    i dont like to getting involved in politics...but what i heard Tokyo sexwale
    say on TV before the election was that he will step down to let his former commanding officer of MK take the lead...what i am hearing is that all the people now elected are ex MK cadres so is this country gona be taken over like Zimbawe and run in a military fashion...i dont follow politics but just looking from the outside... wasnt winnie mandela also in some criminal scandel and managed to duck out of going to jail... maybe thats why she has been so quiet hoping everyone has forgotten...not forgetting vivian reddy from edison power who had to have his blaze of glory in the news the other day clearly paying his way to the top... getting every big goverment electrical contract which comes out regardless of the price... i hear because of all the millions of funding the ANC in the apartheid days...he is probably looking for a fat position in goverment now.

    i noticed over december 2 people i spoke to were busy selling up and moving their entire families to australia...both these people have big family run companies...the theory is that even if zuma doesnt cripple the enconomy in his term who will take over from him...rather get out now while they can still sell off their companies for a profit and start fresh will a couple million in the bank in austrialia rather than having the companies sound off at a loss then try start over with nothing...what is going to happen ...is there going to be a future for us...common people.

    an example... how are we going to survive...rumour has it that the electrical industry pension fund is going bankrupt or the money has gone missing...what will you do if you dont get paid out the money you have paid out for the past 45 into a fund thinking you will have a pension...live on a goverment pension...will there be one in 10 years time...i dont want to leave this country regardless of the way i am being descriminated against...i went to try get a job while the suncoast casino was being built i was told by the indian fella "sorry do you see any other white people working here, well what chance do you think we will give you work" this was project was run by edison power...maybe it is a good thing because i have heard their workmanship is so bad that the consultant dont want to hand over their sites...i had to retrench 15 black people in 1998 because i was not BEE compliant so i lost my contract with Durban metro...i am sure they all have jobs with the BEE companies doing the work now NOT.

    i stop at a robot and look left and right and i dont see previosly advantaged people driving the lastest top of the range land rovers and ml 450 mercs...i dont have previously disadvantage people as my neighbours maybe because i live in a lower income group area they all live in places like kloof /hillcrest now...drive cars which i dont think i could afford in my lifetime...dripping iin gold and the latest fashions...with an attitude... speaking english to impress.

    I've also heard the occasional rumble that JZ will not be convicted, but the number of charges in this last round has been quite an eye-opener.

    These are certainly interesting times... Not for the feint-hearted.

    Murdock, for the longest time I believed (and practiced) that business and politics do not mix. But I'm afraid politics and political interference has come into business to such an extent, it can no longer be ignored by business folk anymore.

    Despite getting the most votes in the NEC process, Winnie hasn't made the National Working Committee.

    M&G has the list here - complete with a few anecdotes.

    Probably of more immediate interest is the formation of an ad hoc committee to draw up a report on the Thint arms deal. The members of that committee are some very familiar names:
    • Kgalema Motlanthe: ANC deputy president.
    • Mathews Phosa: ANC treasurer general.
    • Jeremy Cronin: SA Communist Party deputy general secretary.
    • Sankie Mthembi-Mahanyele: Former ANC deputy general secretary.
    • Siphiwe Nyanda
    • Naledi Pandor: Education Minister.
    • Cyril Ramaphosa: Businessman.
    • Lindiwe Sisulu: Housing Minister

    With the future of the ANC president on the line, it looks like the heavy hitters have been brought out for this one.
