Hmmm I just heard the new about Kgalema Motlanthe being chosen by the South African parlament to take the place of Thabo Mbeki. Too me this smacks of  undemocratic politics.

Just so that you know I have dual nationality so that makes me Austro Afro.

Mr Motlane is currently the deputy leader of of the ruling African National Congress (ANC). Parlament is hoping that his calm aura will heal tensions in the party which is divided between supporters of Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma.

Motlante is expected to serve until elections next year where it is antcipated that Zuma will become president.  Yes I’m serious – it is scary because Zuma has been charged of rape and smells of corruption. Another African tradegy in the making?

Chairman – Joe Seremane of the Democratic Alliance says he will challenge Motlane in the vote. But I know and you know that the ANC is the majority party so who do you think will win?

With Mbeki being thrown out other members have resigned and of course this is causing uncertainity. What do they expect?

Unfortunately the financial Minister Trevor Manual also resigned – but he does say he’ll be happy to serve another minister.

There is no plan to change the economic policy which is sad for South Africa but good for visitors because the South African rand is weak – even weaker than the US dollar ha ha – sorry but I couldn’t resist that. So slap me.

But  NOW is the time to come to South Africa .
