(en) Tokologo African Anarchist Collective - Tokologo #4 - Traitor to the Working Class Majority: Cyril Ramaphosa by Siyabulela Hulu-Hulu (TAAC, ZACF)

It is said we live in a democratic country; but, believe me it is for the chosen few. 
Current Deputy President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, was once widely considered a 
hero of the working class. Today he is a hypocrite and traitor to us, the majority. ---- 
From 1994, when his career as a trade unionist ended and his career as a capitalist and 
state politician began, he has enriched himself at the expense of workers ? he is a 
billionaire by the toil of our mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. ---- Ramaphosa 
played a major role in the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), in the Congress of South 
African Trade Unions (COSATU) and in the negotiations leading to the 1994 breakthrough. He 
became African National Congress (ANC) secretary-general in 1991 and ANC deputy president 
in 2012 ? the ally of President Jacob Zuma.

In the years between, his business empire has grown massively. His interests now include a 
big stake in the Lonmin platinum mines; he is implicated in the 2012 Marikana Massacre of 
striking miners near Rustenburg. As a result, he had to testify at the Farlam Commission 
in Centurion, Tshwane, which recently ended.

This makes me wonder what kind of democracy and equality he was fighting for. He was a 
hero of the anti-apartheid struggle, but is now a villain of the parliamentary democratic 
period. He is covered with an indelible and negative stigma amongst the majority of South 
Africans.

But one may not be surprised: even his leader and ally, Jacob Zuma, runs the state with 
filthy hands, part of the large group of corrupt state officials and capitalists that 
loots our country.

In conclusion, all these so-called leaders are wolves in sheep?s clothing. And all that 
glitters, dear readers, is not gold! Parliament, rather than being a solution, is a place 
where the wolves come out to feast. This system of hierarchical rule always changes those 
people who join it. It is up to us, the working class majority ? employed and unemployed ? 
to change the system. Anarchism shows us the way.
