Events in the US are following recent SA history to a degree that is uncanny. Three years ago we had a president who did not want to lose office lest he go to prison. He was prepared to bring down our constitutional order to get his way. Today the US president believes his enemies will jail him if he relinquishes power. And so he plans not to go.
There is still much we do not know about Jacob Zuma’s last year as president. But some things we do. It is certain, for instance, that he mulled the idea of suspending indefinitely the ANC’s elective conference at Nasrec in December 2017, thus leaving him as party leader in perpetuity. In the end he doubted he could pull it off. And in any case he calculated that his candidate, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, would win on the conference floor.

The inaugural Aggrey Klaaste Annual Colloquium set for Black WednesdayThought leaders in the media industry will meet next month to reflect on the sector’s journey and its role in strengthening the country’s democracy. Hopefully the thought leaders will also reflect on the state of decay in how journalists report political issues . It is shameful to say the least, how those who are supposed to be impartial in news reporting have developed a culture of biasness some political factions.🙄🙄🙄 Hope this will not be another talk shop because until we address the issue of ownership, media freedom will remain a bone of contention. Journalists need to please media owners and advertisers who are mostly white. Or else, there’ll be trouble. Legend Ntate Joe Thloloe
