Communications Minister: The Vula Boys control South
Africa
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South
Africa), 29 November 2010
ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) is not
surprised to learn that President Zuma has appointed the former Communications Minister, Siphiwe Nyanda, as
his counselor or personal representative in Parliament. This is despite Nyanda’s controversial track record as
Communications Minister with allegations of tender
fraud.
The
Vula Boys…
The Vula
Boys refer to the ANC intelligence operatives and Communists who set up a top secret programme called “Operation
Vula” or commonly known as “Vula” in 1986. The main aim of Operation Vula was to set up the necessary networks,
financial and otherwise, needed to start a violent revolution or to violently overthrow the Apartheid
regime.
Some have
indicated in the past that Operation Vula was not a secret plan to violently overthrow the Apartheid regime as
widely believed, but “rather a plan to smuggle freedom fighters into the country” (Secret world of Operation Vula,
News24.com, Anesca Smith, 1 April 2004). Now you can fool some with that twisted logic, but it is known that most
so called “freedom fighters” use or advocate violence as a means of achieving political and other goals (believe it
or not, Madiba included!). Nevertheless, the purpose of this exercise is not to dig into much of the
detail concerning Operation Vula or to look at the specific aims of the Vula Boys, it’s rather an attempt to
provide a logical reason why the Zuma-led administration tends to support and favour the likes of Nyanda despite
bad management and controversy. The same applies to the supporters of the Vula Boys such as Julius Malema who is
known for inciting violence, especially against Whites. “Convicted of hate speech in March 2010, Malema occupies a
notably controversial position in South African public and political life; having risen to prominence with his
vociferous support for African National Congress president, and later President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma. He has
been described by both Zuma and the Premier of Limpopo Province as the "future leader" of South Africa, although
less favourable portraits paint him as a "reckless populist", and a "demagogue", with the potential to destabilise
South Africa and to spark racial conflict”
