Do we still have a democracy in South Africa?



Can we, after the ruling yesterday by the CC re The Hon. Zuma and the Inkhandla-gate, say that we have a democracy in South Africa?
Probably not at grassroots level, but officially our democracy is alive and well and living in the court rooms and the office of the PP.
Because there is so little honesty in politics today, what you hear (promises) is more often than not, NOT what you GET.
The PAC promised free houses for all and would probably confiscate it from the "haves" of those days - only to give it to the elect few of their inner circle.
The ANC promised freedom for all - an expensive and all encompassing commodity. After 22 years of "true" democracy, this commodity is even scarcer that ever.
80% of the school system is dysfunctional. It is being controlled by trade unions whose only aim is control in the widest sense of the word. Despite their denial, there is probably a great element of the in the report that laid the scandal of the selling of teacher posts (vacancies) bare.
The only "salvation" are the prior Category-C schools, which, although mostly English (Black) today, are striving to keep up some form of standard. "Disciple" is, unfortunately, a foreign word.
Wake up, Zuma-dom, and realize that this country is going to shreds!
Everything has its price today, except quality - That is price less, so priceless that it appears to be unobtainable!
Viva South Africa, Viva! Viva Democracy, Viva!
South Africa, the World (and Standard & Poor) will be watching the developments in the next few days with interest.
My best wishes
(1) to Mr. Pravin Gordham and the Treasury who must produce the Inkhandla figures for Mr. Zuma,
(2) also to Mr. Zuma who must now fire his ministers (Police, Public Works) who did his dirty work, thinking that there will be some form of (p)raise for them in the process - more gravy, perhaps? and
(3) to the Executive of the ANC, who must fire the Hon. Mr. Zuma.
