On Saturday almost all the ANC region that form the Tshwane municipality we gathered in the municipal council to voice out their dissatisfaction towards the leadership of the municipality.

About 280 delegates from; Hamanskral, Soshanguve, Attrechviel, Mawiki, Mamelodi and Metsweding were having a meeting in the Tshwane municipal hall to discuss issues that touches the residence staying to these region as well as voicing out their dissatisfaction about all the structures that form the Tshwane municipality. All these regions had agreed with the motion of voting out the current leadership and replace them by temporal leadership until after the2014 elections.

To some of the problems they are complaining about, is the dropping of membership of the ANC within the Tshwane district. They accused the leadership for bribing people so that they vote for them. Some of their grievances also include corruption, nepotism, division of branches, and too much involvement of councillors in community projects and poor service delivery.

They have concluded the meeting by ordering the leadership of the ANC in the Tshwane district to write a letter to the ANC general secretary informing him that they no longer have confident over the Tshwane mayor and all the leading structures of the municipality, and they want temporal structure to lead the municipality until the 2014  election. 

The profile of the late Hugo Rafael Chavez Frías( Venezuelan president)

• NAME: Hugo Rafael Chavez Frías
• OCCUPATION: World Leader
• BIRTH DATE: July 28, 1954
• DEATH DATE: March 05, 2013
• EDUCATION: Venezuelan Academy of Military Sciences

Born in Sabaneta, Venezuela, on July 28, 1954, Hugo Chavez attended the Venezuelan military academy and served as an army officer before participating in an effort to overthrow the government in 1992, for which he was sentenced to two years in prison. Chavez became president of Venezuela in 1999.

Venezuelan President

After taking office in 1999, Chavez set out to change the Venezuelan constitution, amending the powers of congress and the judicial system. As a part of the new constitution, the name of the country was changed to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

As president, Chavez encountered challenges both at home and abroad. His efforts to tighten his hold on the state-run oil company in 2002 stirred up controversy and led to numerous protests, and he found himself removed from power briefly in April 2002 by military leaders. The protests continued after his return to power, leading to a referendum on whether Chavez should remain president. The referendum vote was held in August 2004, and a majority of voters decided to let Chavez complete his term in office.

Hostility TowardS the U.S.

Chavez was known for being outspoken and dogmatic throughout his presidency, refusing to hold back any of his opinions or criticisms. He insulted oil executives, church officials and other world leaders, and was particularly hostile with the United States government, which, he believed, was responsible for the failed 2002 coup against him.  

May his soul rest in peace.
