Enter Zuma

So the ANC voted for their next party President and it has turned into a Mbeki vs Zuma Wrestlemania. I know very little about Jacob Zuma, I was disturbed like many by the revelations that came from the rape trial, which he was acquitted of. I have been reading and hearing comparisons of him to Bob. Many believe that Zuma's ascendence to power spells the end of South Africa the rainbow-nation-democracy .
Personally I believe that RSA rushed their race issues and that tension will raise it's ugly head sooner or later. I mean take a page out of Zim's book, we rushed the whole we are one people thing too and twenty years later white Zimbabweans were blamed for the suffering of every black Zimbabwe by the government and many black Zimbo share the same sentiment.

Ok all these are valid arguments and fears, Jacob Zuma is no saint and he is facing corruption charges and does South-Africa the regional hegemon really need such a tainted character as head of the nation? Perhaps not. It is bad enough that there are those that refuse to treat African leaders as capable, putting someone like Zuma in there is not really a great way to combat this problem. But who else is there Cyril Ramaphosa?

But the point of this blog is not really about whether Zuma is good or bad for South Africa. It's the media portrayal of Jacob Zuma that sparked this post. Today on ZWNEWS the picture of Zuma that accompanies this article South Africa fears the worst from Jacob Zuma is just wrong

Come on people! Surely we can get our points about a questionable character across without making him look like he is completely crazy. It's shit like this that gets people sitting on the fence to totally jump ship and support him.


They do it with Uncle Bob too
Ok this one might be crazy! LOL!

I am not endorsing any of these men. My views on uncle Bob are clear, but seriously?
