WHEN WILL THE “ZUMA” BOMB GO OFF? August 10, 2008

A bit of history first for my foreign readers.
Jacob Zuma was South Africa’s Deputy President until he was asked to step down when charges of corruption was levied against him.
For a number of years now he has been in and out of court trying to defend/stop proceedings against him. He has huge support from the ANC Youth League (ANCYL) and Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans’ Association (MKMVA).
When one watches the news coverage of Mr Zuma when he comes out of the court house and addresses his followers, one can see that he does nothing to discourage their mass action threats, in fact he seems to encourage it.
Words like: “We will kill for Zuma” and “No Zuma, no country” are chilling to hear. Who are they going to kill? Are they going to go on a rampage and kill indiscriminately or have they specific targets in mind in the ANC or the legal fraternity that they will kill?
The MKMVA made it clear that a legal defeat for ANC president Jacob Zuma “will not be tolerated”.
“We want to make this message very clear. We are not going to allow this country - or any other country - to destroy the ANC or its leader, comrade Jacob Zuma. We are going to make sure that Zuma becomes the next president of this country, no matter what. No Zuma, no country,” the organisation’s deputy national secretary, Ramatuku Maphutha, told Independent Newspapers on Sunday.
Mr Zuma is now the ANC President and will be their candidate for the next general elections to be held in 2009.
If the court case is held before the elections and he is found guilty, what will happen?
If he is elected as our next President and he is found guilty thereafter, what will happen?
I have spoken in depth about the “African mindset” in previous posts, and the world has seen what happened in Zimbabwe recently when their veterans took matters into their own hands. Life is cheap in Africa, they do not care how many innocent lives are taken!
The above-mentioned two South African groups have no regard for the justice system or for our Constitution and if they carry out their threats and start filling the minds of their followers with “killing” we will see mass anarchy that will be a thousand times worse than the recent Xenophobic attacks. I believe that it will mainly be black on black violence as the various factions fight each other, but many innocent people can die if they are caught up in the middle of it.
Mr Jacob Zuma can stop this, but will he?
