WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Johannesburg – There is no struggle among the leadership of the Congress of the People, newly appointed presidential candidate Mvume Dandala said on Wednesday.
Dandala was speaking at a Cope rally in Germiston, his first public address since his nomination as party presidential candidate.
Dandala dismissed assertions that he was brought in to resolve differences between the party’s president Terror Lekota and his deputy Mbhazima Shilowa.
“We took a conscious decision to have a strong team in parliament and they want me to lead that team,” Dandala said.
In order to hold the party’s representation in parliament accountable, Lekota would spend his time speaking to people on the ground and facilitating communication with the people and their representatives in parliament.
“Lekota will devote his time to mobilising people on the ground and open channels of communication between parliament and people on the ground.
“The days are gone when people in parliament are there for five years and are accountable to no one,” Dandala told a crowd of around a thousand people to rousing applause.
Dandala emphasised that a Cope government would have zero tolerance for corruption and said his party would “bring back honour to the public service”.
“We are saying the problem in our country is a problem of delivery, of people who are lacking in commitment… we will bring back honour to the public service. The value of honesty must be the corner-stone of the government of the Congress of the People,” Dandala said.
Dandala delivered a message from Lekota to the audience telling them that the Congress of the People was ready to govern and that there was “no turning back”.
The leadership of the party, present at the event, included first-deputy president Mbhazima Shilowa as well as candidates nominated for the party’s national and provincial list.
Addressing the audience earlier, former South African deputy president Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka said she had retired from politics but the youth of the Congress of the People kept hounding her to become active in the party.
Speaking mostly in isiXhosa, Mlambo-Ngcuka thanked Cope members for their support but said she was with the party to support it and she did not have to be in a leadership position.
She said she wanted to help the party to grow and to bring about change.
She added that the fight against poverty should not be about alleviating the poverty of the leaders. It should be about alleviating the poverty of the people.
Mlambo-Ngcuka, in her first public appearance as a member of Cope, praised the young candidates selected by the party to represent it in parliament. – Sapa
