The one thing that is getting more obvious as the years go by is that the ANC is fast losing relevance for many African people in South Africa, as they are being seen as a completely nepotistic and corrupt party that has lost all interest and impetus in carrying on the political aspirations of the ANC Founders.
This has become blatantly obvious through the ANC heirarchy becoming offensively Individualistic in their self-serving goals of self-enrichment and corrupt hegemonic bureacracy. The heirarchy can not even seem to agree on important issues anymore, as evidenced by the recent Jimmy Manye and Julius Malema incidents. Even the original tripartite alliance members: Cosatu & the Communist Party do not accept the actions and policies of the ANC, ahich is hopefully a welcome sign that there is hope for South Africa in the future.
With the recent Nationalisation Debate and the Ongoing Leadership Battle for the succession of power from Jacob Zuma to all of the upwordly ambitious junior leaders within the party, one can only wonder how long it will take for the ANC to lose power and be replaced by another party that wants to serve the people of this country (not just themselves)...
One has only to hear about the recent and very public inditements against Sheryl Cwele (Convicted Drug Smuggler) or Bheki Cele (Corrupt Police Commissioner involved in real estate tender scandal) or Julius Malema's Ratananga Trust Fund Scandal to realise that the rotten apple does not fall that far away from the tree trunk. Bare in mind that just after 1995 there was the widely condemned R249 Billion Arms Deal between the South African Government and several European Arms Manufacturers, which had the support and tacit agreement of nearly everyone of the top ANC Cabinet and Parliament Ministers. There has already been confirmation of the involvement of Tony Yengeni (new suv), Shabir Shaik (financial incentives), Thabo Mbheki (new shoes with help from former police commissioner and airplane) and Jacob Zuma (financial incentives and other million rand payoffs).
So when will the hammer fall? In the next ten to fifteen years, after the last of the struggle veteran leaders has served their time as president of South Africa. The sad thing is that the New South Africa will pass away into history in a shorter time period than what the Apartheid government took (26 to 30 years, as oppsed to 48 years)... And the South African people, especially the previously disadvantaged and currently explioted, will be in an even worse economic political position than what they were under Apartheid... Sad, but it makes you think doesn't it...
