South Africa : SiS Zulile...what do you know about >South Africa's Mbeki resigns afer power struggle

Sister true - there is no good or bad guy - both are good guys with different strengths and work well together politically, despite the personal battle between them - and they will likely continue to do so as the parties aims are uniform. The main political agenda and policies remain the same, whether it is Zuma or Mbeki at the helm.

There is no political opposition. The exchange is more a vote of confidence than much else. If you know the personal history of both men, you can see why the people would have chosen Zuma to be the next leader - it is not tangible change that's coming - just the face of it. A face people can believe in ;)

It remains to be seen if Zuma can deliver, but that's the case with any new leadership, isn't it.



Hey SiS Zulile!

Ok....work with me a minute. I'm trying to overstand just who would be considered the "good guy" and whom the "bad" of Mbeki and Zuma.

Am I to liken Mbeki with Bush and Zuma with Cynthia McKinney for example. Keeping in mind that Bush is the "bad guy" while McKinney, for Afreekans here, would be the "good guy":?:
Yet when you say the leadership change in "in-party" then that suggest to me something like us going from Bush to McCain. Is that the right equivalent of where things stand there in SA now:?:

As a SA of conscious Revolutionary thought, who would you want in leadership:?: I think in the end, that's what I'm looking for. And not just "you", yet, those Afreekans on the continent residing in SA, who are of Pan-Afreekan Revolutionary minds....who/what do they wish to see happen:?:

For me here in amerikkka, I'd like to see Cynthia McKinney in the top leadership position...her and/or other's with her mindset.

M.E.
:hearts2:

I read once that a part of the ANC is looking for more radical reforms.Such as taking important farm land back from whites,changing the name of the streets,cities ,airports,etc.. Does Zuma represent this school of thought?
Have any of these plans been put into action yet? I heard that they are changing the name of the airport in one of the larger cities,I forget which one.

While Mbeki stabilized the economy, creating a vast Black Middle Class, Zuma promises to decrease the poverty gap some more. Zuma is more socialist/populist :donttell: than Mbeki, with much support from the Communist Party and the ANC Youth League. Highly unlikely land reform will be moved along any quicker though, as it is foreign investment/the economy that dictates, not the other way around - and there will be no major changes to the economic plan/budget.

Several streets, cities, airports and institutions had their names changed more than a decade ago - and it is still happening as we move along. Didn't you get the memo? :lol:

Land reform has always been on the table - but if you're expecting a repeat of Zimbabwe, that's not going to happen. What a domino effect/result! :eek:

Without a doubt, commercial/agricultural land reform is going along very slowly - too slowly. I believe only about 5% has been transferred back to date (supposed to be up to 30% by 2014) I'm guessing it's a very fine balance. But no-one will disagree (but white folk) that it is painstakingly slow indeed.
