Lots of Diverse experience

Oh please, stop praying with one eye opened!!!
"); document.write("In every family, there are quibles...let's all agree on that!

But I find it so strange and hard to believe that the likes of Terror Lekota and his \"buddies\" are the ones calling ANC names(especially after what they did themselves...dirty fingers from the pies they had while they were memebers)

I feel they should have stayed on and fought for better governance/change from with the organization, rather than trying to form their own party(well, it's their right too since we are in a democratic country).

I wouldn't be surprised to read next that Jackie Selebi also joined COPE(also complaining of their(ANC) management style or so)

Don't get me wrong, there are \"fumbles\" that the ANC is doing, but quitting isn't the solution...right now all they are doing is driving out people off the party(and I don't want to be part of the statistics, I still have hope that things will stabilize over time).

Anyway, competion makes the environment \"kinda\" healthy, we will get to see who delivers best on their promise and who doesn't, and hopefully COPE will out perform ANC since they know their weakness and character...

My view, is this: All those who are quitting from ANC are cowards...loyalty shouldn't be what they say they had in ANC!!! They are just \"political prostitudes\"!

I am subject to correction, I am just saying what I feel in me!!!. Pietro Tappia"); document.write("
ANC power needs to be lessened
"); document.write("We have already seen the increasingly ugly side of the ANC emerging in recent years. After being the 'good guys', applauded by the world for ending apartheid, they have now begun displaying their true nature: a love of power at any cost, corrupt practices, railroading through Parliament any law they wished that benefited the ANC. Thank heaven for COPE now emerging. Our country needs to end the one-party Communist-style dictatorship that the ANC has become, because the ANC is NOT South Africa (although they actually believe they are.) . DAL"); document.write("
Loyalty to the ANC
"); document.write("How can anyone expect the ANC to improve and be responsible for anything if no matter what they do the ANC loyalists will vote them in? SA cannot afford to give the ANC another 4-8 years of 70% representation and with it basically un-limited power. Loyalty is a two way street, for too long the ANC put up and protected corrupt practices, now that there's a threat to it's power it's suddenly catching a wake up, which is the whole point of credible opposition! Cope has already done more for the long term of this country in 2 months then the ANC in the last 2 years.. L_M"); document.write("
ouit cope
"); document.write("to pietro. they are not leaving the ANC they are running away.also I feel that Lekota should watch the people joining and there credentials. they can work in the backround but not hold any position if there is anything fishy. it will backfire on them. and take note there are alot of talanted young and up and coming balck people in this country. look to them the freshen up the new party. that applies to any others who is wishing to join. good luck and keep clean. .

Less power to the ANC
"); document.write("How can sticking to your morals and beliefs, and leaving an organisation that is no longer guided by these same principles be cowardly? The cowards are those who continue to back an increasingly power hungry & thuggish ANC irrespective of their failings in government and their failure to achieve any forward momentum in building a better life for everyone in SA. The ANC is looking more and more like ZANU-PF, which should scare any South African with any intelligence and a wish for a future in SA.

The DA and COPE are our only hope for preventing the ANC from becoming SA's version of ZANU-PF. I'm reserving judgement on COPE as we haven't seen them in action yet, but the DA certainly has what it takes to right this country. Every vote for a party other than the ANC will help the opposition parties to prevent the ANC from continuing to ride rough-shod over all South Africans and carrying on their policy of power & wealth for the few and blow all for the rest!.

what would snoop say?

I'm also Breaking away from the ANC Supporter's I know Nelson Mandela and other guys like O.R Tambo, Sisulu, Langalibalele , and many More To Mention They fourth hard to keep this party United. But now that the leadership they decided to keep People like Julius Malema Who has No Education with Zuma in leadership. i'm Sorry i think i will also recruit all my friend to Vote For COPE. I mean Who the hell Does Malema Think he is. I mean people at his age we do respect our elder's regardless of what i mean charity begins at home. So Malema you've proved to me ukuthi what kind of Parent's you have. VIVA COPE. Themba"); document.write("
Viva! Cope Viva
"); document.write("I can never vote for an ANC lead by Jacob Zuma and Julius Malema and the rest. God works in His own mysterious ways because now I have a choice, i will vote for Cope in next year elections thanks to Zuma and Malema.. Sivu"); document.write("

"); document.write("themba,sivu & others in the same frame of mind-you go guys!!!Im proud to be sharing the same air waves as you. but dont forget there is the DA as well-more experienced & no corruption tolerated. . cheryl"); document.write("
