Politics never interested me much before...Hi there! Politics never interested me much before moving to South Africa. The people involved are juicy characters and the whole political arena shocking!<BR/><BR/>Most of all I'm asounded to see people accept such unacceptable standards from the politicians. Politicians should be role models and a good example for the people...???<BR/><BR/>Zuma's desperate efforts to avoid prosecution is that of a guilty man! In any event, you can't have a leader suspected of such charges. Also, how can Shabir Sheik be in prison when Zuma who actually reseived the very same money is now about to become president???!!! Unbelievable!!<BR/><BR/>Zapiro's charicature of Zuma gives an exact portrayal of Zuma's integrity. You can't shower off HIV after unprotected sex...<BR/><BR/>Personally I have lost all faith in South African politics. To charge Zuma and put a decent guy on top would have been the only way to restore some credibility on the international arena. The Xhosa, Venda, Zulu's and the other SA tribes don't care about that of course... As long as Zuma can shake his Zulu ass they are amazingly enough happy...<BR/><BR/>Riots or not, Zuma will be a disaster, and he should have been charged like any other guy and at least prove his innocence.<BR/><BR/>I've heard ANC top politicians (Zuma loyals) say that they are happy to let the whole political system collapse in order to speed up the BEE processes in the country. With the crime on top, it's a very worrying situation for SA! I wanted to build a future in SA, but decided not to after living there for 2 years. Actually it was my South African wife who first wanted to leave!Slavedude275https://www.blogger.com/profile/02474395400873083460noreply@blogger.com
