He is not my favourite politician, not for the above reasons, but because he is corrupt and because he is a patriarch and because he has surrounded himself with some skelms. But unlike the incumbent he has a heart, cares about ordinary people and is quite likable. I don't think he will change much because the powerful vested interests of white and black capital and elites won't let him. But because of his fight with the NPA he will try and destroy them and will thus harm the independence of the judiciary.<BR/><BR/>The question is what will happen if he and Mbeki fights it out in December and those who lose refuse to accept this. Then we have an ANC civil war on our hands which will be disastrous for South Africa. We need the ANC....Pierre de Voshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861888910368295788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36284819.post-46788599895662417912007-08-27T12:26:00.000+02:002007-08-27T12:26:00.000+02:00Hey Pierre,I'd actually be very interested to hear...Hey Pierre,<BR/><BR/>I'd actually be very interested to hear more of your thoughts on this....what would a Zuma presidency be like?<BR/><BR/>Most (white) people seem to believe that if Zuma were to become president we would automatically find ourselves emulating Zimbabwe, which I don't find particularly logical at all.... So, in your view, what could we expect from a President Zuma? Would there be improvement in some areas? And what would be the major causes for concern?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
