Why are some people prepared to risk everything theyve achieved so far just to protect Zwelinzima Vavi? Thats where were getting it wrong. Instead of investing our minds, energy and resources in the just course of struggle, people spend whatever they have in defence of an individual. Thats exacly how corruption starts People bring you to power and then anticipate to be rewarded for their deceitful effort through tenders as well as other means possible The likes of Vavi and Malema worked tirelessly in defence of Zuma during the Mbeki era, even making everybody believe Mbeki was behind all the legal wrangles Zuma went through It was obvious that they invested in Zuma in return for something. When that something never emerged, they commenced a political onslaught against him, even trying to orchestrate his removal by punting Kgalema as a better candidate during the Mangaung Conference in 2012 I can vividly recall how elated Vavi was when he received a call from the Polokwane Conference in 2007, indicating that Zuma had defeated Mbeki in the contest for ANC Presidency. He even announced the result to the COSATU Conference, which was also in session, to the jubulation of the entire house as the federation was behind Zuma Vavi always accompanied Zuma to the Durban High Court for corruption allegations as well as the Joburg High Court for the rape charges. Mind you there were even night vigils organised by the ANC Youth League under Malema Today, Vavi doesnt want to submit to the COSATU DC to prove his innocence according to the NUMSA leadership, and the misdirected NUMSA, under Jim, is at the forefront of his defence These individuals assumed that by showing unconditional patronage to Zuma, they would be dictating terms to him during his Presidency, forgetting that they werent the only role players in the equation. Unfortunately they were in for a big surprise So I get very worried when some individuals sacrifice everything theyve accomplished, be it a union or political formation, just to defend an individual such as Vavi, who admitted on social media that he did what has become common knowledge to all of us My seamless conclusion is that Jim and his misled company see VaVi as a vehicle to gaining access to state resources, and that through him, theyll be in Cabinet, both dictating terms and determining which direction tenders should take So Im not at all surprised by their actions...
