Is a "Tshabangu" loading in #southafrica...? #umkhontowesizwe #MKparty

[Mmeli @U_Mmeli]

When all is said and done, #SouthAfrica must be congratulated for upholding their democracy once more. Watching the @MYANC concede losing their majority was refreshing. What a good example for other liberation movements in our continent! #hopeforAfrica #SAelections

Ruling party leader stops academic’s lecture on Zimbabwe elections https://t.co/YrCtylMiWM

[Hopewell Chin’ono @daddyhope]

The African National Congress of South Africa’s Secretary General, Fikile Mbalula has blocked Wits University’s O.R Tambo School of Leadership from hosting Zimbabwean public intellectual Dr Ibbo Mandaza’s public lecture on the state of democracy in the SADC region reflecting on the national elections in Zimbabwe.

In an email Mbalula sent to the University today from Harare where he has been wining and dining with his ZANUPF colleagues, Mbalula said Dr Mandaza’s public lecture would mess up private ANC/ZANUPF discussions.

The lecture was supposed to take place on the 7th of September at the University.

There is disgruntlement amongst some in the ANC about Fikile Mbalula’s shameless embrace of ZANUPF and his social media posturing defending rigged elections calling them democracy.

Mbalula has gone further to insult Zimbabwe’s main opposition leader, Nelson Chamisa, calling him a Western puppet!

His intervention to stop Dr Mandaza’s lecture came after senior ZANUPF leaders lobbied him to have it canceled, a move that shows how ZANUPF’s hand is now strengthened in controlling even intellectual matters in South African universities through Mbalula.

The irony of him calling Chamisa a puppet is not lost on many in this regard!

A South African senior civil servant commented off the record on how Mbalula’s irrational behaviour has seen questions being asked on whether ZANUPF money has been used in ANC leadership elections to prop up its ANC puppets in exchange for support of its rigged elections, repression and corrupt rule!

An academic at Wits Unibody asked why what Dr Ibbo Mandaza was going to say would be an issue to any negotiations the ANC is having with ZANUPF unless ZANUPF actually rigged the elections in Zimbabwe.

“Mbalula’s unprecedented intervention shows that the election was rigged,” she said.

“What does Mbalula know about the Zimbabwean election that he is worried about, and why would it jeopardise ANC private discussions with ZANUPF,” she retorted adding that Mbalula was bringing Zanupf-ism to an academic institution.

Gabon's ousted President Ali Bongo once imported fake snow to the Presidential Palace, so his family could have a snowy Christmas.

33.4% of Gabon's population live in poverty despite being oil rich and having a population of only 2.4 million people.
