The whole Zilla vs ANC thing has got totally out of hand. The DA really needs to stop engaging some of the dumbos in the ANC and their mudslinging politics and focus on what they are doing to build SA. Its imperative that they keep their dignity in tact [which may be difficult after this last debarcle]. I realise the whole affair [excuse the pun] started with the ANC’s critism of Zille’s choice of cabinet, but when the ANCYL and others got involved it got really dirty.
My view is that the ANCYL is generally not worth responding to anyway with their entirely unbalanced view of things and irrational provocative comments. They seem to still believe that they are fighting some sort of ‘freedom fighter’s war’ and clearly have a strategy intended to suck their ‘enemy’ into the low end politics of mudslinging. They seem to have no respect for any view that speaks out of their well defined box. Not getting their own way usually ends up with threats and the use of bully tactics. Is that democratic?
Its time that political parties move beyond such common critism of each other [although it is sometimes needed as a check and balance, a sort of health test] and make attempts to master the art of respect. They need to concentrate on building a better democracy for all our people.
Lets act like adults shall we and run the damn country.
