");
document.write("This is how disinformation is spread by the ruling party. They cannot accept that they also need to evolve with the times and that people are entitled to individuality. Good reason for a new party to be formed apart from the ruling ANC who are leading us to anarchy and dictatorship. Please start another party Mr Lekota. South Africa needs leaders who can think widely about ALL of the population's needs - not just the party's needs.. Lesley");

");
document.write("South Africa needs to be governed by a body that takes into account the WHOLE country's needs not just their own selfish interests. Evidences on the ANC's mismanagement are popping out all over (e.g. our Health ministry), and the time is becoming ripe for a party that represents the wealth-generating section of the population (both Black and White), not just millions of voters who actually contribute nothing to the overall welfare of the nation. . gerald");

document.write("Isn't it interesting that the user comments forgot to say anything about Lekota's preferred way to communicate his concerns? If he was a true ANC cadre not a Mbeki fan then he would have followed the ANC protocol instead of rushing to the media... Shame on you Lesley if you seriously think Lekota is capable of starting a party. What is gerald talking about here? The article is all about the contents of the open letter that lekota wrote to the ANC... not black and white parties. Better famialirise yourselves with the art of critical thinking if you want to be better commentators. . Sifiso");
document.write("Move on Mr. Lekota
");
document.write("The direction of the ANC and the ANCYL is clearly out of sync with what they originally stood for. The attitude of their \"new\" leadership smacks of arrogance and it is time that a realignment occurs with the Lekotas and the other disillusioned members leaving and either joining the opposition or forming a new strong opposition.. len");
document.write("are you all blind???
");
document.write("mr lekota's letter addresses EXACTLY what is happening - one of the very things he says is when anything is said that the ANC doesn't like - they attack the individual - isn't that exactly what is happening here? respond to the issues in his letter, don't respond with an AK47!!!
as to why publish it in the media? do you really think if he had of followed the channels that the ANC would have \"let it\" come out? come on people.
mr lekota is spot-on with his comments, and the ANC just don't have a leg to stand on - so they resort to \"kill him\"...
mandela must be so proud of what he has achieved !!!

As the dust settles, the pack is diminished and the strongest and fittest have survived. It's all about the survivial of the fittest and the animal instinct that drives us all. For what it represents, the ANC was once a superpower of democracy and freedom. It's fast becoming a haven for greed and corruption. These hyenas are killing themselves. The lions are waiting.. Thomas");
document.write("Un ANC
");
document.write("Sifiso, this is not about being a comentator, this is about democracy and freedom of thought and expression, access to information and freedom of the press / media. There is nothing wrong with an open letter in the media EXCEPT for those who have something to hide from those who are capable of critical thinking and decision making based on reality not empty promises of future wealth. Are the ANC actually a communist party and not in favour of democracy? Communism \"deals\" (lets not say how) with people internally and according to protocol that they set down. Better you familiarise yourself with true democracy and freedom for everybody in South Africa rather than hide greed behind the party protocol. Seems you are counting on the ANC to give you a handout from the nationalisation of other peoples property and efforts.. lesley");

The likes of the PAC and UDM are classical examples of what happens when people feel like they are bigger than the ANC. The ANC remains a voluntary organisation.. John Smith");

document.write("Lesley, you need to comment on the contents and merits of the 'open letter'!! Who said anything handouts, promises of wealth?? don't flip flop here... re-read the article and then comment it.

Remember Hitler's Reich, like Ian Smith's Rhodesia, that would last a thousand years! Forever is an immensely long time in politics, Jeff Radebe. A week, indeed, is a very long time.
