Is that picture a JOKE???? Is that REALLY Zuma??? OMG if so!!
There must be more to this story. I find it hard to believe that a photo op could not have been arranged at the very least. Maybe we were the ones that turned down the meeting.
COLOR TRUMPS EVERYTHING!!! They most likely think of AFRICA as their Home instead of AMERICA!!
This is where our people come from honeys are you glad after 5,000 years little has changed and live in America today...
The purpose is to spend as much of the taxpayer's money as quickly as possible before her and the Alien president are run out of Washington.
She's going to promote the benefits of healthy eating.
If that is Zuma, I applaud his efforts towards a green wardrobe - look at all those animal skins he is reusing. Tha’s one good, resused, cheeta skin and like 100 tails from a somethingorwhatever. Way to go Zuma!! Ted Nugent would be proud.
If Huma married this guy, she’d be Huma Zuma!
Wrong RSA First Lady............Winnie has been out for a long time now.
She was not snubbed. Having lived there I can tell you she is not being snubbed. HOWEVER< Jacob Zuma and many with him in the communist and corrupt to the core ANC do not think things through as to how others respond to this kind of reception. They have a big ole case of short-man’s disease and a lot of arrogance of their title and position.
>>At least he didnt send the janitor.<<
The janitor had more important things to do...
Yes, that is a picture of President Zuma, who is a Zulu and that is Zulu dress, for a ceremony. It may seem “strange” to an American, but this is RSA, where the ANC abjures things that are “white”.
>>And what is she going there for?<<
To battle the epidemic of obese children in Africa.
Zizi Kodwa, Mr Zumas spokesman, refused to discuss the presidents appointments in the coming days, but said his diary was full and could not easily be changed.
Even when the president is in South Africa, he is not on holiday and cannot meet anybody at any time, he said. Why is he not meeting the head of state of an African country who is coming to South Africa? Because he has a schedule. Clayson Monyela, spokesman for South Africas foreign office, said that since Mrs Obama is not a head of state or cabinet minister, there was no onus on Mr Zuma to meet her.
Now I get it. She turned down the meeting with the President to meet with Mandela. That was a political gaffe on her part. No wonder the President could not fit her in later.
No Joke
Maybe He’s a South African Zuma wrestler.

There goes the WH cover claiming that Michelle (Dances with Kids) Obama is on an "official" visit. Obviously there was nothing official for Zuma to discuss with her. Ya think they consider her important? Perhaps they just consider her trip a farce?
