“The only people I will consult beyond the election is the Communist party and the unions’.”
I see he is following the TOTUS reader’s playbook.
The left has always controlled the ANC. Now they're just more open to being called Commies.
I guess Mugabe still has his fans. Where will the people of Zimbabwe go when South Africa is no better?
South Africa reverts to type.
Cemeteries.
Zimbabwe II.
South Africa is on its way to becoming yet another failed African state. The only question is how quickly it will happen.
Zuma sometimes struggles to find the right words in English. He is entirely open about his lack of formal education and presents himself as the humble servant of his party. “I am just a pawn moved into this position by the African National Congress [ANC],†he said. “Not an important piece. Not a knight nor a rook. Just a pawn.â€
“Zuma only pawn in game of life.”
Fixed it.
“Blacks feel they were victimised by whites and are owed a living, so they don’t have to work themselves.”
Didn't have to do anything to that for it to be correct.
Are there any large groups of blacks, anywhere, who don't claim to be victims?
If (when) South Africa is locked out of credit markets for the next several years as creditors decrease their risk tolerance, the S. African economy will collapse or be thrown into the arms of the Communist Chinese.
And the Chinese will only help S. Africa if China itself has a functioning credit market to be able to extend credit and mercantilist policy abroad to darkest Africa.
South Africa is no longer the world’s largest gold producer. The remaining mines and associated industries can’t maintain consistent energy supply to keep the operations running. The underlying export economy across all sectors has already collapsed. The paradox of thrift will eat away S. Africa’s infrastructure and institutional competence at an extreme pace in the coming 3 or 4 years.
Who knows. M’Beki was a piece of work, and so were Mandela. Can’t be much worse than these squater and AIDS deniers.
Now the Shaka thing was a bit scary. Zuma means market I believe, while Shaka was a nick name meaning shrimp to make fun of his poor stature in a Zulu tribe. It drove him to prove otherwise into a fearsome combined forces war leader (not unlike Napoleon in cleverness) who punished tribesmen who had gang raped his mother.
I’m not sure how this is going to go with the Rolling Stones fan communists.
Maybe we should send Obama on an exchange program. You know, if he is so worldly, let Zuma come here and rule for a month and vice versa. LOL!!!
They don’t seem to complain about muslim slave masters and Sudan of late. (sarc off)
Yeah, even the village idiot can see where this is going. I wonder if there are enough white people to retake the country and put an end to this nonsense? It is not about numbers (never has been), but know-how and will. The real question is how much do the remaining white people value their families, homes, and lives. Or are they still quaking in their boots at being called racist? It will come down to which they would rather be: perceived racists or actual slaves?
When the time is right, the Africans will then be driven off or exterminated. And the world will not care because it's not a white Western power doing it.
Will he be making decisions based on owl entrail interpretation?
It’s a real shame. Mandela (Nelson, not so much his wife) managed to pull South-Africa out of aparthaid through advocating non-violence and forgiving, much like Gandhi and MLK. Mbeki at least tried to uphold that legacy but all signs point to Zuma going the Zimbabwe way. “Nationalize” all white holdings and drive all skilled white people away.
A friend of mine, a white ex-pat from South Africe said that during Mbeki he was still planning to move back there. After Zuma took over, he won’t even go back there for vacation. Damn shame but South-Africa is circling the drain.
Attention white people in SA: sell your stuff for what you can get and leave before it’s all taken from you.
