Comments on: Why I’m endorsing COPE* http://khayav.com/2008/12/03/why-im-endorsing-cope/ What is occurring everybody? Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:25:37 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Rachel Flynn http://khayav.com/2008/12/03/why-im-endorsing-cope/#comment-318 Rachel Flynn Sun, 03 May 2009 16:43:07 +0000 http://khayav.wordpress.com/?p=196#comment-318 I read you comments on why you endorsed Cope.I am of the opinion that it is about time political organizations are voted for on the basis of economic policy,given that the ANC had an election manifesto in the 1994 election based on the RDP programme.Along the way the programme was abandoned.Resulted that not much had changed and politicians were not held accountable to there election promises. I therefore would like to hear on what basis should ordinary poor South Africans vote for a disgruntled group of ANC dissidence, that were part of the state when it suited them and part of the that same elite that made empty promises to the electorate.My advise to the electorate is,to vote for a party that will bring genuine change to your lives,and demand a action plan before you cast your vote.

I bet South Africans would have needed that level of political and military organisational capability if the ANC was to engage in a full-scale war with the South African army, which was mush more powerful and better equiped than the Rhodesian army!

ZANLA forces operated in more that 3 quarters of the country during the liberation war. This is the time that ZANU-PF and ZANLA, its armed wing, really took both political and military power from the people. From that time onwards up to Zimbabwe's independence and beyond, the people of Zimbabwe were effectively under military rule. Many people people saw that but ZANU-PF and ZANLA were just as powerful as the slave trade powers or the British colonial powers or the various apartheid regimes that flagued Africans and Africa for so long without it rising up to fight. ANC never got to be as powerful as ZANU-PF and ZANLA was in Zimbabwe simply because their geaographic, operational and political penetration within South Africa never reach similar levels of critical mass. The ANC will never ever reach the level of operational and political grip that equals that of ZANU-PF and ZANLA within South Africa. The ANC army, never operated within the population of SA in so wide a coverage that would allow army structures and units or cells to be deployable down to every 100 persons within the population. ZANU-PF and ZANLA achieved that well before independence. From cell or village level up to national level, all political structures were matched one-on-one with an equivalent military structure. That level of political and military organisation was never achieved by the ANC and is so complex that its a huge achievements that Zimbabweans managed to rise up as early as 1990 and took us more than a decade to dismantle. Your comments on Zimbabwe indicates that you have very little knowledge of the Zimbabwean political and military history and environment.

I've watched some of your Youtube broadcasts and have come to the conclusion that you are a much needed and distinct voice on these internets. While I'm here, I might as well share a link to my article. [On South Africa: In The Shadow Of Mandela] http://relevantruth.wordpress.com/2008/12/15/on-south-africa-in-the-shadow-of-mandela/ I'd be interested in hearing your views and have added you to my Relevant Sources list. Again, keep doing what you do, a source for the informed mind is a source worth mining. Regards, Guy Relevant Truth Hey Khaya,
