  • @smd2505
    @smd2505 4 роки тому +37

    I think the approach he took was "When I was in Rome, I did as Romans do" however one cannot take away the critical intellectual style of Juju's questionnaire and how he setups narrow minded and highly emotional politicians on debate platforms, the point Malema is coming from is how the post 94 youth should imply and apply their minds in current debates along the future of this country, however he should have admitted the system was a no good system, I think when he said "what I should have done" he was just hiding behind the thumb. The system needed to be challenged indeed, however Tokota was focusing or prioritizing on his articles and qualification rather than engaging and confronting the most harmful system ever imposed in our country. So for me a combination of thumbs up and down for both Juju & Tokota.

    @ULTIM01 4 роки тому +9

    For me JM brought a balance into an enquiry that would have taken a linear approach. He was more on interrogating the mind of a man called upon to fill big boots. He wanted to see how this man has evolved since apartheid and to see how politics or religion has had an impact on his rulings and if at all he can still be unable to question political manipulations for if the truth be told the judiciary systems in Africa are not yet immune to politics. The independence of the Judiciary system is wht JM is after and he wants to see who really is the perfect candidate to put in power. Someone who can be neutral. If people think JM was being petty then we are in more trouble than i thought.

    How can a politician without any credential, interrogate a jurist and decide capable or not😮

    I understand what exactly Malema meant when he says all this questions. Remember the Judges who handled Marikana Report where saying things like Muthi and so on. He again likes the judge.

    This does not mean commissioner Malema got defeated. It means the advocate could stand up to tough questions.
