The NDC of ANC yesterday handed down the toughest verdict on the firebrand of the ANCYL leader, Julius Malema, by expelling him from the ANC for five years for putting the party into disrepute and for sowing divisions within the party.
In a statement Political Analyst Madoda Fikeni said Juju’s political life has been thrown into the political wilderness and it would be very difficult for him to bounce back after such a long time and re-join the political race within ANC. Malema has 14 days in which to appeal his sentence, but many analysts believe his chances of winning the case are too slim to none.
What next for Juju? Some people also think Malema will take the appeal window as a political tactic to remain within the party and to be able to galvanise for support while his stay lasts. Remember there is the elective conference in Mangaung in December and the young Turkey is expecting the unexpected and be elected. But for now, the young boy has gotten more than what he bargained for and only time will tell if he will be able to weather this storm.
Cde,to become a champion,one has to get used to know how it feels to be in the doldrums.What defines gritty and shrewd politicians is not the trailblazing attitude and juggernaut concept of succeeding in every move they take,but to also feel the heat in the prisons,outskirts and the thorny desertic conditions off the political terrain.African history tells us a lot about most leberation party leaders such as the iconic and dazzling Zimbabwean leader, Cde R.G Mugabe,the late Samora Machel,Nelson Mandela,Daniel Arap Moi,Kenneth Kaunda etc.Their political lifes were once thrown into some quandary quagmires by the colonial settlers before their historic comeback to dethrone the former colonial masters.
ReplyDeleteCde BM,this is a wait and see game as the very thorny issue (land question) they booted him out for,is swiftly simmering among the prudent few of the country populace.It is this laypeople that matters after all and will probably have the last laght.
I rest my case.....

I hear you Cde, indeed it's a wait and see game, the land question is a contentious issue that must be handled with kid gloves, otherwise it can explode indiscriminately and uncontrollably.
