Counter-revolutionaries must be 'eliminated'

Malema's new word for "kill" is obviously "eliminate".

I am now becoming severely worried and not a little frightened.

For the first time in my life I am feeling that I have to start planning to move my famility out of this country. I can no longer trust the ruling party in any way.

How wonderful it would be to be like Malema and have all of the wisdom of God without access to the real facts. This kind of blind obedience is the fundamantal ingredient for the support of new emerging tyranical leaders of South Africa. Well we have seen it before in Africa and the results have always been the same, the end of democracy and the collapse of the economic order. We have forgotten any idea that there is strength in diversity or in the idea of holding different ideologies and convictions. Oh dear, if Malema has his way the rainbow nation will have one colour and one political party!

Malema is proof that you don't need a brain to work in politics.

Anyone who still wonders what lies in store for this fading Rainbow Nation after the diatribes of Malema (and others of his ilk) ahould read Jung Chang's 'Wild Swans.' It is the very people who's needs such a flawed ideology is supposed to serve who have to carry the brunt and the burden of the resulting and indeed inevitable tyranny which follows in its wake. Sic Transit Gloria Mundi!

Is it just me or is Malema sounding more and more like Mugabe? "Obliterate" the counter-revolutionary forces, read DA. So true to his word he is no longer using the word kill, but "obliterate" should suffice... God help us all if Malema is taken seriously, he will shed a lot of South African blood if he is not stopped.

The comment by Mr Malema on Zim is by far the best he has made in his public life, and if he can tackle sensitive issues like that he will become a good leader. on the same token if he uses words like eliminating people and organisations(as he has done in his speech), he will in a few years sound like Robert Mugabe. politicians must stop making statements that need to be explained later on.

TO Zihwela
I believe that you should reconsider the Zim comment. Who are the people that do not want Zimbabwe to succeed? There is only one party that is behaving like a spoilt brat. The country had an election that was clear even though half of the voting population was excluded from voting due to not being in their country. Malema's Zim comments have the same racial undertones that Mugabe states quite clearly.

The most basic principle of a democracy is that the party with the most votes wins. That is the only way to “eliminate” the opposition. What Malema is talking about is a war, and is what has led to many atrocities against mankind all over the world, including what is happening in Zimbabwe. On the one hand he is talking about how sensitive the issues in Zim are and on the crying for war. Like the leaders in Zim, he will eventually have to live with the consequences of the world that he is busy creating.

Malema, do you know the definition of democracy? What does democracy mean to you, if anything?
ANC is the ruling party, and to remain so, it must win again and again in fair elections, where there is more then 1 party to be elected (not like in Zimbabawe).
All these words of Malema are based on old ideology used by Mugabe and the like. For this country to move on, must realise that unity does not come in one race only, but that unity must co-exist with all races, with all parties, where no threaths are issued. And I don't mean that whites only should change their attitudes, but africans too! The most racist comments you get from whom? Do the whites use phrases like 'eliminate, oblitirate the opposition'? Or are these phrases use by people who are in power, but don't know how to use the power in a positive way?
"Give power to a stupid person, and he will abuse it." Thats precisely what is happening in this country.

"Oh brave new world with such people in it"

I would like to draw the moderators attention to point 4 "Racist, sexist or stupid comments will be terminated with extreme prejudice" In that event please stop quoting Mampara Malema in either your print or electronic format. If Psychopaths like this have the ear of the soon-to-be-cleared Umshini-wami-wielding JZ then we really are headed for disaster. By giving them space you are merely pandering to their already inflated ego's. I would like to suggest replacing his future rantings with the following: "The Mampara formerly known as Malema (A shoe-in for Minister of Propaganda) made attempts to incite his blind followers to break the law again - all in the interests of democracy. Nkosi Sikhelele South Africa"

Is it just me or does this trite sound really stupid.How can anyone taking the podium be allowed to spew out such filth so regularly.
Can Mr. Zuma not castigate these totally wayward elements that keep on dancing to the same tune, for SURELY if he is the kind of leader that he professes he is to the west; then he should realise that this is going a little too far.
BUT if he is not ,then God help this ,our beautiful country, as there is only one way it is heading.

The mixing of the Rainbow Nation is almost complete and it's name is Mud.

We who live outside of Africa despair at the continent's idea of democracy. "Kill", "eliminate", these are not the foundation of democracy. As your president stated, "Africa's problems must be resolved by Africans". Why then, does he then demand that the G8 countries, mostly European, increase monetary aid to Africa. Solve your own problems and keep my taxes down!

Our people deserve better, the Mbeki government is destroying the country and everything Nelson Mandela built and fought for. We complain about the US getting involved in Africa and our country, but we need to watch out for the enemies within our own government like Zuma or Julius Malema. The ANC leadership has grown weaker and more corrupt since Mandela stepped down, and if those two gentlemen have anything to do in our future government, GOD HELP US ALL!!

OH NO *SIGH*.... Everytime something negative happens that that might effect the ANC or an individual, they pull the "race card". Move on now, stop living in the past, it's been 14 years now, and honestly, all I see is blacks hating blacks, blacks hating Chinese and blacks hating whites, do we see the pattern here! You don't see me pulling the "reverse racism card" with all this BEE and affirmative action! It's my country too, I was born here and I will die here, and the only one I have! You freed the country, now take some responsibility for it and it's current state!

The ANC has a cancer spreading through it like a forest fire. This cancer needs to be cut out immediately before it destroys itself, and takes the country with it.

It's been 14 years now, what about the whites? Especially white males! Affirmative action is obviously not working, the signs are all around us, things are falling apart due to unqualified black males & females getting the jobs and not performing because they are hired on the colour of there skin! I understand what happened in the past and I don't agree with the apartheid era, as I said it's been 14 years now, this has to stop! I wasn't even born, yet I feel like I'm been punished for the sins of our fathers! I want to come back home and get a decent job in my own country, in my own hometown and not have to worry that I won't even be considered because I'm not black! Or is that the plan, make everything so bad (crime, employment, education etc) that all the whites that can leave the country, leave!

This is REVERSE RACISM, and these are not the actions of a democratic government thinking of the wellbeing of ALL it's people, black, white, coloured or Chinese! We are the Rainbow Nation and we should all be treated equally in the eyes of the government in all corners of society!! JLE

Malema is getting more support from Vavi, who decided to repeat his words, to spite the nation and everyone who condemned what Malema said. Now he changes the vocabulary, but stating exactly the same intentions. He gets support to be arrogant and even stupid from people who should guide him and give him direction. I'm afraid, with leaders like Malema SA is really going to end up just like Zim. Malema is arrogant and no one cares to reprimand him, because people are busy covering their tracks. If JZ is the leader that people would like to believe he is, he should take a stand and ask people not to send wrong messages to the nation on his behalf. Vavi and Malema are prophesing undying love and support for him, as the leader of ANC, he should intervene. This is getting out of hand, Malema is slowly but surely turning into a Mugabe, as I am sure he started by sending these types of messages.

The SA we grew to know and love does no Kill or Eliminate, Malema is learning to use the rhetoric always used by politicians arrogantly, without even considering consequences. With leaders like Malema I dont know where this country is going...
