Political discourse as the interviewee puts it is mainly about monoevring around the situation and in RSA always the subject explains oneself out of a possible scandalous situation. I believe our politicians should learn responsibility for the words they utter in public as the youth looks up on them.

We do not want a future of hooligan politicians who will use their influence to steer off to go away with murder under the pretext of freedom of speech. It must dawn to us all icluding politicians that all rights are limited and all conduct as a Constitutional Democratic country will always be measured against the values of our Constitution. Therefore in the process of expressing ourselves we should avoid careless verbal diarrhea in order just for one to make a headline.

Julius is our leader! Whether you like it or not! Obviously there are options, like Australia etc. Im sure our emigration policies are very friendly. We understand Julius Malema, if intellectuals dont understand him, then thats their baby. Wake up and smell the coffee, this is a REVOLUTION. Amandla!

It is of view that every sector has it’s own lingo. How many of us understand the terminology on a medical report? I guess quite a few……politics touch every citizen interested or not and the direct lingo used by some politicians like juju, manamela,blade,etc is not to mislead but rather to indicate a clear stand on a particular subject matter……

This person is well informed but he is full of himself, instant of telling people to use protection and asking Mr. Mbeki to please help the nation to get out of recession, he is asking the nation to spend millions and millions rands to investigate the case of genocide against Mr President who went USA to research about the dangers of ARVs to the poor, do not waste time Buti we are in trouble.
