africaunite:
So sagamite you think you're too good for the world and others are too bad,and you think that seperatesm or even elimination of the "weak" is a right thing to do. Well I say that have been tried many times in this world and it has never worked,hilter used the same propaganda and it eventually became his down fall. But if we were to separate the world in to two as you say, trust me in the world of the geniuses there will be nobody living there but you only. You're superhuman and I wish you your world of the genius.

You foolish criminals, sons of the guns, go suck with homosexuals and develop more Hivs. You know what, you have no clue whatsoever about the difference between a police state and State police. If your mother or your father were among the ones shot dead by your freeking criminal police you won't be here spreading rethoric. Not long ago I wrote on this forum that the only thing that has really changed in this fake democratic KKKountry ( KKK like Ku Klax Klan ) is the skin color of the men in charge ,other than that, it is a big Zeeeeeeero ! keep in your tiny brain that the rogue regime of South Africa is not democratic, it is rather plutocratic. Not to say a bunch of thieves using so call populist slogans to make the people dream while the regime henchmen are conniving with big businesses to rip off the land.

How dare you talk about an inquiry now with no shame, when your bold head Zuma could have been pro-active by lunching a government law suit against the company for exploiting the people before this crime against humanity happens? your "democratic" Kkkountry is shooting unarmed civilians like pigeons, and you are here drolling. Shame on two of you. if you do not stop the killings ,panafrican forces may invade you and throw you asses into the south pacific, you and your sex addicted fake leader Zuma.
God bless th miners.
Not only south africans should protest the killings, all africans should protest this backward practices coming again from the south after your shameful homosexual constitution. Get the fu-ck out of the A.U.

panafrican:
These brain washed slaves policemen shot blindly because the protesters were Black.
I cannot imagine a single moment they would do the same thing if they had a crowd of white protesters in front of them. It sucks. To hell with a goverment that kills hungry exploited families.

panafrican: Zuma can be proud, his government is drinking the tears of widows grieving for the loss of their husbands.

Julius Malema calls for Jacob Zuma to resign over "massacre" of 34 striking miners
South Africa's firebrand youth leader, Julius Malema, has called for President Jacob Zuma to resign over the of "massacre" of 34 striking workers near a British-owned platinum mine last week

africaunite: To answer a question why they were armed, I would start by saying there's no strike in south africa without traditional weapons, its a traditional thing. You can even google search that a south african man especially zulus are inseparable from their traditional weapon, every man has a spear its their tradition, just like every christian has a bible.

@^^ ;DThat's clearly the mindset of "crude Power" of someone who has never been shot at but feels that a panga, spear or machete wielding protester is so threatening elicit the above boast. Bro it is not right think like "Rambo" wannabe. it is dehumanising indeed. Your SADf training etc has definitely taken its toll on you even if you say that you have not actually be involved in "action". My friend, it is not "brave" or "sexy" nor good to think the way you do. It is obvious that you have never been at the receiving end of powerlessness or belong to that group of people whose existence has been defined/fixed(blacks) for ever because they are weak and Powerless/not empowered. Yes a blacks are now in power(political) but has SA really changed? Please don't preach patience/understanding and restraint to me . Please review your attitudes. You have certainly imbibed the SA culture of violene wholesale. It is unhealthy. Your [b]Psyche [/b]is definitely affected negatively perhaps damaged too. It is no wonder there are frequent suicides amongst the European SAs and spousal abuse too. We cannot run away from our past.

Julius Malema calls for Jacob Zuma to resign over "massacre" of 34 striking miners
South Africa's firebrand youth leader, Julius Malema, has called for President Jacob Zuma to resign over the of "massacre" of 34 striking workers near a British-owned platinum mine last week

4:18PM BST 18 Aug 2012



Mr Malema, who was expelled from the African National Congress four months ago, made his comments during a visit on Saturday to the Marikana platinum mine in the country's north-west, where the miners died during clashes with police on Thursday.

Backing the miners' call for a higher pay from the mine's owners, he said that South Africa's mines should be nationalised and that the strikers should not return to work until they were paid more than double their present salaries of around £400 a month.

[b]The involvement of Mr Malema will dramatically raise the stakes in the controversy. A firebrand politician, he has accused Mr Zuma of doing little to help South Africa's poor, many of whom claim the ruling ANC has enriched only a small black elite. [/b]The ANC's reputation has been put at stake because the union that has led the strike, the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, has accused the rival National Union of Mineworkers, of being too close to both the ANC and the mine's owners, Lonmin PLC.

Mr Malema said President Jacob Zuma had presided over the "massacre of the people of South Africa. How can he call on people to mourn those he has killed? He must step down."

As a police helicopter hovered above a bare field where the miners were killed, a list of those who died was released by Lonmin.

The list was posted up outside the nearby Andrew Saffy Memorial Hospital where many of the injured were treated after police opened fire against striking miners.

As Mr Malema went into Wonderkop Village, as the shack settlement is called, near the Marikana mine, his aides called on the police to withdraw.

Police moved their vehicles further from the huge crowd which had gathered to hear Mr Malema, the wealthy former president of the ANC youth league.

Ululating women welcomed Mr Malema with traditional ANC songs and a few were holding placards. One read: "R500 for killing police from Musina to Cape Town" A woman explained that her placard meant that anyone who could kill police officers from South Africa's northern boundary to its southern tip would receive a reward of about £50.

Mr Malema's aide, Floyd Shivambu who was also kicked out of the ANC, criticised the police: "Most of the people were shot at the back, indicating that they were running away so police actions were not justified," he said.

The massacre happened after days of unrest and violence at the mine in which ten people, including two policemen were killed a week ago.

Police said they had been making progress until late Thursday and were negotiating with union leaders, but the crowd of about 3,000 strikers, gathered on a hill, would not disperse Police say some of the strikers had guns.

Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowd, and then as the strikers began to descend from the hill towards an informal settlement, police opened fire and within two minutes the dusty field was littered with bodies and injured men.

"Miners around the country should stand in solidarity with the miners at Lonmin," Mr Malema added.

Political analysts say Mr Malema's intervention among tense miners and grieving families was part of his campaign to discredit Mr Zuma, who is seeking another term as president of the ANC at its congress in December.

Mr Zuma was called back to South Africa from Mozambique on Friday, where he was the main speaker at a regional summit. At a press conference on his return, he said he would order a commission of inquiry into the deaths at the mine.

Do you have a problem homosexuals in south africa that got the right to do whatever they want. South africa's constitution gave them the right to do as they please you Tree Hugging Baffoon.

You call yourself a Panafricanist yet you deny people who has a different view the freedom to associate with whoever they so choose how ironic and conterdictary. I guess that's how you were raised you still think that woman must cook and clean and they shouldn't work or earn a decent living. Panafricanist still embraces poligamy yet you talk poo abt Zuma who still practise this today.


South africans didn't vote for Zuma they voted for the ANC this just shows how silly you are. The SA parliment and civil sociaties create policies in SA not Zuma. Hiv is a worldwide even in america. India has the second highest hiv population and one of the highest infection rates in the world but does the media report on this NO, and yet a Bleep like you wanna talk poo coming from your anus ignorant baffoon.

I hope your children will be gay one day and then you can send them to SA cause we accept people for what they are and there what they contribute to sociaty not there intimate orientation. Get out of your TREE cause the world and africa you espire exist only in your unevolved baffoon brain.

africaunite:

You've got a point,it is not ZUMA that must resign but the ANC as it is their policies that allows the imperialist to exploit the poor people. And ANC member cyril ramaphosa hold shares in this mine compony. So ANC have failed the people not zuma, what is zuma anyway. What influence he has as he is running south africa the way he's told by the business sector.

panafrican: @ snydergp.
You are a clown, an upside down confused dude. People are dying, think about it before your coffee cake , fool.

snydergp: @Panafrican are you talking abt the same Mugabe who is still in power for over 28years, a presendent who allows torchers opposition leaders who don't sing his prays. The same Mugabe who has over 3,5million of his citizens living in south africa the same Mugabe who took his country from who had africa's best education and health system to one of africa's wurse. The same Zimbabwe who was once one of only 6 african countries who could feed its people without any food imports and now imports almost everything from SA, the same Mugabe who went to Singapore for medical treatment while his people suffer die in his failed state hospitals.

If you want that in south africa and africa as a whole then you must really be the most tragic mistake known to humanity, your a true definition of a Supreme First Class Village Clown trully one of a kind. A SPERM CLOWN like u only comes once in a lifetime and I'm trully blessed to have known such a person like you damn you're a legend WOW!!!

South Africa miners face Lonmin dismissal deadline


A deadline is approaching for striking workers at the South African mine where police shot dead 34 miners on Thursday to go back to work or face dismissal.

A statement from mine owner Lonmin said 3,000 workers were striking illegally and must report to work on Monday.

The company delayed the deadline from Friday in light of the killings at the Marikana platinum mine, north-west of Johannesburg.

Some miners said the new ultimatum was an insult to their dead colleagues.

President Jacob Zuma on Sunday declared a week of national mourning.

About 3,000 rock-drill operators (RDOs) at the mine walked out more than a week ago in support of demands for higher pay

The strike was declared illegal by owner Lonmin, the world's third largest platinum producer.

'Final ultimatum'

The miners, who are currently earning between 4,000 and 5,000 rand ($484-$605), say they want their salary increased to 12,500 rand ($1,512).

Pffff!!! CNN and BBC propaganda. Zimbabwe is stable, this is a fact they cannot hide,moreover there is no "democratic" Nato bomb blowing up hospitals and residential buildings "by mistake " in Harare , Bulawayo or Lupane.

Is Mugabe in power in Greece? This Country is in shambles. Does Mugabe manage the Euro currency ? No, still this currency is in big trouble.
Is Mugabe in power in Iraq or Libya right now? No.
The mainstream media are hiding zimbabwe successes under Mugabe because he hates promiscuous practices and he took back the stolen land.
Do you know how many Indians ( from India) are abroad? do you know how many Chinese, kosovar albanians , French and British are abroad looking for jobs? the world today is a global village. You go where you want to be. Chinese are going to the united states while americans are going to china. Mexicans are fighting their way to Texas, Arizona, California in the U.S while americans are leaving those states to go to Mexico.
Besides that what is wrong about being in power for 28 years? Some are in power for less than 5 years, and their government is shooting miners like deers.

panafrican: Yeah, and there is nothing wrong with the gestapo that kills hungry miners.

panafrican: Deadline looming for dismissal. Can a democratic government stand idly when people are being ripped off?

This is why I am happy when we get rid of fucktards.

When I tell you all that fucktards are a problem to society, you don't believe.

Cretins like these die and fight for the kinds of leaders we have in Africa, that have made Africa what it is today relative to the rest of the world.

In an ideal world, fucktards should be eliminated when a chance occurs and should not have a right to an opinion, talkless of a vote.

In the mind of fucktards like this and cap28, they are pro-Africa.

Mental patients!
