Angie, chief recruiter for Lekota

Angie Motshekga  the head of the womens league in her interview in the Sunday Times underlines the point that many have been making that some members of the ANC leadership are if not intellectual bankrupt but their views on the role of opposition parties in a democracy could be mistaken for that of a rantings of a fascists under the Franco regime.

to a question poised by Chris Barron “Doesn’t democracy need a strong opposition to hold government to account? she had this to say ” No, your constituents should be able to hold you to account. From what I’ve seen in the past 15years, the opposition spends its time looking for faults, criticising and blocking the ruling party. I don’t think it is in the interests of the ruling party to be unable to implement programmes because it fears that the opposition is going to block them. We don’t need a weak ruling party with the current situation in South Africa”.

Now if Lekota needed some one to be their organise in chief than then they don’t need to go further then aunty Angie. Zuma and Co wants us the believe that the likes of Angie would be open to reach out to ANC members who have grievances.

While we are on the question of the womens League, you will struggle to find any reference to the fact that this week one of our greatest women stalwart and the force behind the womens league Ma Sisulu turned 90. Shame on you Angie. Shame on you Womens League.
