Thank goodness, for now Malema is not South Africa's future. If you haven't heard yet, he was suspended from the ANC for 5 years. That doesn't mean that he won't be trying to influence things from behind the scenes, but it will hopefully mean that he gradually loses all his influence and will be a political has-been in 5 years from now. I see there has been quite a bit of celebration in South Africa about his demise. Let's hope the next leader of the ANCYL has more sense.

Can I just say…I am a young south african who is about to go out into the county to get a job and start a family…I’m not going to state my race because there is enough racial tension here…Guess what? We all live in this country…stop acting like a bunch of spoilt children…if people just grew up and were mature the apartheid wouldn’t have happened and this nonsense wouldn’t be going on either…according to the new constitution of south africa all races are equal before the law and everyone is entitled to call this their home country…no whites won it or blacks were here first…does that attitude not remind you of two children fighting over a toy?…Julius Malema lives in large houses, eats well and drives fancy cars…yet the people of this country live in informal settlements, are starving and cannot even afford a bicycle nevermind a car….there was a previous comment saying that people vote for him to get back at the colonizers so to speak…who are you really spiting? I can tell you its only yourself…people need to stop voting for a party who will simply give them a pump of adrenaline from a speech and vote for a party who will provide for the people of the country and meet their needs…there is no pooint in me voting for a certain party just because they are the same race as me…I vote for a party on their policies and make an educated decision on whom I want to lead my country…so please…I urge my fellow south africans to get over the past and look to the future…our development has already been stunted by racial discrimination and tension…let’s not stunt it even further

Why do whites, view themselves as a superior race, I think life under the black leadership, is far much better, compared to the colonial era, imagine few had the privileges of attending college, menial jobs was all there was. I will never forgive whites, they refer to Zim as a basket case, when ever there is a revolution, the masses are bound to suffer, but it will be short lived, e. The industrial revolution in britain, agrarian revolution in the Soviet. Our time has come.

In reply to jeremy. You're right. The Voortrekker pioneers must be turning in their graves, but not for the reasons you think. They undertook their Great Trek to get away from the British and all the British laws that they considered to be oppressive. All they ever wanted was to have their own land where they could rule themselves according to their own values. I hope for your sake that the "prophets of doom" here are wrong, but given Malema's utterings and position within the ANC, they might just be "prophets of reality". I hope it is not the case.

Ach, so many prophets of doom! It's highly unlikely that South Africa will head for disaster – that's in nobody's interest. What is happening now is that the country is going through a period of radical change, readjustment. Decades of repressive segregationalist rule built up pressures that are now being released – it's like those racing-driver boyos who shake up bottles of champagne at the end of a race and spray everybody with the contents. So this Malema fellow is talking tough – so did Verwoerd. Verwoerd will forever be associated with Sharpeville. Now we read of the white folk running away like cowards when the going gets tough as the country readjusts to cater for 100% of the people, not just 10%. What would the Voortrekker pioneers think of such an attitude? They must be turning in their graves!

Hitler drummed up the support of a nation by focussing hate upon a minority race and look what happened. There will always be fascists and followers who will gain power through sheer hysteria and violence. I saw this coming when I left South Africa in 1998 – yes I'm "white". I hope that remaining white South Africans are aware of the possibility of a radical change. You only have to look at Zim – how many whites hung on or went back – for what? I say leave Africa to the blacks – they seem happy to exist in a violent, poverty stricken way don't they? For those blacks who do not want this – stand up and fight back for your rights. It's only the black vote that can rescue South Africa from a potential disaster.

Go take a look at our “beautifull” south africa and what do you see?We see townships getting bigger,shaks getting smaller,RDP’s being built slower and never being finised.Hungry people but malema and zuma are fully fed,they have 2-3 houses each,we as tax payers pay everything for them and then they stil get huge paychecks for WHAT?!?

They dont share any of theyre own money with theyre brothers.They take everything and run it to the ground and leave nothing but distruction for our children.What would SA have looked like if colinists never came?!?!Honestly ask yourself where SA would have been now…nowhere!

Wake up before its all gone becouse malema wont help you build it back up again,and you know it.

In reply to BlackMuslim. South Africa is and has been in the hands of the rightful owners...black people...since 1994. That's 17 years so far. Just another 13 to go before Julius gives us a Zimbabwe re run.
