Mantashe takes tough line on left

Subseqeunt to Recession, The SA Reserve Bank and The National Planning Commission have turned into, our government economic development a cetral nerve. This precisely that, the Ultra-left charaterist by dodgy fugitive individuals who are waiting to loot the state coffers. The is no an coherent economic change they will bring but power grab to further affirm there antagonism. I like it Cde Manthashe, when you say we should bring people who will add value to the Commission, not BEE wannabe to ethnic enterprenuers, to fugitive from the legal fratenity and the ever dodgy fellow travellers.

He didn't actually say much, did he?

What a waste of time reading the rambling of an ego-inflated politician who uses all these words to say just so little.

Even the journalist in question must have been a very timid interviewer, if these are just the questions he asked.

Blah blah blah incoherent imbeciles - stop talking so much and get on with your so called jobs

Well, the last part about the union being a representative of workers with limited responsibilities is welcome. Just say it loud and clear to morons such as Solly Phetoe and his unions that have destabilized municipalities in the North West and elsewhere. Service Delivery is a direct outcome of labour input which is in turn paid a salary. 2009 cannot be counted as one year in which service delivery took place in the province but Phetoe's henchmen have been paid for doing nothing... Talk and address real issues Gwede! Oh and take extra english classes or speak Xhosa man.

Rose,

As Afrikans we should not be worried about english but the content the person is conveying, that Sisi is key and everything. Animal Farm-1209 knows that language is just the medium to convey the message and not the massage in itself.

Animal Farm-1209 has never heard Afrikans being critical of vetoes trying to express themselves in our beautiful Afrikan languages, in-fact we become impressed when they are trying. When an Afrikan is battling with the creature’s language all hell breaks loose, yintw’ enjani lena maan!

Animal Farm-1209 was listening to SAfm last week and Minister Blade Nzimande was there as guest in Sis' Siki Mgabadeli’s 09h00 to 12h00 program.

Animal farm-1209 was heart-broken when some callers who made requests to express themselves in one of our languages were turned down because that is an “english program”.

Animal Farm-1209 has never heard any person who expressed himself in the creature’s language being asked to express in an Afrikan language when the program is done in our languages.

Animal farm-1209 is not saying it should be free for all but when a request is made the rules should not be indifferent to our people. Maybe this is a symptom that 15 years into democracy we still have not transformed and in-fact we have legitimized and further entrenched some racist stereotypes.

Animal farm-1209 is for complete transformation of our society and not this….!!

Fair enough Animal Farm-1209

Freedom Ndlovu just loves Animal Farm 1209. To those useless Afrikans who persist on recolonilizing their children with English, shame on you. Your children will know less because of your stupidity.

Freedom Ndlovu, my good chap, you're guilty of using the "coloniser's" language yourself, writing in English on this forum. Moreover, you're using the "coloniser's" technology to do so. What exactly are you advocating then? English is the global lingua franca of science, business, diplomacy, etc. whether you like it or not. Denying your children access to English is shutting them off from a world of opportunity. That's not doing them any service, is it?

You should be ashamed Rose, looking down on someone because they can’t speak proper English (according to your lofty standards) and suggesting that they “downgrade” to isiXhosa.

I hope you can still pronounce your surname properly
