath of fresh air in South African politics, or so I thought. I am tired and I can attest that on the ground where I am, I continuously hear people, young and old, feeling tiredness and fatigue with the current ANC's and Thabo Mbeki's way of doing things. I love my country and my President, Mr Thabo Mbeki. He is without doubt one of the best administrators this country has had and I believe that for this specific leadership quality he deserves some praise. I am however tired or fatigued one might say, of being led by one person forever. One person with one style of leadership and one way of thinking! Eish, no, no, no! I definitely cant imagine another year with Thabo Mbeki on the helm of this country, let alone a so called "third term". I wonder which fools ever thought of introducing such a discourse into the public. Is this the beginning of human (or hero) worship in SA? The fact that some person is a good leader (if indeed he is), does not mean that he is supposed to be "poped". However this is a topic for another day. " Leaders who can't read the times and sense through a 6th (political) sense that Time is UP 'Baba'! I think Mr President should humbly step down. We'll explore this later in this month.
What is even more worrying however is that SACP and its leftist partner are beginning to fall into a political "wound leaking" as accusations are being thrown to and fro between their leaders. It is amazing that true freedom has always been hampered by disunity of the people (Divide and rule principle). South Africa will never be free until TOTAL FREEDOM OF THE BLACK PERSON IS FINALISED BY GIVING HIM BACK WHAT BELONGS TO HIM. I remember one preacher saying that 'the land shall not be sold forever'. Until that "Better life for all", "RDP (NOT OF THE SO CALLED "RDP OF THE SOUL" WHAT NONSENSE IS THAT, what an insult to the black South African?) and a true return of what belongs to us is brought back. The black man is fuming on the inside and is about to explode if not implode (and hence this much crime). Its amazing that it is the black person who, after all destruction against him, is today the one that is being pressured again to forgive and forget; to not speak about his previous bad past, and the white man who formerly( and maybe still does) oppressed is not bringing anything of apology or some consolation to the very people he oppressed. Instead once a black man raises the past, he will be named names. Almost everyone I meet on the streets of this country and in the corridors of Universities is sick and tired of the civilised and managed "apartheid" of the economy (Capitalism). The only answer I believe we would witness would have been to have a stronger SACP, COSATU and definitely a more "better life for all" people oriented President. Unfortunately indeed the mighty are fallen. The masses, the social and the left fail to unite against the tyranny that is continuously hindering true South African and African Freedom. No bad feelings, I just write what I think...

Any ways I wonder what really is going on about this Madisha - Ndzimande saga?
