South Africa's youth protested against persistent poverty

Johannesburg - Hundreds of young demonstrators have protested in
Johannesburg against the 17 years after the end of apartheid,
especially in blacks still existing poverty and unemployment. The
initiator was accompanied by loud music and singing action on Thursday
Julius Malema, a young ANC leader, who is the senior party leaders on
the economic policies of the land in dispute. Malema no intention of
asking the government for, among other things, the creation of jobs,
housing, help the poor and the nationalization of the mines. Malema is
also planning a march on the seat of government in Pretoria, there to
give more emphasis to the demands.

People who live in glass houses

Last week, we still have looked to South Africa where the head of the
ANC Youth League, Julius Malema, mainly because of hate speeches and
party-damaging behavior, sacked and barred for five years by the
ruling party was. Now here in Namibia should be a similar example as
couched, as youth minister Kazenambo Kazenambo this week is so freaked
out that no other consequence of the question.

The Minister has raged since a "secret" classified Cabinet paper on
the media and thus the public has come. The document dealt with the
cost of the trip to Germany a Namibian delegation to the repatriation
of 20 skulls of Herero and Nama of good N $ 1.7 million, although this
was only a planned budget of one million (AZ) reported. Against the
journalist who has made the total for the first time publicly, the
blind fury was now directed to the Minister which erupted quickly into
hatred. How else is the choice of words "damn Bure," "thief," "white
Koevoet journalist," "perverse," "sick," "colonialist," "white
arrogance" and "barbaric" - to name a few insults - to explain ? But
not enough Kazenambo was also of sedition and incitement to breach of
the constitution and criminal acts to when he announced: "We will take
away the farm" or "leave aside the Constitution."

With his hate speech, the youth minister has gone too far. Once
again. Because we do not have good memories of what happened a year
ago, as Kazenambo abused the immigration official at the Munich
airport, wanted to verify this as a warning regarding a fake passport.
Insult to reason enough for the minister, the officials as "rude and
arrogant" and "Nazis" and "supporters of Adolf Hitler." Three hours
spent by the loudmouth therefore in police custody, he was allowed to
continue his journey. Then the German Embassy in Windhoek has tried
like to avoid "diplomatic crop damage." A clear statement from Berlin
would have been certainly effective, but the fit (s) not into the
concept of political correctness and self-mortification of the Federal
Republic.

These two examples show: Close the way, as Minister Kazenambo loses
his temper, as he other people sometimes quickly impresses the racists
stamp and how he proposes to other serious allegations below the belt,
does the fact that he himself is a racist . But he projected his own
views on other people - such a behavior pattern is known.

Is a kind of modesty or even an apology can not expect from such
deluded choleric, therefore, appropriate appeals have no purpose.
Anyway he has overstepped the mark and will now be brought to heel.
For those racists is no room here!

The "Tea Girl" becomes the boss

The largest opposition party in South Africa has a new minority
leader: Lindiwe Mazibuko. Black on the outside and inside of Martina

Hostility because their English is "white" sounds like: The new
opposition leader Lindiwe Mazibuko.


JOHANNESBURG - coconut it was already known or tea girl. Recently
rejected ANC youth league chief Julius Malema a televised debate with
Lindiwe Mazibuko: He does not speak with the "Tea Girl" white "madam".
With "madam" said the exponent of the radical wing of South Africa's
ruling party African National Congress Helen Zille, the white leader
of the largest opposition party Democratic Alliance (DA).

Now the "Tea Girl" to become boss. The 31-year-old Mazibuko was
posted on Thursday faction leader of the DA in the South African
Parliament, and thus the most prominent challenger to the ANC. The
31-year-old Black ran from her 47-year-old white predecessor, Athol
Trollip a crucial vote in the rank.

The DA, South Africa's emerging opposition force wants to attract
more black voters. The energetic Mazibuko wants not only on the Cape,
where the party already ruled, gain more support, but to get the
younger generation of South Africa's total on board. A plus for the
party, which emerged from the white liberal opposition to the
apartheid regime, in the last elections in 2009 rose significantly to
almost 17 percent, but for many voters the ANC is always to remember.

Party leader Helen Zille and Cape Town mayor Patricia de Lille DA of
the Coloured minority of black politician had promised before the
election their support.

Mazibuko, who was born in 1980 and fourth-youngest member of the
South African Parliament, sees her young age as an advantage, because
South Africa is a young nation. She studied in Cape Town, wrote her
dissertation on the DA won her seat in the province of KwaZulu /
Natal. Her English sounds "white".

She was a coconut, black on the outside and white inside, blaspheming
skeptics, but she wipes off the table. "It's not about me, it's about
the vision of the party," she says. "I think we need to make bold
steps to grow. Now is the best moment." Mazibuko, the provisions of
their party, embodies exactly what South Africa's opposition to the
powerful ANC is missing: fresh approaches and new energy. And
self-confidence.
