ANC does it AGAIN....



protestors: Same police-different faces



The number one leading party has done it yet again resolving problems the only way they know how, with VIOLENCE.



The Marikana Massacre has seen more than 40 people killed and 78 were injured due to the fact that mine workers had a strike, wanting an increase in their monthly salaries which makes sense. What man can live on a R4000 a month with a family of 6?



Marikana Massacre



It is stated that the ANC issued a statement commending the SAPS for deploying 3000 ''heavily armed police'' in Marikana. What government in its right mind would send more than 100 policemen to stop a stike that consists of less then 300 men? There must be something seriously wrong with the mental status of this government that we consistently praise.

In a recent article in the City Press, it is said that Julius Malema had stated infront of Lonmin miners that President of the ANC, Jacob Zuma, presided over the killing of our people and therefore he must step down. I guess we all have to wonder what hand our president had in all this insanity?

SAPS in Marikana



Women and children, fathers and mothers are all crying over their loved ones but what is our ruling party doing?? Congratulating SAPS for a job well-done.?? Is that what our government has turned into? What happened to ANC for the People? 



Madonsela Fires Back....



Last weeks blog was about how Thuli Madonsela was put on the spot by the ruling party the ANC. We recieved comments stating that Madonsela did absolutely nothing wrong and that the ANC was being unreasonable.

 

public protector: Thulisile Madonsela
speaks out



After the criticism made by the ANC Madonsela fired back. She attended an audit conference in Johannesburg and told them that her presene at the Womens Day organised by the DA was "part of her mandate and was aimed at gaining and maintaining confidence from concerned parties http://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/madonsela-unfazed-by-criticism. She also stated that one should not adapt to one operation because a stakeholder or a group of people want things done their way. 



President Jacob Zuma,
 DA leader Hellen Zille and
ANC general secretary Gwede Mantashe

 Is this the case though, that ANC would rather see things their way rather than looking at the need of the country.What does this say about the way in which the ANC runs the country, how is unity up held in this way? Will these powerful parties (the DA and the ANC) ever work or agree on anything?





Instead of parties working together to uplift and uphold the dignity and respect that we already have as a country they always try by all means to destroy one another. Hows that for a country instead of developing South Africa we are politically diminishing it. 



Burning our own nation







ANC slams Madonsela-''Whats new"

Thulisile Madonsela,South Africas Public Protector

Thulisile Madonsela, our very own Public Protector who is also a Human Rights lawyer and equality expert. Thulisile Madonsela has clearly made her mark in South Africa and is not known as being biased, doesnt take sides whether the outcome is good or bad.

This prestigeous woman is now being accused by the ANC saying that:''for her not to attend an ANC rally in Pretoria and attend the DA Womens Network in Port Elizabeth was ill-considerate as it opens up her office to perception of political bias,BUT what i understand about Madonsela is that she is obliged to fulfil her constitutional obligation of being accessible to all persons and communities including the DA.

The ANC can complain all they want as it is said by the DA Women Alliance,Celeste Barker that Madonselas' speech was not politically related at all but instead her topic was about "how one can redress the feminisation of poverty, unemployment and gender violence using constitutional mechanisms.

Yes, Thulisile Madonsela has a responsibility towards the ANC but as a Publi Protector she has the right to empower and educate those aound her. It is also part of the Public Protectors responsibilities to be independent, impartial and exercise her right without fear,favour or even prejudice.

Is this a political vendetta 

The real question here is:Was Madonsela really in the wrong by not attending the ANC rally but instead to attend a DA Womens Network to uplift woman. Is the REAL issue here that she attended a DA event instead of ANC??hmmm makes one think.

I Am Woman




This is the perfect introduction to a perfect month for women all over the continent. Woman who are proud to say I AM WOMAN..



Womans Month is happening throughout the month of August and here in South Africa we are celebrating it with no limits. South Africa celebrates this years Womans month which calls upon african leaders to advance womens participation in politics and empowering them economically. womens news





www.phuthu.co.za

International Womans Day/Month recognisers and applauds womens achievement and also observing and highlighting gender inequalities,which ofcourse that is one of the major problmes women are dealing with especially in the work place. But....

What good is International Womens Day?

A hundred years of celebration, and as far as i can see women still get pathetic deals, eventhough they are admirable, articulate and keep the world together.Yes we all know, August is womens month and womens day would obciously take place in the month of march but honestly i wouldnt have noticed if someone  hadnt told me. A hundred and one years of celebration and women still get the broken end of the stick..

We love and respect International Womens day and yes its great that we commemorate womans day and month but does this mean for the rest of the 364 days or 11 months that we do not celebrate them we should turn them into victims; victims of abuse,rape, murder....What freedom is there if women are not free. What is the significance of it all if women are still going to be suppressed, given raw and unimaginable deals. If we cannot deal with such issues that concern women throughout the year how will we achieve these issues in a month?
