A person is a reflection of their culture, of what they believe and how they live their lives. A bridge between the past and the future, between time and space and needs to try to keep them in harmony, less they become unbalanced. Not to be aware of the past and give it due consideration in the building of the future can distort the future. Neither is it wise to sacrifice your future because you choose to live in or as if you are in the past. One World One Human Race One Destiny (OWOHROD)

JUST A THOUGHT - ON THE AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS' DILEMMA AND JACOB ZUMA'S DOOM! PART 3.
But what of the African National Congress? If ~Jacob Zuma, whom the ANC has chosen to lead the country is not fit to rule, not fit for purpose.
The purpose of uniting South Africans, all South Africans, to build the 'Rainbow Nation.'
Then, how much fitter is the ANC to continue to be the ruling Party?
Is it just a matter of leader malfunctioning, or is it also a matter of Party dysfunctioning?
Is the ANC, which fought for and help to liberate South Africa from the clutches of the vile Apartheid Regime, also the Party which is capable of building the 'new South Africa'?
Can the ANC really be fit for purpose without 'reforming itself and re-equipping itself' for that challenge ahead?
It is extremely difficult for the ANC to convince either its members, it detractors and those who are indifferent to it.
That is a political party which is best equipped and fit to take South Africa and the people of South Africa to, as it were, 'the promised land of Rainbowotopia.'
How can it do so, when it is seen as largely, if not predominantly or nearly exclusively an organisation for black South Africans?
When the alliance between it and South Africans of Asian and European background, was more of a political and strategic alliance forged amongst people who were politically active.
And committed to struggling for the liberation of their people from an unjust and oppressive Apartheid Regime.
A Regime which happened to have been a white one, working and governing for and on behalf of white South Africans.
What percentage of black South Africans, especially those who are disenchanted with their status in country. Are not still seeing South Africa's problems in terms of an unfair division of land and wealth between the different ethnic communities?
And are not seeing the solution to the problem as one of divesting the white South Africans from all or much of the land and their wealth, and distributing it to the black African and Asian South Africans?
Which it clearly is not, as the sustainability of a nation requires it to continue to work at creating new wealth.
To be continued!
