NOW STRIPPING!NOW STRIPPING!

To make use of religiousPresident Jacob Zuma used heaven and hellin an expression of what the result of anANC vote or an opposition vote will lead to inthe forthcoming local government elections.Zuma likened that voting for the ANC will belike choosing heaven while voting for theopposition will be like voting for the devil.This happened at a political rally in theEastern Cape last weekend . Since then theANC has been defending the statement andopposition parties, as well as church leadershave been condemning the remarks, sayingZuma should apologise.According to the ANC’s spokeman MrJackson Mthembu the remarks were“figurative and metaphoric”. He said: “...weare in agreement with the President that notvoting for the ANC is tantamount to throwingyour vote in burning hell”.Zuma told voters that card carrying membersof the ANC will be blessed because they willbe let through to heaven. He also referred tothe ANC’s track record, history and policiesas the goodness of heaven.Mtembu during the week said that jealousy isdriving other parties and organisations tocomplain about the remarks because theyare “jealous for not having thought of theexpression themselves”. He also said thatSouth Africans understand Zuma’s figurativeexpressions and the context in which it wasused.The DA said that Zuma’s words wereoffensive to ordinary citizens. They feel thathis remarks will create division in SouthAfrican communities and is trying to mobilisealong religious lines.“Indeed, this is an act of shameless politicaland religious blackmail - the sort of politicalskulduggery that may be the norm inautocracies, but that should be anathema toour constitutional democracy.Mr Zuma should apologise unreservedly forthese remarks” the DA said.The SA Council of Churches also urgentlyrequested to speak to Zuma this week todiscuss the words he used.The Christian Democratic Party (CDP) saidthat they considered Zuma’s statements asblasphemous.Reverend Theunis Botha, leader of the CDPsaid that Zuma is “coercing people intovoting for the ANC” and that this tendency touse religion as an instrument of intimidation“borders on blasphemy”.We asked readers how they understandZuma’s words, what they think about it andwhether they feel that the issue is beingblown out of proportion?

Mr Nerious Moloko said: “It is not apolitical matter. I don’t think it is right tospeak like that. We should not relate Godto politics. As a politician you shouldrespect God and although you may visitchurches, you should not converse yourparty and promote it in church”.

Mr Johannes Moagi said: “I think thePresident is being misinterpreted. I don’tthink he can speak like he is mad aboutthese things. I think it was just a joke hemade”.

Mnr Whitey Ludick sê: “Almal het vir dieANC gestem en Suid Afrika is besig omdie hel in te gaan. Weet Zuma ooit waar isdie hemel?”

Ms Rosina Kgweteand Ms PhutiSelepe said: “Weagree with thechurch andopposition. Youcan’t compare theparty to heaven.The Bible saysheaven is a place ofpeace and we thinkthat in heaven youwill not lackanything.Now we don’t havewater or electricity.People are stillstruggling to getemployment”.

Mr Tshepo Mashile said: “I don’t think it isokay to speak like Zuma did because itoffends the nature of the Holy Word. Itcritisizes other parties and all partieswant to help people. Calling them thedevil/hell is offensive”.

Ms Princess Kgoete said: “I think it issmooth, it is okay to talk like that”.

Ms Magdeline Phala said: “No, they can’ttalk like that. They can’t equate politics toheaven. Myself, I am a Christian and theonly way to heaven is to believe in God”.

references or not?

Mr Sydney Mhandu said: “Personally, I am a Christian and to mehis words were blasphemous. You cannot equate politics toheaven”. With him are Ms Sibusiso Mhandu and Tanaka.

Above: Mr Abel Tshukudu said: “Theymust not talk about God like that.Politicians and God are not the same”.

Me. Elize Lötter enMe. LeonieWinterbach sê:“Hoe seker is hulledat hulle hemel toegaan as hulle vir dieANC stem? Ons isseker ons gaanhemel toe sonderdie ANC. Dis totaalbelaglik!”

Regs: Me. BetsieKruger sê: “Ekgaan my kerkbedank en vir dieANC stem - dismos baie mindermoeite as om kerktoe te gaan!”

Me. Bianca van Dyk sê: “God enChristenskap het niks met politiek te doennie. Jou politieke lidmaatskap maak nievan jou ‘n Christen nie. Alleen jou geloofin die drie-enige God maak dat jy hemeltoe gaan en nie hel toe nie”.

Mr Sidney Lekwadi said: “The oppositionand churches are right. Because if yousay something like that, you’ve planned itand it is not good”.

Mr Simon Sekgobela said: “They muststay away from religion because peopletake religion personally. The church isright to make a fuss”.

Me. Riekie Strydomen me. MadeleinePieterse sê: “Dit issoos ‘n manier vanpraat. Soos dieliedjie ‘Heaven is aplace on earth’. Myhemel op aarde enjoune verskil. Dithang af uit watterperspektief jy ditsien. Dit is ‘n ‘figureof speech’.

Ms Thokozile Tshabalala said: “Thepeople make noise about nothing. Godarrange everything and take the rightdecisions. He was right to use that figureof speech”.

Me. Willemien Naudé sê: “’n Mens kan nieaannames maak en jou gelykstel aan Godnie. Hulle moenie godsdiens en politiekmeng nie”.

Me. Colleen Language sê: “In die eersteplek moet hy nie sulke goed sê nie. Virmy is dit is godslasterlik. ‘n Mens mengnie politiek en kerksake nie”.
