When does the work start?

I understand in the media, Zuma is reported to visit Johannesburg today to thank the voters for their support in the election. It is already a month after the election and it seems that the partying is never going to stop. When are you planning to get down to actual work? Rather dont answer me for I'm so tired to be called a racist or being lied to. Bringing me to another thorn in my side: why is it that especially when white people call government to acountability, we are refered to racists or activists?
The era where-under you could get away with blaming 'apartheid' for all your inabilities has reached its end. You will answer to the people cause we elected you and we pay your enormous salaries. I will no longer say sorry for an idea that was never the brainchild of the Afrikaans speaking white population of this country. Neither the political incorrect "K" word, nor the idiology of 'apartheid' should be blamed on the previous government, but rather upon the British that sucked our country dry before they uped and went. That is the only truth and no matter what history has to say... only the truth shall really set you free.

Time has come for the ANC to make the changes they promised. Your poor constituants are waiting eagerly.
Zuma you said today that communication channels will be kept open between government and the voters. Moreover, all civil servants will be held accountable for the positions they have been elected for. Don't disappoint us by not keeping your word on this.

Congrats to Victor Matfield and the Blue Bulls on their fantastic win. We hold thumbs that you build upon this victory next week. The Springboks within your team surely made a difference.

The GOLDEN FEATHER today goes to Mornè Steyn for his excellent kicking score yesterday.
The OSTRICH FEATHER must go to The Bundu Oil & Gas Prospecting Company for all the damage they are doing to the Karoo while trying to enrich themselves. Come on you oil-sniffing dawgs ... clean up and humba!!!!

Another 'Legotla' ... another excuse to spend unneccessary

Whilst the economy in South Africa leaves much to be desired, yet another 'Lekgotla' is planned for next month. This term 'Lekgotla'... what does it mean realy? In my view it is just a cheap excuse to party and waste elaborately.
We have forums already established within the Republic (Parlement; Union Buildings; Provincial Parliaments; Municipal Offices etc.) that can be used as vehicles to address any issue that may arise. Why does government need to take ministers out of this environment, drive them to a secret venue in the bush in order to discuss policy.

Top news stories in South Africa currently touches on the disturbing situation of thousands of job losses. Not only is the textile industry in the gravest danger, but also bad reports concerning our mining- and vehicle industries. It seems inevitable that the poor will get poorer and the fat cats will still dine on the cream.
Yet Zuma has to call upon 'mature adult' ministers to conduct their business in a manner fitting to their office.
Why is it still neccessary for the President to address even the slightest possiblity that the ministers might be 'naughty' and not stick to the explicit rules of their office?

Leave the bloody Legotlas, stop the bickering and start providing the jobs and the care South Africans need. By saving on unneccassary expenses, government can contribute to the well-being of all its people.

Zuma the people have spoken: You lead, we follow, you promise, we wait in anticipation.
