Mahumapelo: “We want Zuma to finish his term as president”

BY KEDIBONE MOLAETSI
RUSTENBURG- North West premier, Supra Mahumapelo said they will continue to show unwavering support to hag-ridden president, Jacob Zuma.

Mahumapelo said they met on Friday as Provincial Executive Committee over the matter.

According to ConCourt which is the highest court in the land in South Africa, South African president Jacob Zuma violated the constitution after failing to deal with Nkandla matter decisively.

Public Protector, Thuli Madonsela found that the president and his family benefited unduly over Nkandla security upgrade during her investigations.

The matter was taken to court by Economic Freedom Fighters and Democratic Alliance after Zuma refused to be held responsible. He also mentioned that he will not pay even a cent as he knew nothing about non-security upgrade features at his private residential area.

Mahumapelo addressed the community  of Marikana following unrest in the area on Sunday.

“We want to warn people who want to use the outcome of the ConCourt judgement to call for removal of the president. We are going to rise against them.

“At no stage has the ConCourt said the president has seriously violated section 88 of the constitution. Those who want to impeach the president, they can do so. It is their democratic right,” he said.

Mahumapelo said however the opposition parties do not have necessary majority.

He said they will throttle them and they will forever use their majority.

“We unambiguously support and welcome the president’s apology. As the Provincial Executive Committe, we met on Friday and support the president.

“We want Jacob Zuma to finish his term as the president of ANC and also of the Republic. The president asked for forgiveness and we forgive him,” he said.

Mahumapelo further added that people expected them as blacks and Africans to forgive even those who wronged them during apartheid.

“We forgave and reconciled with our oppressor. We forgave them, but the same people are surprised when we forgive our president.

“We also urge ANC stalwarts to come forward and teach us the way of doing things within the party. However if they speak while outside the structure of ANC, it is going to be very difficult to refer to them whether as stalwarts or not,” Mahumapelo said.

BY REGINALD KANYANE
ANC provincial chairperson and the premier of North West, Supra Mahumapelo visited Marikana to calm situation between two political parties.

Both African National Congress members and Economic Freedom Fighters were canvassing in the area when a fight erupt between them.

The roads leading to Marikana were barricaded with stones and burning tyres.  One person was shot and another one was stabbed.

A car was also torched during the stand-off.

Mahumapelo said they will open a case of intimidation against EFF.

“We will open a case of intimidation against EFF. No one is allowed to intimidate any political party while campaigning.

“So EFF members intimidated and attacked our members who were canvassing for the party,” he said.

However EFF representative in Marikana, Matshidiso Rapholo refuted that and said ANC members were the ones who used violence against their members.

“ANC members are the ones who use violence against our members. Last week our two members were attacked by ANC supporters.

“They were from the shops when two ANC members stopped their car and open fire. They were forced to take cover,” she said.

BOBBY: WE’LL COME BACK WITH A FRESH APPROACH


Bobby Motaung

KAIZER CHIEFS manager, Bobby Motaung, said the three-and-a-half weeks they have endured without playing will come handy as the club seek redemption after going five matches without a win.

Amakhosi last kicked a ball on 20 March when they were knocked out of the Caf Champions League by Asec Mimosas.

Their next league game is only on 12 April against Mpumalanga Black Aces at the Mbombela Stadium, in Nelspruit.

The struggling Amakhosi had turned into a laughing stock before the Fifa calendar break.

IT TAKES A REAL MAN TO APOLOGISE – ZUMA SUPPORTERS


ANC Supporters

It takes a real man to stand up in front of the nation and apologise, ANC supporters said on Sunday, putting their full support behind President Jacob Zuma.

More than 15 000 people gathered at the Melmoth sports grounds in KwaZulu-Natal to hear Zuma address them at an imbizo on the drought.

While opposition parties and some prominent South Africans have called for Zuma to resign after a monumental Constitutional Court judgment found that he and Parliament had violated the Constitution, thousands in KwaZulu-Natal expressed their love for Zuma, singing “We love Msholozi”.

Zuma addressed the nation on Friday apologising for how the Nkandla matter was handled.

‘AYANDA DOESN’T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS’


Ayanda Sehlogole

ACTRESS Charity Sehlohole’s “secret” daughter unveiled herself last month.

Ayanda Sehlohole shocked everyone when she proudly disclosed she’s the daughter of the Mzansi actress who now lives in the United Kingdom.

The secret was revealed when Ayanda took to social media to wish her mum a happy birthday.

The gorgeous Ayanda seems to be following in her mum’s footsteps.

She’s venturing into the entertainment industry as a singer in London.

On Charity’s birthday last month, Ayanda posted a sweet message on social media to wish her mum a happy birthday.

A source close to Ayanda said she doesn’t care what people think of her mum as she gave birth to her after all.

“We were all shocked when we found out Charity is her mum, but she’s cool about it and has nothing to hide.

“It’s strange though that Charity hardly ever mentioned her daughter during her prime, but we guess whatever reasons she had for hiding her daughter from the public made sense to her,” the source told Sunday Sun.

Ayanda is believed to have been raised by her dad’s side of her family, but was never kept away from her mum and her family.

Another source said all Charity wanted was privacy and it worked for her.

“Sometimes revealing all about your private life can be stressful as some people can use even your family to destroy you,” said the source.

When the SunTeam called Ayanda to ask why she was kept under wraps for all these years, she said: “I don’t know, but my mum is eligible to give details.”

Charity could not be reached for comment.
