    Is it too much to ask? Really realistically our world image is going down the drain because our leaders are basically dare I say it? “Irresponsible” How much money will all lose? Remember we the tax payer has to pay of his many wives and many children. We the worker will suffer because of investors walking away. If you are the president then you are under the magnifying glass! You are responsible for your actions.

    No... I am sorry but how can the world respect us?

    Nice selection of words.

    Two? Frankly, I think Nelson Mandela did a fair job of it. It was a short stint, and it was a period of transition which all told went quite smoothly. The country was well poised for great things when Nelson handed over the helm.
    Fair comment. I always thought of him as being a little on the weak side.

    It's on Thabo's watch that all the centralising, polarising, politicising the civil service and deploying of cadres happened. And that's what has set up our current dilemmas.
    Mbeki was so concerned about his own position - incredibly insecure. He alienated some of the better potential candiates long before he came into office. He was one of the main reasons I originally went walk-about.

    I am going to paint a picture of South Africa, I come across each time I cross an international border.

    "You are not black. I thought South Africans were black."

    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.

    Free Willy.

    I could not care how many wives the man has. That is his belief, with others. There is however a dilemma where the leader has failed miserably to deliver on his own word, not for the first time.
    Abstain, Condomize and be Faithful - are, I believe the pillars of the Aids policy or campaign, that makes him 0 - 3 and I believe that is a no contest and the only thing in pieces is the integrity of our leader.

    I'm just thankful that there wasn't a fourth pillar with the word 'shower' in the AIDS campaign

    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.

    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...
