EEF ATTACKS ON MK A DESPERATE MEDIA ATTENTION STUNT!

 EFF ATTACKS ON MK A DESPERATE MEDIA ATTENTION STUNT!.


Last week Sunday we were woken up the news and a video of one Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi an Economic Freedom Fighters(EFF) leader and a Member of Parliament attacking President Jacob Zuma. This shocked and angered many within the Black progressive camp, the shock and anger was informed by the fact that the Economic Freedom Fighters which is the third largest political party in South Africa and has been selling itself as a vehicle for carrying the hopes and inspirations of the downtrodden masses(Black people) is now working hand in glove with the White Monopoly Capital in dismantling any attempts at uniting Black people. President Jacob Zuma with his establishment of the UMkhonto WeSizwe Political Party has effectively provided all Black progressive formations with a platform to unite and work on a minimum program for the total liberation of the Natives as the 1994 dispensation has dismally failed to do. What makes Jacob Zuma and the UMkhonto WeSizwe Party such a viable vehicle for this project it is their ideological underpinning which at its base is the expropriation of land without compensation, nationalization of the mineral resources and the nationalization of the reserve bank.

If  you take a tour to the Economic Freedom Fighters founding documents and its manifestos you will find these issues are central to the EFF's cardinal pillars. With that in mind then a correct ideological line would be for the EFF to view the MK Party as an ally in the struggle to finally liberate a Black child, not view it as an opponent. The fact that the EFF is viewing the MK Party as an opponent then it calls into question the claim by the EFF that it is about the revolution, it simply gives an impression that the EFF is just another electoral party concerned with perks of Parliament. For any organization which is serious about the revolution and the economic emancipation of the Black masses it would never antagonize those who share the same ideological outlook and commitment. Some of  us were surprised but not shocked that the EFF launched this attack on President Zuma. Infact it is consistent with their behavior and conduct towards President Jacob Zuma, their attacks on President Zuma is what brought them the political mileage and media attention and popularity, it is not their credentials as a vehicle for the emancipation of a Black child that brought them the media spotlight. They actually made a career for themselves out of attacking President Zuma, as to who sent them to do so, well that one is still up for debate , but what is clear is that their attacks are to the benefit of the White Monopoly Capital.

The emergence of the UMkhonto WeSizwe Party has unfortunately eclipsed the Economic Freedom Fighters interms of the media attention, the EFF is an organization which thrives on the media attention hence their gimmicks. With the elections being a few days away the EFF is panicking that they are not receiving enough media coverage with that space now being occupied by the MK Party. The media spotlight on the MK Party is partly due to the court battles that it is waging as it is fighting off both the African National Congress and the Independent Electoral Commission which seemingly has availed itself as a weapon at the hands of President Jacob Zuma detractors. It is then out of ideological inconsistency , political immaturity, political jealousy and desperation that the EFF has chosen to attack President Zuma so as to bring the media spotlight unto themselves. However, there may even be a more sinister motive behind this attack, it is possible that the EFF is again being used by the White Monopoly Capital to weaken the Black solidarity project through attacking President Zuma.

The few next days leading up to the elections will surely unmask a whole lot of agendas.
What is certain is that as the Black solidarity camp we cannot afford another infighting, the enemy is one and that enemy is the White Monopoly Capital as represented by the Democratic Alliance and its subsidiaries in the so-called Moon Pact Shot and partly the sellout ANC of Ramaphosa. Our approach to the ANC of Ramaphosa is something which needs an entire article on its own.

STOP WEAPONIZING RAPE!!!.

By Teboho Sekhosana

 STOP  WEAPONIZING RAPE Rape carries a very serious stigma and reputational damage(correctly so). So whenever a person is accused of rape it should not be taken lightly. South Africa is one of the countries confronted with scary high number of rape and sexual assaults cases. For years I am one of the people who have been writing consistently against the the worrying trend of women falsely accusing men of rape. This has been case especially in the political space. This morning Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi was trending on X(formerly Twitter) and when I checked the reason for him trending that is when I came across a post from Daily Sun. The Daily Sun publication was issuing an apology to Dr Ndlozi . I will quote the apology by the Daily Sun "The Daily Sun herewith retracts all defamatory statements made and published by it on 11 to 12 April 2021 on its online website,and Twitter and Facebook accounts,in respect of the rape accusation against Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi,MP. The daily Sun

 WHAT HAS BECOME OF THE TSHIAME SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE(SEZ)?. Tshiame in Harrismith under the Maluti A Phofung Local Municipality in the Free State province is one of the areas which have been earmarked to benefit by having the Special Economic Zone.The Special Economic Zones within South Africa are geographically designated areas set aside for specifically targeted economic activities to promote national economic growth and exports by using support measures to attract foreign and domestic investments and technology . SEZ is an area in which the business and trade laws are different from the rest of the country.One of the major advantages of Special Economic Zones is that there is a clause of total exemption of the income tax on the income incurred via export through these SEZs. The Tshiame Special Economic Zone which has now been branded the Maluti a Phofung Special Economic Zone has been on the pipeline for decades as far as my memory can serve me. It is a project which in

 THE COMMUNITY OF GREATER TSHIAME FACES A BLEAK FUTURE UNDER THE MALUTI A PHOFUNG LOCAL MUNICIPALITY!. In my adult life I have not known any community which has had more misfortunes than the community of Greater Tshiame when it comes to the electricity and water provision. In the time just under a decade we have had close to five incidents of total power outage with the first major incident occurring in December of 2014 and the power was only restored in January of 2015. The second incident occurred in October of 2015 with the power only being restored in December of 2015. The third incident occurred in December of 2021, the power was only restored in January 2022. The fourth incident took place in February of 2023 with power only restored after three weeks. In all of the above mentioned incidents the community had to hit the streets in a protest before power was restored. It has somehow become a ritual of some sort that during or just before the festive season the communit
