Mr John Mchunu and his leadership of the ANC Ethekwini Region must emulate the example of President Jacob Zuma. In respect of what he had told the Late Joe Slovo when they met to discuss talks with the NATS to find a solution. President Zuma told Joe Slovo that the NATS government has a powerful machine which ANC and exile can not match but ANC got on its side values, principles, morality and sympathy.

The Ethekwini Municipality has a powerful 16 vote majority in the Ethekwini Municipality but those who they push around have values, principles and have public sympathy.

You can not use the majority to do what you please, thrown tried and tested produces to the wind, demolish market, scounder money on bus contracts and projects like Ushaka Island. Use your majority towards development taking political and not professional decisions.

Take a look at Gauteng, Tshwane and Cape Town about name changing, about intercommunity relationships. Majority in those Metro do not mock minorities.

To Mr John Mchunu they say there was an unsinkable ship called the Roman Empire, they sank. The ANC in the Western Cape introspection about their loss, they say they lost Western Cape because of their own arrogance. Arrogance will not take Ethekwini too far. History has shown us that those who abuse power and are arrogant collapse very fast.

Perhaps President Jacob Zuma should give these new comers a letter about humanity and fairness.
