The ineptitude of South African political leadership now too apparent
With the news that Tanzanian Airline has suspended its flights to South Africa on account of the xenophobic violence, the hand of the clock of evil is coming full circle on South Africa. What a disaster and what a failure! The ANC leadership is full of incompetent and heavily corrupt politicians who cannot see beyond their noses.
How could South African leaders so ineptly allow their country to be ruined with such blatant scapegoating of African immigrants? Since the end of Apartheid, it has been one blunder after the other. The early years were cushioned by the immense goodwill of Nelson Mandela. But apart from that, there were signs that the South African black politicians of the ANC are mediocre.
Thabo Mbeki blundered himself to the point of denying the existence of HIV, when the disease was killing his citizens in their millions. Then came Jacob Zuma, a corrupt drunk, who ended up being booted out of office. Cyril Ramaphosa who replaced Zuma turns out as incompetent coward who could not take responsibility for such monumental disaster as xenophobia!
When will they get it right? Do we need special reform that will ensure that the white South African politicians only will occupy certain portfolios in the executive council such as Foreign Affairs, Police and Justice?
