My highlights for 2010. What’s yours?

For me personally, I’d like to think that media freedom and the threat thereof have been one of the highlights for this year. For example: there is now Zapiro vs. Zuma issue underway and just before that we had the successful Supreme Court of Appeal ruling in favouring the Mail & Guardian newspaper and giving the presidency seven days to issue the newspaper with the Zimbabwe report commission by former president Thabo Mbeki although this is likely to be challenged through the Constitutional Court.

That “the morale of most of our (Congress of the People) members is high, their resolve strong and their commitment to the ideals, values and vision of the party unshaken” is not true because it seems the party was “built on a badly constructed foundation and on the premise of lies camouflaged as truth”, according to Ramukumba Khathutshelo, an ANC YL members in Sakhisizwe Branch, Ekurhuleni Region.

COPE defectors to ANC will never be leaders as they play ‘kak politics’
