Bantu Holomisa frustrated by downward spiral of his party voters hence attacking IEC
Bantu Holomisa is a former Bantustan Coup leader who has never grasped the essence of the South African struggle and never subscribed to any democratic process. South Africans will always remember him as a power hungry dictator.
The military crackdown instructed by Holomisa on teachers who were fighting against the exploitative and deploring work conditions under his watch in Transkei is still fresh in our minds.
Like any other dictator Holomisa is a self-appointed UDM President for life. In his honest imagination, the UDM does not exist beyond himself. In fact this is a common feature that is fast becoming a defining factor in the South African politics. The common denominator between himself and Buthelezi is that they want to lead forever.
This is a tendency that has been adopted by the new kids on the block, Lekota and Malema, who appointed themselves as Presidents of respective stillborn organisations. South Africans should be worried about these undemocratic leaders who want to lead democratic government whilst they don't subscribe to democratic values.
Based on the stifling of internal democracy and lack of fresh ideas, UDM has seen a substantial decrease in electoral support. His desperation for political relevance and increased electoral support, Holomisa is prepared to threaten the democratic stability and hard won freedoms.
