SA is actually a democracy and with that in mind let me ask: What the hell is Julius “Kill them all” Malema going on about?
To quote the genius himself:
We must … intensify the struggle to eliminate the remnants of counter-revolution, which include the DA and a loose coalition of those who want to use state power to block the ANC president’s ascendancy to the highest office of the land.
Uhu… so should we remove our internationally acclaimed constitution at the same time or is that little document OK Julius? There is something in there about freedom of speech I think, but correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m not sure if Malema completely understands the concept of democracy and the role of viable oppositions in a democratic society?
Mr Malema let me briefly explain myself. If you are to “eliminate the remnants of counter-revolution” you will be removing the opposition. If you do that, you are left with a single party state (roughly translated as a Mugabe-esque Zimbabwe government). This is not a good thing Mr Malema. This is not a good thing at all. This will not help our country become more representative. This will exclude more than the white people in this country (I think that’s what Malema means to say), this sort of talk or move will isolate freedom of choice, freedom of expression and inherently take us 40 years in to the past where opinion, choice and freedom did not exist. Do you remember those days Mr Malema?
One of the reasons that SA Rocks and will only grow in leaps and bounds is because we are a democratic state that allows people to be represented in government, that allows people to speak out against their leaders who say that they will kill anyone who opposes their leader, this is the reason that it rocks to be a part of a democracy. It’s a little thing called freedom Mr Malema.
And let me say one thing in closing. I will die before I let you take away my freedom to choose, my freedom to oppose Jacob Zuma, Helen Zille, Mangosutho Buthelezi, You (Mr Malema) or any leader that we might have one day. Considering the past of this nation, it would only be a mistake to take away the public’s freedom to choose a leader, look where it got us in the past.

Malema is an idiot. He couldn’t string 2 coherent sentences together if he tried. He is just a product of the ANCYL.

Good one! Even though we all know you are correct there seems to be support for these tyrants. Education, education and more education is required to remove this type of person from SA life.

Paul – agreed, education is a key factor in todays political environment. The more educated voters are the more ridiculous politicians look.
Steven – Too true.

Sure Malema understands the concept of democracy….
“A democracy is dangerous because it is a one-vote system as opposed to a Republic, which is a three-vote system. Three votes to check tyranny, not just one. Citizens have not been informed of their other two votes.”
~ Guerrylla Law for Patriots ~
I don’t hear Malema, or any other South African politician, past or current, who have the remotest interest in moving South Africa from a ‘demockery’ to a Republic; they’d prefer to entrench their demockery as it slides it’s slippery slope to Mugabe demockery la la land….
