No right way to do the wrong thing

Open Letter to President Jacob Zuma from an ordinary citizen
Mr President-
I was tempted to say “Dear Mr President”….but I won’t cos there is no time for niceties and courtesy in this hour – and I will get to the point quickly.
For the record I am a very ordinary citizen of KwaDukuza and hold no office like the many noble leaders that assembled at Constitution Hill on 6 April 2016 to make statements on the matter of your presidency.
Mr President, I am certain that you are aware that there is a groundswell of opinion and opposition to you continuing to serve as the president of our country. In my humble view you would have limited the damage to our country (and the ANC) had you gracefully stepped down after the damning and definitive Constitutional Court ruling – however you chose to stay; and sadly the ANC majority ensured that you continue in office by voting against the impeachment motion tabled by opposition parties in parliament.
History is going to judge you and the once noble ANC – the same ANC that was in the forefront of the liberation struggle and brought a democratic dispensation for our nation. I am still of the opinion that there are many “good men” of conscience in the ANC that are silent and allowing “evil” to prosper; for it has been rightly said “that evil prospers where good men remain silent”.
From your conduct and statements I get the impression that you relish being in the centre of all these accusations and controversies.
Mr President, you have tarnished the image of that noble office and my sympathy lies with the future incumbent who has to restore the image of that office. Sadly I will have to say I have lost all respect for you as president and my prayer is that the sooner you go the better.
Mr President, there is a beautiful Isizulu expression that reads “Ayikho indlela engcono yokwenza into embi” and translated loosely into English would read: “There is no right way to do the wrong thing”. This is exactly what you (and your NEC) are guilty of. You cannot justify your evil and greedy actions no matter what justification you may use. Wrong is wrong. Period. Do not, Mr President, continue to justify your actions. The ordinary people (like me) have seen through you. How do you sleep, Mr President? For the peace of your mind; your health and indeed your life I implore you to do the right thing . . . for there is no right way to do the wrong thing!
