Being a whistleblower and a top cop does not make one immune to error, irresponsible behaviour and critique. The EFF has always had this kind of relationship with Lt General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and all functionaries of the state. That is what Mkhwanazi is, a functionary of the state who...

[WATCH] ANC INTERVENTIONS IN DEALING WITH CORRUPTION and MISCHARACTERISATION OF THE ANC AS A CORRUPT PARTY. There are people who accuse the ANC of receiving monies from Iran and they have never produced any evidence. They even wrote to the US with regards to this without any evidence. No shed of evidence was produced to South Africans about this allegation. Botha Sigcau burned down and the organisation was accused, again with no shed of evidence. Because the end goal is to mischaracterise the ANC as corrupt. The ANC government has created laws in this country to deal with corruption including not allowing civil servants and politicians to do business with the state, the ANC has created the Special Investigating Unit. The SIU is a creation of the ANC. The SIU has uncovered billions which have been taken from the public purse. Some people who have been accused of corruption we removed them who were involved in Asbestos scandals. When the SIU arrests them it’s the SIU and not the ANC, even though it’s a creation of the ANC. Many people with respectable positions in the public service have been arrested because the ANC strengthened state institutions. We have seen ANC Ministers and MECs being accused of corruption when the corruption was done by the civil servants and now when the DA Minister Siviwe is in the same position the media remembers that ministers are far from procurement. The media praises her, something we have never seen. There are ANC ministers who have acted on corruption and they have never gotten a headline because the ANC must go down with the image that it’s corrupt over though it has acted. #ANCatWORK

#Ethiopian Foreign Minister: #Ethiopia’s State Formation Still Disputed, and is shaped by a Culture of Violence The following is what the current Ethiopian Foreign Minister said about the flawed nature of Ethiopia’s state formation and how it is still contested and shaped by a violent political culture. This is verbatim; I have not added any opinion. 'The process through which the Ethiopian state was formed is rather unique on the African continent. In most parts of the world, states are formed through conflict, violence, and bloodshed. That does not make Ethiopia unique. What makes Ethiopia unique—particularly in the African context—is that the violence was carried out by indigenous, native forces. The main protagonists in this process were Ethiopians themselves. By contrast, in the history of most African countries, state formation was the outcome of colonial conquest, with significant involvement of European actors. So, we have a state formation process driven by local political forces, but we did not have the opportunity to strengthen or cement that process through a social contract, nor did we have the chance to heal the wounds and contradictions that emerged during state formation. As a result, the legitimacy of the state was questioned and contested by some. This contestation has persisted throughout the formation of the state and has been exacerbated by subsequent events. Some have challenged the very legitimacy of the Ethiopian state; others have contested its nature, its vision, its identity, and its narratives. Some have found it difficult to accept its institutions and their configurations. Thus, there have always been fundamental contradictions stemming from Ethiopia’s state formation process, and we have not adequately addressed them in a way that would create consensus among key actors. Another layer we need to consider is that we have a very violent and autocratic political culture. Whenever there are contests for power, political differences, or disagreements over policy or institutional arrangements, the method of resolving them has more often than not been conflict. Imposing one’s will and vision on others through violence and force has been how we have conducted politics for generations. And once in power, using autocratic means to consolidate authority has been common practice. This autocratic and forceful approach, combined with the flawed state formation process, has produced many wounds, grievances, and violations. We have not been able to address these in a way that is satisfactory to most Ethiopians. On top of this, attempts to resolve these problems have often been divisive, emphasizing differences at the expense of what unites us. As a result, our politics has become polarized and ethnic-based.
