General Bantu Holomisa was a relatively young General during the time of Apartheid and ruled one of the black Homelands created by the Apartheid Govt. He was however rather close to the ANC despite this. The UDM is relatively centrist by South African standards. I tip my hat to Bantu Holomisa. Not enough people are speaking out. We need to start fighting more. If we don't we'll be FINISHED like Zimbabwe.
NEWSWEEK came out with its lead article the other day saying that the Middle Class of South Africa is abandoning the country and that the exodus is reaching "crisis proportions". See Fleeing From South Africa Yep... we are going down the drain fast.
Unless the ANC is removed from power this country will be finished within 15 years. Zimbabwe's GDP collapsed by over 90% - perhaps even 95%+ since 2000. And that's where South Africa could be. What stares this country in the face is hideous. This election campaign has been marred by more assassinations of black leaders than I've ever seen in my life. People are being gunned down left, right and centre. The new COPE party has been under attack endlessly - and by attack, I mean right down to people being shot at. The ANC is on the edge of CHEATING MASSIVELY IN THIS ELECTION. I expect this will be the most crooked election this country has seen.
UDM leader launches stinging attack on Zuma
The presidency of Jacob Zuma will plunge South Africa into another Zimbabwe if voters do not "punish" the ANC in the upcoming elections, says United Democratic Movement (UDM) leader Bantu Holomisa.
The ANC under Zuma is "threatening and undermining" every institution of democracy in the country, says Holomisa.
His view is that Zimbabweans - who have suffered years of repression under Robert Mugabe's unpopular government - will become better off than South Africans.
"They (ANC) are continuing, on a daily basis, to embarrass the country. How on earth are you going to parachute someone who is a suspect - with a police docket - as the president of the country? No way, we cannot allow that," says Holomisa.
The voters should punish the ANC, he says.
"The Zimbabweans are lucky because they are almost on the edge of the river... to get to a glorified future. South Africa is still on the other side of the river, we are still going to swim across, following the footsteps that Zimbabwe has been through," says Holomisa.
But Holomisa does not think he is being "alarmist", as I suggested. "The writing is already there," he responds. "Why attack the judges? Why disband the Scorpions and (want to) change the SABC board if it gives opposition parties coverage? If the voters were to punish the ANC, we would not go the Zimbabwe way."
