Now they are going to disband the scorpions?

I retract my previous comment about our president. I was duped just as he was trying to fool the rest of this country making us believe he was asking what to do with the scorpions to cover his back. Where the ANC have already decided on their fate.
What you say is true but you have to convince an awful lot of people of this before it could possibly have any effect on the ANC. The problem here, as I see it, is that the majority of the ruling party is far too great. It is so great in fact that there is no opposition to it in any form. The so-called opposition parties might as well be speaking to brick walls. Even if these guys could somehow all join together they would still not be able to influence the ANC. Again, my humble opinion, the Helen Zillers, the Buthelezis and the like are all just wasting their time. The only change that could come South Africa's way (politically speaking) is if the alliance between the ANC, Cosatu and the SACP were to break down. Then, and only then, can there be any talk of real political opposition in this country. I know it sounds terrible, but that is the situation as I see it.
