    Good for him.. A+C have done damage not taking the lead on this. Whenever somehting like this goes (timing and the way it occured) down i always wonder on a hidden agenda? Preplanned?? Who knows... i'm a real conspiracy theorist with anything to do with politics as they cant plan important things like electricity, but they can certainly plan how to keep there seat.

    Zapiro did this incredible cartoon of Trevor Manuel criticising the Premier Soccer League bosses getting R50 million in "commissions" for securing the ABSA Bank sponsorship.

    Trevor says "We can't have sports officials getting kickbacks"
    Next frame: "That's reserved for politicians."
    Complete with various politicos in the background with bags labelled "arms deal kickbacks, license kickbacks, municipal tenders, social grant kickbacks, golf estate kickbacks..."

    Carl's next career - politician! All the corrupt benefits without accountability.

    Oh this is sweet!
    The African National Congress (ANC) has not lost "moral authority" in South Africa, the party's general secretary, Gwede Mantashe, said on Wednesday.

    "The moral authority of the ANC as an organisation is one which will be tested by elections.

    "After April 22, society in South Africa will reaffirm the ANC as having moral authority in South Africa," he said at a joint press briefing with the Dutch Reformed Church in Johannesburg.

    Must be really nice to have "business" that you can stuff up continually and people just keep coming back for more..

    Heard a couple of great black comedians of 5fm the other day:

    When Mandela became president, some of the whites said "doll, thats it, packing my bags and getting outa here" Some did, some didn't and some came back.

    When Mbeki became president some of whites said ""doll, thats it, packing my bags and getting outa here" SOme did, some didn't and some came back.

    When Motlanthe became president, the whites had become tired of "leaving" so they did nothing.

    When JZ becomes pres, the blacks are saying "eish, how much is the visa for uk, i'm outta here"

    I wonder if the ANC even understands what the moral high ground is any more. Corruption and entitlement has become so embedded into their psyche, they seem to think it is normal and somehow acceptable.

    Part one was predictable.
    Democratic Alliance (DA) leader Helen Zille has called on her African National Congress (ANC) counterpart Jacob Zuma to step down as his party's presidential candidate in the coming elections.

    "Put your ambitions aside and act in the interests of the country and the Constitution by publicly stepping down," she said in an open letter to Zuma on Thursday.

    Her call was rejected by the ANC later in the day.

    Part two is interesting.
    Zille said that should Zuma be elected president without first having been exonerated -- by a court -- of the charges against him, the Constitution would be seriously undermined.

    "In fact, I have been reliably informed by senior members of the Bar that your election could be challenged in the Constitutional Court.

    "That is because your presidency would create a conflict of interest between your constitutional role as head of state and your status as an accused in a matter that has been brought against you by the state itself."
