I am not going to defend Zuma but let us be clear, he is no George W. Bush.

Zuma does not have the blood of over a million Iraqi and Afghan people on his hands.

As a South African who is very aware of the shortcomings of our ‘post’ era, I am not even amused by the audacity to liken Bush and Zuma in any context.

Now that is “nuff said” …

Onward!

One thing to say about Brown and Bush, that Zuma hasn’t had a chance to do.

Does anyone remember the old fable about Nero playing the violin while Rome burned?

Well, Bush was playing in concert with Brown while 1,071 people died in the Katrina debacle.

“Good Job Brownie!” is now the newest euphemism for catastrophic ignorance.

You may have Zuma, but, we have a proven idiot in Bush. And further, since I’m not raised in the same manner, I have NO urge to apologize!

It’s me. I have to apoligize for some of the things I said in this blog. Sipho reminded me of something. You can disagree with someone, but on our culture you should always remember to show respect for an elder. To Zuma – I apologize for calling you an idiot. And insulting you. I don’t like you and don’t like what you stand for and don’t like what you say and do. And I don’t believe that you are the right option for the ANC or South Africa. But there is a line between expressing those feelings and showing a lack of respect. For that, I apologize unconditionally.

How do we judge a leader? Is it based on his Policy Positions, His values, or his commitment to the society and his accessibility. Perhaps it is a good thing for us, as S. Africans to have a President like JZ. This will allow us to have a say in what should happen, and how it should happen. Zuma has proven beyond any reasonable dout, that he is a leader for the people. His views are people’s views.

Some people state that Democracy is overated and I agree. A country like SA that has millions of uneducated voters, people that don’t their newspapers every day, don’t have a television, a job, that haven’t been exposed to the responsibilities of holding down a job, they will vote Zuma into office. ‘He represents the poor’, yet the poor, it seems to think that because he represents them, that he will deliver… and the real solutions lie in competent government, Zuma is not competent, he has made his own financial mess, that of the country, by trying to become president of the ANC, he was hoping to avoid justice. I think there should have been a period of 10 to 15 years of a transitional government in SA after apartheid, service delivery would have been the priority.

Does this mean you have seen the light and will vote for another party?
