Our glorious movement is making huge tactical blunders. One cannot understand the reasoning behind refusing the Delai Lama a visa to attend Bishop Tutu's lecture on the occasion of his birthday.
The usual and predictable has happened. Our comrades and activists have come out guns blazing,attacking the hapless Arch. What some of us are witnessing is that our leadership is panicking, thus making such blunders. The President has taken unnecessarily taken too much time in addressing the police lease issue. How much more time does he need?

JAY NAIDOO SPITS FIRE
Jay Naidoo, former Minister of RDP and former general secretary of COSATU, was interviewed on Talk Radio 702 by John Robbie this morning. The man is spitting fire. The firebrand is spoiling for a fight. He represents thousands of comrades who feel the direction that the revolution is taking is not what countless cadres laid their lives for.
The number of comrades who are under investigation from the police is overwhelming to say the least. We seem to have underestimated the aroma of power from the erstwhile comrades north of our borders. When you raise ideological issues with comrades, you risk being labelled a counter-revolutionary. So comrades choose the easy option and keep quite.
What we have are useful idiots who have become nothing but praise singers and chanters of slogans. These are idiots who have not drank from the well of Chris Hani, Vuyisile Mini and countless cadres who have since departed from this world. Those who remain,particularly in the NEC have shamefully become church mice, not because they are poor, but morally they are. They have kept quite when the leaders of the movement have been publicly insulted by the younger members of the movement.
What some of need is the voice that can reconnect us with the movement that we dearly love.

ANC faces its red-letter day
The upcoming local government election present the African National Congress with its toughest challenged since it took power in 1994. The masses out there are restless. The number of independent candidates has dramatically incresed since the 2006 elections. This really points to one thing: the masses are tired and restless. That we now witness some of our comrades visiting villages and townships has actually angered a big number of communities and activists.
It looks like the struggle of the stomach has overtaken that of serving the masses of our people.Vavi might have been joking, but the possibility of the DA causing an upset in a number of municipalities is real. The time for empty promises is long gone. The ANC is now faced with a public that is discerning and politically matured.
