Jacob Zuma backs traditional courts instead of "white man's way"
The Telegraph ^ | Sunday, November 4, 2012 | Aislinn Laing

Jacob Zuma, the South African president, has issued a ringing endorsement of traditional courts, saying that problems should be resolved “the African way, not the white man’s way”.

Mr Zuma, a proud Zulu who himself subscribes to traditional practices such as polygamy, said that those living in rural communities in South Africa found the traditional justice system a better way of resolving their disputes.

“Prisons are done by people who cannot resolve problems,” he was quoted as saying by South Africa’s Times newspaper.

“Let us solve African problems the African way, not the white man’s way. Let us not be influenced by other cultures and try to think the lawyers are going to help.

He added that he will keep the tradition of using a white win sauce for long pork.

Yes, the 'African Way' works so well in other parts of Africa.

South Africa will soon resemble the hellholes many of the blacks current living there fled.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. These people will take southern Africa back 300 years and then expect the rest of the world to support them in perpetuity.

REG: They’ve bled us white, the bastards. They’ve taken everything we had, and not just from us, from our fathers, and from our fathers’ fathers.

LORETTA: And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers.

REG: Yeah.

LORETTA: And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers’ fathers.

REG: Yeah. All right, Stan. Don’t labour the point. And what have they ever given us in return?!

XERXES: The aquaduct?

REG: What?

XERXES: The aquaduct

REG: Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us that. Uh, that’s true. Yeah.

COMMANDO #3: And the sanitation.

LORETTA: Oh, yeah, the sanitation, Reg. Remember what the city used to be like?

REG: Yeah. All right. I’ll grant you the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the Romans have done.

MATTHIAS: And the roads.

REG: Well, yeah. Obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don’t they? But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads—

COMMANDO: Irrigation.

XERXES: Medicine.

COMMANDOS: Huh? Heh? Huh...

COMMANDO #2: Education.

COMMANDOS: Ohh...

REG: Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough.

COMMANDO #1: And the wine.

COMMANDOS: Oh, yes. Yeah...

FRANCIS: Yeah. Yeah, that’s something we’d really miss, Reg, if the Romans left. Huh.

COMMANDO: Public baths.

LORETTA: And it’s safe to walk in the streets at night now, Reg.

FRANCIS: Yeah, they certainly know how to keep order. Let’s face it. They’re the only ones who could in a place like this.

COMMANDOS: Hehh, heh. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.

REG: All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?

XERXES: Brought peace.

REG: Oh. Peace? Shut up!

““Let us solve African problems the African way“Let us solve African problems the African way”.

That message paid for by used tire dealers and local gasoline dealers in Africa.

“Necklacing” - it IS the African way.

“Let us solve African problems the African way, not the white man’s way.”

An open invitation to “necklacing” and other superior forms of aboriginal justice. After all, why utilize trial by jury, right to confront witnesses, and other “white man’s ways” when you can use jungle justice?

Thanks MinorityRepublican.
Jacob Zuma, the South African president... a proud Zulu who himself subscribes to traditional practices such as polygamy, said that those living in rural communities in South Africa found the traditional justice system a better way of resolving their disputes.
Y'know, like "necklaces" made of gasoline-soaked tires.

That's the ticket. Get rid of fairness and competency for a system that favors the most powerful tribes/families. A sure winner. /s
