G7 summit: South Africa punches above its weight as tor...

US President Joe Biden, after the disastrous administration of Donald Trump, comes to the G7 gathering with a message that speaks about the ‘Coalition of Democracy’. This is the company South Africa keeps. Not bad, wouldn’t you say?

We must realign morality, justice and politics – and...

I recently listened to a podcast on the topic of morality in politics, an interesting conversation between Marianne Williamson and Dr Cornel West, and found it not only fascinating but, as always, very instructive to our own politics in South Africa.
To bring morality into politics one must ask: what does that mean? It’s clear to me that it was no accident that the ANC was founded by God-fearing people… this was a time when the spiritual and the political were clearly aligned, something so very missing in modern day South Africa, hence the moral decay into corruption, State Capture and continuing racism.

A two-state solution for Israel was stillborn in Oslo. What we need to strongly consider now is a one-state solution.

Don't allow the ANC sideshow to blur the 1994 politic...

Just as we see our ANC politics becoming a zero-sum game, and both dominant factions working actively towards mutually assured destruction, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the ANC pulls a rabbit out of the hat. No wonder they have survived for 109 years as a liberation movement.
Over the past few months, the country has been gripped by the shenanigans inside the governing party. NEC meetings, I could have sworn, were as if the pope himself was to address his congregants after meeting. Speculation abounded about whether Cyril Ramaphosa or Ace Magashule would have the numbers on their side and which way the meeting would veer on this or that controversial issue.

Jacob Zuma must do the walk of shame

He is no Messiah that’s for sure, but the “sorrowful way” must be traversed by former president Jacob Zuma. He won’t spend a single day in jail of that I’m certain, but he must subject himself to the walk of shame.
We, South Africans, have to mock him and remind him of his vile deeds between 2009 and 2018. This we must be allowed to do, not because we hate Zuma, no, it’s because it will be good for our collective psyche as a people. If a former head of state attempts to undermine our hard-fought, hard-earned democracy, trample on our Constitution and spit in the face of our judiciary, then we must make an example of him and his cohorts. And if Zuma feels he is being left out to dry by his comrades, well, he brought this upon himself.

Speak softly and carry a big stick — together we can...

It was American president Teddy Roosevelt who said, “speak softly and carry a big stick…” and I think we can learn something from it.
Towards the end of the year of my 21st birthday in 1993 in downtown Johannesburg, the ANC called me and requested that I, with a select few, form part of the ANC election machinery in the run-up to 27 April 1994. I guess I was afforded this privilege because I was involved in an organisation, the South African Students Press Union (Saspu), which concerned itself with media politics — freedom of the airways, freedom of expression, building community media structures such as radio stations, print media training at universities and so much more.

The battles taking place within the ANC are underpinned by principles and values. Values that talk to a particular ethical culture that seems to have fallen by the wayside in the party. Principles that speak of non-racialism, non-sexism and respect for the rule of law. That is why these battles...
