Shilowa's convention cost R5m for 6300 people
November 3, 2008 by evl
That's quite a lot for a convention of only 6300 people. What did they all get free pigs to eat? Anyway, I dont think the ANC will share the tax payers money with them, no they waste that on other junk like flying the fatties overseas for the fun of it.
Lekota says he wont be stopped
October 26, 2008 by evl
Lekota said that they wont be intimidated in Bloemfontein next week. After last week when they held a meeting and it was disrupted by the ANC they are still standing and sticking by their story. Whether or not there will come more attacks from the ANC is not even a question, we all know when election time comes they march and sing for their promised houses, free popcorn and movies.
He also said the ANC has ran out of answer
Here is a piece from News24:
He also accused senior ANC leaders such as Jeff Radebe of trying to use "bullying" tactics against him instead of answering his questions.
"They have run out of answers, they try to intimidate me and threaten (with expulsion). Do not intimidate me, answer me," Lekota said.
Other national and provincial convention organisers such as Willy Madisha and Charlotte Lobe also criticised ANC Women's League president Angie Motshekga?s recent "dogs" statements.
Motshekga in referring to dissidents led by Terror Lekota and Mluleki George said: "Now that the dogs are leaving, there will be peace and we will be stronger. The dogs arrived in the ANC and they have left."
Madisha said those coming to the national convention should come with "respect".
New party challenging the ANC launching on 16 December
October 20, 2008 by evl
I just read that the party might start 16 December. According to what Mosiuoa Lekota said at the rally or convention According to news24Lekota said the formation would then have to go back to the communities for a name and colours and (possibly) report back on December 16 - Reconcilation Day - for the launch of that party.Now that is interesting, will they have enough time to make a impact if they only start their party on the 16 December. I think that might be a bit late for such a party to have a big part in the 2009 General elections.
