There's been alot of noise made over the future position of South African Communist Party (SACP) General Secretary, Blade Nzimande.
Initial speculation tipped him as a joint Vice President of South Africa. At the very least however, we can expect him to get an important seat in the cabinet. Speculation now abounds about a seat as either Minister of Finance, Defence, or Foreign Affairs.
I hope it's Defense - that would in all likelihood do the least damage. The Mail & Guardian last week however predicted that he'll become the next Minister of Foreign Affairs.
That will mean more tough times for Jews in South Africa. For Blade's views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, click here. I don't think it's too wild to predict that under his tutelage, South Africa will eventually break all ties with Israel - he is already calling for a boycott of all Israeli goods sold in South Africa.
As for all other South Africans - it will be more of the same, with third world anti-Western alliances trumping human rights and common decency.
