When history is written, Motlanthe will be remembered as the man who put his signature to legislation that dismantled entire institutions for political gain.— Jeff Mpondozenyathi, Midrand in The Times
PRESIDENT Kgalema Motlanthe has disappointed those of us who thought his appointment was going to restore much needed credibility and substance to the office of the presidency. — Jeff Mpondozenyathi, Midrand
Motlanthe’s decision to fire Vusumzi Pikoli should be seen for the evil-intentioned and transparently political decision it is.
The findings of the inquiry [headed by former speaker of parliament Frene Ginwala] expose the case against Pikoli as an ill-conceived conspiracy to get rid of a dedicated and patriotic South African, whose allegiance is to the constitution of the republic.
Pikoli is perhaps the closest thing we have to a leader who understands the meaning of constitutional superiority and public trust, something Motlanthe and the ANC seem to take for granted because it hampers their political ambitions.
As a long-standing ANC voter, I am disgusted and cannot associate myself with these people anymore.
