We are delighted to see you wrestling with the complex, profound question of whether the ANC or the country comes first.
It's as difficult and tantalizing as the chicken/ egg riddle. I am sure that the answer will help us out of this messy omelette of corruption, incompetence and arrogance - the egg on our national face.
I understand that the Zuma school of thought plumps for the ANC. The erudite Ms Gumede apparently believes that without the ANC, there would be no country. Bizarre. But easily tested. Unlike the chicken/ egg question. Empirical proof is within our grasp.
Could the ANC bugg..., sorry, retire for a bit. That would settle the issue.
Some cynics maintain that, with the ANC, it's a miracle that we still have a country. At least, whatever's left after various garage sales and Black Friday specials. So cynical.
If there's to be any chicken or egg to be had in future, the ANC needs to resolve the issue. Soon.
A quote, reportedly from Mr Zuma:
"Because those people, if they are not part of the ANC and there was no ANC they could be misled. They could be under... oppression forever."
He said the country needed a conscious organisation which could take the people "to their destination".
To misquote Mr Churchill: Some chicken, some egg, some destination!
Yours in the struggle for truth (and a chicken in every pot).
