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

[Dave A]

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...
