Politicians never stop being in the news, people being suspended, then put back in their position, allegations of corruption and who knows what else, politics is always very interesting. Julius Malema at the moment does not seem to want to give up, and accept that his time really has come and gone, and I am somewhat surprised that there are still those who believe that we have not heard the end of him in terms of being a senior leader of the ANC. The lesson we can all learn from what has happened is that one really has to think carefully about what you say, and one cannot just shout one’s head off, at all times, while criticising the world. I think he really had a tendency to speak without thinking or investigating the facts properly and too often without having any regard to what the policy of his organisation is.

When you are a member of an organisation or of a company, you always have to speak within the limits of the policy and beliefs of that organisation or firm, and no organisation or company will ultimately tolerate people who don’t have the discipline to do so. Jacob Zuma is also getting married again for the fourth time and the media has always referred to the lady he is marrying now before, so it is not really as if somebody new has joined the family! It is certainly a very interesting and contrasting society that we live in, with people speaking different languages, practice in different religions and having different belief systems.
