Zuma Controversy " Cast the First Stone...""

PEOPLE hoping to find out exactly how their lives will improve after President Jacob Zuma’s second State of the Nation speech tonight are likely to be disappointed.

Minister of Performance Evaluation and Monitoring Collins Chabane said Zuma’s speech in Parliament at 7pm tonight would be “forward looking”, but that Zuma would not go into details about burning issues.

Zuma will speak on government’s five priorities – education, health, creating jobs, fighting crime and rural development.

In his speech, Zuma will also reinforce government’s message on HIV and Aids.

The President will not say whether he has granted any presidential pardons, nor will he say whether Eskom may increase the price of electricity by 35percent.

“I am not sure if the President will go into details about what will be the best price for electricity. I think he will focus on the big picture,” said Chabane.

The President is also not likely to tell the public exactly what has happened to the promised National Health Insurance.

But Zuma will give an account of what government has done to deal with the economic recession.

Last year Zuma promised to create 500000 jobs by year-end – a target that government did not meet.

But Chabane said Zuma would not announce new job creation targets tonight.

That is about as much as most of the world knows about SA, I'm afraid. They all have far too much to do with their own problems, than concerning themselves where Zuma slept last night.

South African issues are not really being broadcast anywhere. Information is obtained through forums like these and media sites. People who are literate and have an interest in what is really going on don't need to be told anyway.

I am pretty sure a different message than any one in english is being spread by the ruling party to the masses.

The Pope and Jacob Zuma died on the same day and because of an
administrative mix up the Pope went to hell and Jacob Zuma went to
heaven.
The Pope explains the situation to the administrative clerk in hell, and
after checking the paperwork admits that there is an error. "However",
the clerk explains, "it would be 24 hours before it can be rectified".

Next day the Pope is called and Hell's staff bids him farewell.

On the way up, the Pope meets Jacob Zuma coming down from heaven and
they stop to have a chat.

"Sorry about the mix up", apologizes the Pope.
"No problem" replied Jacob Zuma,

Pope: "I am really anxious to get to heaven"
Zuma: "Why is that?"
Pope: "All my life I have wanted to meet the Virgin Mary"
Zuma: "You're a day late"

Perhaps our resident "Jacob Zuma" can say a few words about his sexploits? I would sincerely like to know how many children he actually has. I'm convinced we are talking triple digits by now. Way to breed your own clan...

Living the dream like a Feudal Lord from the dark age: Zuma the Hutt.

Ps: Anybody got more wife and girlfriend pics, I'll photoshop them in?

It seems the direction of this thread has mirrored the course of JZ's presidency so far

Sorry Dave, I must admit I found considerable glee in my last post. Honestly I found it insane that Zuma gets more flak from sex than from policy. Its a bit Like Monica Lewinski bringing down Clinton, while Bush gets a second Term. If only we tried the baby scandal instead of the rape scandal he might not be president now.

It was an observation - certainly not a criticism of the members' posts

Ultimately it's getting harder and harder to take this administration seriously.

Administration - now there's a new word that has slipped into the ANC rhetoric. There's a fair amount of effort going into the current crowd trying to seperate themselves from the previous "administrations" of the ANC.

Did the electorate unwittingly vote a new party into power?

Just don't swear!

Having an opinion may be fine in the eyes of the President. Just don't be rude...

Chumani Maxwele was arrested on Wednesday last week when he allegedly showed his middle finger to Zuma's convoy while he was jogging in De Waal Street in Cape Town. He was arrested at gunpoint by police officers.

He allegedly had a bag pulled over his head and was first taken to Zuma's residence, before he was taken to Rondebosch and then the Mowbray police station, where he was allegedly interrogated by intelligence officers.

He was kept for just less than 24 hours and was released before appearing in court on charges of crimen injuria and resisting arrest.

The DA is critical of the arrest, but they do seem to appreciate that there is such a thing as inappropriate conduct.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) has suspended MP Dianne Kohler Barnard for five days for swearing in the National Assembly, the party said on Wednesday.

Fun and games. But here's the real tickler.

PW Botha made finger wagging famous.

Apparently Robert Mugabe has the same problem.

Guess who's caught the disease now...
