Opinion: Ramaphosa is ensuring the slow death of the ANC

After days of speculation, SABC News has reliably learnt that the African National Congress (ANC) and the Democratic Alliance (DA) have finally reached a deal to form a Government of National Unity (GNU) together with the Patriotic Alliance (PA) and the Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) (SABC News, 14.06.2024).

Today’s so-called coalition called “Government of National Unity” is formed in South Africa. It is the main parties of the ANC and the DA. When the ANC decides to work with and being allies with the DA. It is signing of it’s history and it’s remaining principles on the altar of power.

The ANC needed allies and get enough mandate to be able to govern. The ANC alone wouldn’t be sufficient and would be a minority government who would need support and votes from others to be able to govern in the National Assembly. Now the ANC has chosen the “easy” way out and making a majority coalition with DA.

The PA and IFP is just to broaden the spectrum, but these parties will be mere supporting agents in regard to the ANC/DA. They are just there to make it seem like a broader government than it is. The DA will bully and play around with the ANC. The IFP and PA should disregard it and just quit. They are used as tools and will be regretting even taking part in it.

The ANC will be the loser here, as the legacy of the party and the will of the ANC has been lost. It sold out and will be even weaker in the next up-coming election. For now it is still a governing party, but only on the mercy of the DA. That’s not a good look for Ramaphosa.

Cyril Ramaphosa might be a President for another term. He gets to stay in office and be blessed with the perks of his office. However, his party and the ANC will be dethroned and be bestowed with a slow destruction. The DA will eat the party from the inside and make a mockery out of it. They can use the spite and use their leverage to counter-act the ANC.

That’s why the ANC will loose here. The IFP and PA is lucky just to have a Minister and be part of the Big-Boy’s in the Administration. They are lucky buffoons who also shielded the DA and their usage of seats in the National Assembly.

It is just amazing how damaging this will be… as it will be a silent storm and there will no helpers to save them. The ANC is now selling out completely and they will regret it. The DA will win on this and be seen as “wise”. They have gotten everything for cheap and the ANC had to accept, because it still wanted to rule.

This is a mode of self-destruction and the ANC will be in harms way. They will make it much worse and have to dance to the tune of DA to able to govern. Especially, when the deal says they have to have consensus before pushing through things. Meaning the ANC cannot do anything without acceptance of the DA. That’s securing mechanisms, which isn’t a measures on the size of the party, but of who has the final say. Therefore, the ANC is now in the mercy of the DA.

The IFP and PA will be useful “broad-based” parties to incite more popularity. However, they should know the ANC and DA is only having them to look nice on the paper.

This here is a bad look… and the ANC should have known better. Peace.

Opinion: Besigye won’t be on the 2026 ticket

The Katonga fraction of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) are now mobilizing members and trying to figure out the future of the group. That’s for anyone who follows and is inspired by the leadership of Dr. Kizza Besigye. The resilient and hardworking politician, which has been in legal jeopardy through out his political career. No one has more charges and cases against him, but no sentencing or such. Therefore, his a force to be reckon with and be inspired by.

Besigye in 2024 isn’t as big as he was in the past. Neither is he irrelevant or a relic of the past. No, his still resounding his words and getting headlines. As he battles old pending “criminal” cases and being on the road as a political figure. His working tirelessly for the cause and for the peaceful liberation of the nation. Regardless, that if he will see it himself or it will be for the next generation.

We saw that he didn’t stand for Presidency or be the Flag-bearer of the FDC Party in 2021. The last time he was a Presidential Candidate was in 2016 and after that he made the proxy government, the People’s Government for the 2016-2021 term. As a way of showing defiance and working outside the mechanisms of the state. Since he saw the election as illegitimate and knew the results was in his favour.

Alas, for a man that has run as Presidential Candidate for term after term. A man who stood tall after coming back from exile. While being taken into custody, charged with treason and other penal codes to stifle his movement. The usage of Public Order Management Act to stop his gatherings and mobilization. In such a manner, that he couldn’t public will or be able to spread the message fast enough. As the blockade of radio shows and others didn’t make it possible for everyone to hear what he had to say.

A man who has been house-arrested for days upon days, months upon months and pre-emptively arrested before leaving his home or even trying to convene his political party. They even stopped him from attending national prayers and bringing the faith together after the elections. That’s what has happened to Besigye.

This is why Besigye matters still… not because his willing to stand as Flag-Bearer or being the man on the ticket. No, he won’t be on the ballot in 2026. Deep inside he knows its futile and won’t serve him any good. Neither will it serve his cause or what he works for. It is only spending time within the framework and the system that the overlords has created. He will play onto the instruments of the state and give them legitimacy. That’s why it has no value to be part of the next general election.

Besigye knows all of it and saw how it ended in 2016. As an outsider looking in 2021. He surely knows things won’t be better in 2021. He has seen it all since 2001. Been part of 2006, 2011 and 2016. Besigye has tried and failed, but he was the victor in many people’s eyes. People had faith in him and his cause years ago. The streets was buzzing and was ready for him…

While the system was rigged against him and the guns saluted only Museveni. That’s why he never got a chance and was blocked from entering the high offices. This is why he had to go back to the drawing board and return to the streets. There was nothing else for Besigye. Neither would anyone else offer him a hand or give him the power to overcome this obstacle.

No, he had no support or outreach to get there. Neither was the population or citizens tired enough of the regime. They are still silently adapting and allowing it to interfere in their lives. The citizens are allowing the laws to be taken for granted and used against their leaders. That’s what the state does… and they still remain silent.

That silence is the reason why Besigye never received the crown. That’s why he wasn’t sworn-in and became the Head of State. It was all… because of the reluctant people who wouldn’t challenge the High Above head-on and not give way, which it did.

This is why Besigye won’t be on the ticket or be the flag-bearer…. And why should he? There is nothing to gain or collect. He won’t get what he deserves and now there is a new leader in town that’s taking up the mantle. Therefore, he can take the blunt force and get the humiliating treatment, which Besigye got in the past. That’s what Bobi Wine has to go through. He has to fight and continue to be a burden for the state. As long as he campaigns and works for the People Power Movement and the NUP.

Besigye isn’t sidelined, but decided to be an inspiration. Be a one of honour and a man of wisdom. That’s who he is right now. He is a man people should listen to and try to understand. As he has fought and stood on the barricades. Getting violently treated and been in the trenches. No one should insult his career or what he stood for.

Besigye did fight. It isn’t important for him to become the President. It is more important to ensure proper liberty and freedom. Something the regime isn’t serving the population. It is only giving partial of everything and taking everything else for themselves. Peace.

Rwanda: Kagame’s 98% is loading and the polls are pre-cooked…

The candidates are incumbent President Paul Kagame of RPF-Inkotanyi, Frank Habineza of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda and Phillipe Mpayimana, who is an independent. The electoral commission will announce the final list of approved candidates on June 14. Voting for president and members of parliament is slated for July 14-16. The six hopefuls who did not meet the requirements are Herman Manirareba, Innocent Hakizimana, Fred Sekikubo Barafinda, Thomas Habimana, Diane Rwigara and Jean Mbanda. According to the electoral laws, the aspirants have at least five days to fulfill the requirements on which they fell short before the final list of candidates is announced” (Moise M. Bahati – ‘Elections: What six presidential hopefuls missed to make it to provisional list’ 06.06.2024, The New Times).

The July 2024 elections are ready made for the RPF-Inkotanyi incumbent Presidential Candidate Paul Kagame. The ones that are honourably on the list is now announced and will be held a ceremony for. No shockers and no surprises. Just people that the President and the RPF trusts.

That’s why Kagame already won the primary elections within the ruling party with 99% of the votes and in last Presidential Elections he got 98,63% of the votes. With the acknowledgement of the honourable mentions on the ballots. The same sort of result is scheduled to happen.

The ones believing “Pilato” would leave anything to chance is foolish. The RPF-Inkotanyi isn’t playing around. Everything is secured, assessed and done deliberately to anoint their master. Paul Kagame is prepared and it’s all just procedure. The elections are done as a front and only for publicity. It isn’t done because of the will of the people or the trust of the people. They are just puppets in the game of their master, as they are serving his interests and are bound by his words.

President Kagame wouldn’t want to be properly challenged. Neither does he wants any real opposition. His a guy that get rid of his opponents. The voices of dissent and activists, anyone who dares to question him or mock him. They are getting rid of and if not trying to get to safety in exile. You cannot even make political cartoons without being in danger in Republic. Nothing is holy, except for the demi-god named Paul Kagame.

He is an immortal and extraordinary person that is the natural delivery of patriotism, nationalism and what is correct for the nation. His the Supreme Leader and the Guide of the Nation. The voice of reason and the man of brilliant policies. No one is like Kagame and that’s why no one else can take his place.

This is why there is only useful idiots who are on the ballot with Kagame. People who the President and his party knows will dance to his tune. They are political mercenaries and useless characters who just accepts the pity. These are just running to have others on the list, but anyone know they will not go anywhere.

Kagame will get 98% or close to 99% of the votes. That is what is bound to happen and we can all see this happening yet again. The 2017 is and everything beyond will be like this. Especially as long as the iron fist of Kagame rules Kigali. He won’t accept anything else and that’s his “democracy”. Peace.

Opinion: Basalirwa is the Grandmaster of Useless Noise…

Three months after the birth of the Holy Alliance, the chairperson of the new establishment and president of JEEMA, Asuman Basaalirwa says they are working behind the scenes and soon, their activities will be made known” (NBS Television, 05.06.2024).

The Bugiri Municipality, the Justice Forum (JEEMA) and the People Power Movement must wonder if they were tricked or used, because the Human Rights Lawyer and MP Flagbearer at the time, Asuman Basalirwa sounded like a reasonable guy. At one point he seemed like a decent fella and someone who deserved a shot. However, in June of 2024 we can say everyone was wrong…

Basalirwa MP was a wasted vote and seems like a useless MP. Yes, he got the Anti-Homosexuality Act enacted. That’s his achievement in the 11th Parliament. The rest of the time he has betrayed the opposition and the People Power Movement. He could have resigned from the Opposition and just turned into a puppet for the National Resistance Movement (NRM).

If Basalirwa MP is running as a NRM flag-bearer in 2026. No one would bat an eye and be shocked. He has worked for more the causes and policies of the state. The idea of him being in opposition is foolish at this point. His only opposition in the name, but not in spirit or in action.

He is openly engaging in disputes and taking part for others in the Parliament. Saying he is offered being the lawyer of two other MPs and will sue the ones who petitioning the August House to censure the Parliament Commissioners. That’s what his doing of late and it shows how little tact or even humility he has.

There is no gravitas or even courtesy in regards to this MP. Basalirwa is unadulterated and lack of quorum. His just a brute and it isn’t cute. He can use religion as a shield, but that doesn’t save him from his sins. Neither does his greed or his naked ambition. A man who cannot be loyal or even stand by the people who helped him back to Parliament. Basalirwa MP has ditched and works against the people who entrusted him. That’s the favour he gives them and he does it deliberately too.

Basalirwa MP has become useless. I don’t know where the value for his seat or office. As a person, individual or even representative his just wasted airtime. He shouldn’t be there and isn’t worthy of representing others. Especially, when it becomes personal and becomes a cash-grab. The MP should just give way and let other represent the constituency. There must be a more credible, honourable or even honest character than him. His a career politician and seemingly a man who seeks validation and possible new revenue streams. Therefore, he isn’t great or deliver any grandeur.

That’s why it’s time to call out the jokes, the mockery and the insincerity of him. Basalirwa MP needs to booted out and Bugiri Muncipality has a short of doing so in 2026. That’s when they should vote for someone else and hope he/she serves them better. Not that they need to do much, because Basalirwa has set the standard so low. Peace.

Zimbabwe: Tshabangu is the Mwonzora 2.0…

Newly appointed leader of opposition (CCC), Hon Sengezo Tshabangu stresses a point while participants key in during Plenary” (Parliament of Zimbabwe, 03.06.2024).

In Harare the heist is over, the coup of the National Assembly and the two chambers of Parliament is over. The ZANU-PF controls everything and everyone is in the mercy of the President. The Crocodile has eaten and can spit out anyone.

The ones thinking the CCC or any Opposition has a say in the Republic is false. They are puppets and working for the regime. They are now partaking in the games of the President and ZANU-PF Politburo. That means their independence and their roles are tied to Tshabangu.

Tshabangu is playing the next level chess that Douglas Mwonzora thought he would do. The new leader of the opposition is a selected figure and a company man. His not elected fella or a person who got the will of the people. No, his a person put there to destroy and play out the legitimacy of the party. This is why the CCC is bickering and tearing itself apart. That’s without interference or even words from Chamisa on the matter. He has gone away and understood the party was already sold.

The trade-off has already happened. The CCC was putsched and taken over by hostile figures. People who didn’t have the interests of the voters or the ones who trusted in the campaigns of Chamisa. No, they have taken over and now they are depleting it.

Tshabangu might feel powerful and act as a high ranking official at the moment. He might feel important and has a office for a reason. However, his another useful tool… and a means to an end. Mwonzora was the same in the previous term and now Mnangagwa has Tshabangu to do his services. Destroying and humiliating the opposition in the Republic.

The ones who haven’t seen the game… it is doing it again and playing everyone for a fool. Making sure the ZANU-PF has the majority and has control. Tshabangu rather recall some members of parliament or councillors to benefit the regime. He won’t field or do anything serious about it. Only serve the memo and do what the Politburo needs. Therefore, his a puppet and a servant of the state.

That’s why its really “rich” calling him “Opposition” or the Leader of the Opposition. That is only in title and in name. It isn’t legit… and sincere. His one of them, but wearing other colours. Nevertheless, he should just associate himself with the PFee. Therefore, we know the deal and nobody who has eyes is fooled by this.

Tshabangu can act like we don’t see it, but we do. This game is rigged and he is rigging it for them. Peace.
