'..in his novel “Black Diamond,” Zakes Mda, wryly observes, “in this brave new world, accumulation of personal wealth is dressed up in militarism, as if capitalism is the continuation of the guerrilla warfare that was fought during apartheid.”'

And yeah, afterbirth, I agree on the cadre deployment on ministerial level, but we have to admit that it has f***ed up so much on all other levels that continuing to do so is incredibly stupid and is basically a big f*** you to all citizens.

Check what has been happening now in the FS. Our MEC for finances is the former municipal manager of a municipality which was ranked the worst in the province and got innumerable unqualified AG audits. What did he get for this? A promotion to MEC level. Why? cos of his buddies in high places.

But then, he didn't struggle to be poor, did he? The rest of the poor folk in the country did, but not them. They had it way too tough back  in the before time.

touche.. though methinks the loose usage of the term 'cadre deployment' needs further scrutiny.. though the appointment of ANC members to any post in our polity's referred to as cadre deployment.. it is only problematic insofar as it relates to incompetence and posts that are meant to be non partisan.. however, in the instance of your MEC, notwithstanding his shortcomings, the usage of the term 'cadre deployment' to his appointment as MEC, which is by definition a political post is not cadre deployment in my understanding.. whereas his appointment as municipal manager (ie. a non partisan position was..) cadre deployment is a fundamental cog in the first stage of the national democratic revolution & it is naive to think the ANC would not want its sympathisers in influential positions controlling the levers of state. my biggest gripe is with the politicisation of the civil service. DGs, municipal managers (ie. all them operational cats) ought solely be appointed on the strength of their qualifications.. the ANC with about 65% of the vote need not worry about these people not being aligned to their interests as on a balance of probability they'll probably be found to be supporters even if not card carrying members..

aside: julius on patricia de lille..
"This Patricia going around saying I owe Sars, she must get her facts properly. She must go and build her own family and be concerned about the taxes of her husband, if she has a husband. Patricia doesn't look like a married woman. There is no normal man who can marry Patricia. If Patricia has a husband that husband must divorce Patricia and come looking for a well-mannered beautiful, women in the ANC, because beauty in South Africa is only in the African National Congress."
chuckler of note he is..

Maybe if she wasn't too busy sleeping with Dali she might have been able to tell him she does not agree with it and influence him.
 
   

HUH!

dali mpofu's old news.. keep it moving..

Cadre Deployment??? the current minister of arts for example, what does she know about art??? a person well versed and articulate in the art world Mr. Pallo is no longer the minister of arts as he was a so called supporter of mbeki and look at the non-existent government programmes for artists...

*sigh.. cabinet minister's are political appointments and need not be experts in their field.. by way of example pravin gordhan's a pharmacist by training yet doing fairly well in his finance post.. whereas manto who was a doctor, though soviet trained, didn't acquit well of herself.. aside: pallo jordaan hasn't been consigned to the rubbish heap of history, but ha been posted as south africa's amba**ador to the UN.. a post more suited to his intellectualism & other talents.. the shortcomings of cadre deployment are best evidenced by the failings at the local level, other inappropriate political appointments in the civil service, which ought be non partisan and the roughshod manner in which certain appointments are now being made..  eg. simelane as ndpp.. your attempt at political analysis is inane at best..
