XENOPHOBIA IN SOUTH AFRICA!!!

As True And Real As This Anger Is Here In South Africa May Well Be.

Why’s This Anger Being Taken Out On A Vulnerable Minority Who Are Not Responsible For The Lot Of The Majority Nor For The Mismanagement Of The Resources That Belong To South Africa And It’s People. They’ve Not Missused South Africa’s Tax Money?

The Resources That Has Been Waisted On Nkandla, And Waisted Elsewhere, Instead Of Being Used To Maintain And Upgrade Our Services And Improve The Wellbeing Of All South Africans And All Who Live Within It’s Borders.

xenophobia, wordsout

Why’s This Anger Not Directed To Where It Should Go?

Why’s This Anger Not Directed At Or Vented At The ANC The Government? After All They Show About As Much Contempt For Their People / Voters Who Voted Them In?… Just A Thought.

Why Was This Anger Not Taken Out On The ANC Government? This Is Their Responsibility And They’re To Blame. So Why Was This Anger Not Taken Out On The Ruling Government On Election Day Last Year?

HELEN ZILLE CALLS IT A DAY AS DA LEADER.

On Sunday Afternoon  April 12th 2015 Democratic Alliance (DA) Leader Helen Zille
Announced That She Will Not Be Making Herself Available For Nomination Or Re
Election As Leader Of The DA, At The National / Federal Convetion To Be Held In
May 2015. 

Helen Zille Has Lead The DA For Approximately 8 Years. During Which
The DA Has Seen It's Voter Following Grow During Every Election Under Her
Leadership. 

During Her Leadership The DA And The Independent Democrats Lead By
Patricia De Lille Merged. This Proved To Be Very Popular. 

Under Her Leadership
She Has Expanded The DA Voter Following To Approximately 22% Of The Electorate
Making The DA Decidedly The Biggest Opposition. 

During Her Leadership She Also
Held The Office Of Mayor In Cape Town.

This Post Eventually Has Been Handed
Over To Deputy Leader Of The DA Patricia De Lille.
 
Currently Hellen Zille Is
The Incumbent  Premier Of The Western Cape. It's Also Under Her Watch That She
Has Made Sure That The Western Cape Has Remained Decidedly DA And Out Of The
African National Congress' (ANC) Control, Despite The ANC's Attempts To Make The
Western Cape Ungovernable, A Strategy Which Has Largely Backfired On The ANC.


Helen Zille Was Actively Anti - Apartheid Prior To Her Political Career Within
The DA. But Since Her Leadership Within And Of The DA Has Been Defined As One Of
Defending And Entrenching South Africa's Constitution Which Is The Backbone And
Key To Defining South Africa As A Liberal Constitutional Society Where All Are
Equal Under The Constitution And Before The Law.  This Was Highlighted With Her
Tireless Determination To Have The Evidence With Regards To The Arms Deal
Scandal Which Was Classified Made Public. This Resulted In A Famous Court
Victory In Cape Town And The Court Ordered That The NPA Who Had Tried To Keep It
Buried, Hand The Evidence Over To The Attorneys Representing DA. 

As Opposition
Leader She Has Done An Enormous Amount Of Good And Will Be Sorely Missed. We
Hope That She Will Not Be Totally Absent. But We Most Certainly Do Say Thank You
For All You've Done For The DA And For South Africa As Leader Of The DA. We Wish
You Well And Every Success For The Remainder Of Your Term As Premier Of The
Western Cape.

NIGERIA DECIDED 2015: NICE ONE YOU SHOWED THEM How IT’S DONE

On Saturday March 28th.2015, Nigeria Went To The Polls And Voted For A New
President In An Election Which Was By And Large Peaceful And, Which Hence Can Be
Determined As Successful. 

Since It's Independence In 1960, This Oil Rich Northwest African Territory With An  Atlantic Coastline And Which Has So Much Prospects, Has Battled To Establish Itself As A Liberal Constitutional Society. This Being That Since Independence, Nigeria HasBeen Plagued With Failed Republics And Military Regimes. 

The Last Election In 2010 Which Saw The Incumbent Goodluck Johnathan Elected To Office, Although Free And Fair, Was Never The Less Marred By Violence Which Claimed Approximately 800 Lives. So Leading Up To This Election, Concerns About A Free, Fair AndPeaceful Election Were A Given. 

Goodluck Johnathan.  Incumbant President And Peoples Democratic Party Leader. (PDP)

Muhammad Buhari. Leader Of The Opposition All Progressives Congress. (APC). Leading Presidential Candidate Ahead Of The March 28th 2015  Presidential Election.

Muhammad Buhari. Leader Of The Opposition All Progressives Congress. (APC). Leading Presidential Candidate Ahead Of The March 28th 2015 Presidential Election.

What Made These Concerns All The More Real Was The Mood Within Nigeria. That Being The Growing Disillusionment With The Ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) GovernmentLead By Goodluck Johnathan And It's Inability To Address The Ever Growing Threat
Of The Radical Islamic Terrorist Group Boko-Harram, This Being One Of The
Reasons Among Others For Nigerian Disillusionment. 

As A Result The Opposition All Progressives Congress(APC), Lead By Former Dictator Muhammadu Buhari Was Now The Popular Alternative. Muhammadu Buhari Was Also A 
GeneralIn Nigeria's Military And This Appeared To Make Him The Confident Choice To 
Deal With The Growing Threat Of Boko-Harram. That Among Other Issues As Well.  

Now That It Appeared That The Buhari Lead ACP Was The Popular Choice To Win The 2015Election, These Real Concerns Began To Figure All The More, This Due To The Fact 
That Africa Has A Record Of, And Is Known For  It's Liberation Leaders, Their 
Notorious Claim To And Their Vice Grip Hold Over Power. That Being, Once They're In Power They Are Reluctant To Relinquish It. Hence They Are Difficult To Remove From 
Power. Even Defeat Through The Ballot Box Is No Guarantee That They Will Go Quietly,Certainly Not Without Some Sort Of Struggle Involving A Certain Deal Of Violence. 
All Considered, These Concerns Were Real.

But:

In Answer To These Concerns Though, Goodluck Johnathan, Made It Clear That If The 
Electorate Voted Him Out He Would Concede Defeat And Would Respect The Decision Of 
Nigeria's People. 

The 28th Of March 2015 Arrived, And The People Voted:

The Presidential Election Result Was
As Follows:

Candidates:                         Party:   Popular Vote      Percentage
Goodluck Johnathan / Namadi Sambo. (PDP)     12 853 162        43.67%

Muhammadu Buhari / Yemi Osinbajo.  (APC)     15 424 921        52.41%

Goodluck Johnathan, True To His Word, Conceded Defeat. When It Was Apparent That 
He'd Lost The Election, He Called Muhammadu Buhari To Congratulate Him On His 
Victory At The Polls. Then He Conceded Defeat Publicly.

The Election Had Gone Down Well, It Was Called Free And Fair With Little To 
No Violence Hence All Things Considered, Peaceful. All Things Concidered It Was A 
Success. 

Although Beaten In This Election, Goodluck Johnathan Had Emerged From It With A 
Great Deal Of Respect And Admiration. Under His Leadership, Nigeria Had Raised The 
Bar And Set The Standard Higher Concerning Free And Fair Elections, Moreover, 
The Standard Had Been Raised In Africa As FarAs Liberal Constitutional Societies AreConcerned. 

The Acid Test Of A Truly Liberal Society Is Not Simply Because The Popular Party Is In Power Irrespective Of Whether Or Not, That Party Happens To Be The Popular 
Liberation Movement Of The Time. Even So, Just Because That Popular Liberation 
Movement Happens To Be In Power, And Even If It Was Voted In, That Does Not Make AndNor Does It Mean That, That Particular Society Concerned Is Truly Liberated. 
The Acid Test For A Truly Liberated Society Is When The Society Concerned Is Free 
And Confident Enough To Vote Any Government Out Of Power In A Free And Fair 
Election. Even IfThat Government Happens To Be, A Once Popular Liberation Movement. 

Nice One Nigeria, You've Shown The World And You've Shown Africa That It Can Be 
Done. Now It's Up To Africa And The World To Take Note.
 
Even So Nigeria Has Raised The Bar, And That's Good On You.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME BLACKCAPS

Congratulations On An Absolutely Awesome World Cup BlackCaps.

Yes Pity About The Final, Even So It’s No Shame To Have Lost The Final. What Is Important Though, Is That Another Milestone Has Been Achieved In BlackCaps Cricket. More Importantly, There Are A Great Deal Of Positives To Take Out Of This Enormously Successful Cricket World Cup 2015.

It Was No Accident That The BlackCaps Reached The Final In Melbourne. Nor Was It By Accident That On Route To The Final, They Topped The Pool A Standings. Perhaps The Only Negative I Can Find On Route To The Final, Was The Fact That The Only Match They Got To Play Away From Home Or On Foreign Turf Was The Final. Not That This Can Ever Placed At Their Doorstep, After All This Was How The Organisers Had It Set Up. Neither Can This Place Any Question Over Their Ability To Win…
