A crisis in leadership

Many South Africans including honest members of the ANC have been vocal about appointment of Hlaudi Motsoeneng who earns above ministers and premier even without a year post matric certificate. To ensure his loyalty in propaganda, Motsoeneng is shielded and like President Jacob Zuma, he is now a pastor.
The president has been asked many times about what he knows about Inkandla R246m loot and said “I was not aware” when we all know that himself, four wives and more than 20 children frequent his palace and every year on Boxing Day, he dishes out presents to his community.
On the matter of Motsoeneng, he said “I do not know” the president is the CEO of our government and the buck stops with him.
Now that Number One is under siege from the Public Protector, he needs allies and Motsoeneng is a trusted ally against the Pubic Protector as is Joemat Paterson. Motsoeneng is untouchable.
We all know he tried to shield Pansy Tlakula but failed. In an attempt to transform SABC, the president appointed IFP Ben Ngubane to head the Board. If the current chairperson of SABC faked his academic qualification, why is ANCYL not campaigning to have her awarded the honorary degree?
ANCYL said they will campaign to have (Mr) Pallo Jordan awarded an honorary doctoral degree despite misleading ANC, communists, academics and “Clever Blacks” of having a doctoral degree.
Thembakazi Myaka was my colleague and classmates at the University of Natal and was a celebrity than AZASO/SANSCO activist but through connection in Black Management Forum, rose to be very close to Number One.
Like Jordan and Motsoeneng she lies so that she moves higher up when “Clever Blacks” ban midnight oil to acquire certificates.
If you want to be a councilor or member parliament, academic requirements are not necessary, that is why today we have crisis in the leadership, we have lowered our standards and “Clever Blacks” are led by people who left school during short break, who rise up by selling their conscience to the devil like Jordan who said “I made a mistake to have a pact with the devil”.
Gunning for the SABC Board chair but leaving out Pastor Motsoeneng is a selective prosecution. It is our president who is opening space for crooks or hook. Despite being a trusted henchman of the president, Julius Malema has agreed to pay SARS but the president is on the run from the Public Protector.
We are inspired by John Dube, Zacharia Matthews, Albert Luthuli, Oliver Tambo, Masabalala Yengwa, Yusuf Dadoo, Monty Naicker, Frene Ginwala, Zola Skweyiya, Pius Langa, Harry Gwala, Govan Mbeki, Thabo Mbeki and many “Clever Blacks” who in exile and in Robben Island prison befriended the books. Ridiculing “revolutionary intellectuals” as “Clever Blacks” is anti-Nelson Mandela philosophy. The current president cannot punish “Clever Blacks” but shield Motsoeneng.
Defending “Clever Blacks” is the defence of this motive force in the National Democratic Revolution and legacy of teachers Luthuli, Henry like Oom Gov, Gwala, Tambo, Makgothi, Epainette Mbeki, Neville Alexander, Njabulo Ndebele, Jakes Gerwel, Sbusiso Bhengu and so many academics who used “pen” and “brains” to study.
Please, Mr President, also get rid of Motsoeneng together with the Board chairperson.
