  SHOULD PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA FIRE MINISTER NKABANE?  The Minister of Higher Education Dr Nobuhle Nkabane has been on the news lately for all the wrong reasons. She appeared in the Parliamentary Committee for Higher Education just above a month ago, it is in this committee where she was taken to task about her decision to appoint a number of individuals into the boards of SETAs. These individuals were not being appointed as ordinary members of the boards but they were being appointed as Chairpersons to these SETA boards. Now , someone who may be hearing or reading about this for the first time may want to ask a question "what is wrong  with these individuals being appointed as Chairpersons to the SETA boards?", well these individuals are cadres of the co-governing African National Congress(ANC) and their appointment would have signaled the highest form of blurring of the lines between Party and State. Who are these "individuals"?. One of...

 WHY IS ACTION- SA  LYING ABOUT THE EXISTENCE OF THE BLACK MONOPOLY CAPITAL?. Today the ActionSA political party held a press briefing and among the issues they spoke about is the question of White Monopoly Capital vs Black Monopoly Capital. Strangely the ActionSA is suggesting that in South Africa there is what they call the Black Monopoly Capital. This leaves one with a number of questions about the intellectual, ideological capacity of that organization. Indeed if the ActionSA had any intellectual and ideological capacity they would have known that there is no such a thing as the Black Monopoly Capital. Do they even understand the definition of the term Monopoly?,because if they did then they would not have embarrassed themselves in this fashion. Maybe we should be kind enough to help ActionSA with the definition of the term Monopoly "The exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service". Now having assisted the ActionSA with ...

 WILL THE ANC/SACP ALLIANCE SURVIVE THE SO-CALLED GNU?. There's been public spats between the African National Congress and its alliance partner the South African Communist Party since the formation of the grand coalition between the ANC and the Democratic Alliance, of course this grand coalition has been clothed as a Government of National Unity. As explained on several times this arrangement does not meet the minimum requirements of a Government of National Unity therefore it lacks all the characteristics of a Government of National Unity. The South African Communist Party General Secretary Solly Mapaila had an interview with Dr Sizwe Mpofu Welsh on his Youtube platform . It is in this interview where the SACP General Secretary reiterated their unhappiness with the ANC's decision to go into a coalition with the racist and neo-liberal Democratic Alliance. Mapaila did not mince his words as he termed this move by the ANC as a sellout deal. He characteriz...

 WHY DID FLOYD SHIVHAMBU DROP THE EFF FOR MKP? On Thursday the 15th August 2024 South Africa was greeted by the shocking news of the departure of one Floyd Shivhambu from the Economic Freedom Fighters. The Economic Freedom Fighters convened a Press Briefing in which Floyd Shivhambu announced his decision to leave the Economic Freedom Fighters to join the uMkhonto WeSizwe Party. Floyd Shivhambu did not provide the reasons behind his departure and promised to speak when the time is right and did not want to utilize the platform of the EFF as that would be tantamount to campaigning for the MKP on the EFF platform. Plenty of speculation has followed, with different media platforms reporting on the fallout between the two leaders who established the EFF. Floyd Shivhambu is a founding member of the Economic Freedom Fighters, together with Julius Malema they established the EFF back in 2013 this is after their exit from the ANC. Julius Malema was expelled from the ANC whilst F...
