Yip glad to know the swimming is improving as well as learning Mandarin......

Guess you must think that China investing over 60 billion dollars in Africa is a nice gift..... Sorry shouldn't use the word investment when its actually just a loan..... Zero interest on that loan as well .....Not

After the previous huge sharks these guys are not quite as intimidating.
Zai jian !

Honeybear U R a square head

keep voting for our big brother ZUMA.

Some people just don't know how to move forward. Quite pathetic really.

Something sinister here.
There is something rotten in the state of Denmark.
Remember when Mbeki fired Pikoli?

I smell a rat!

So it's the cold war all ova again? The so called "west" vs "brics" and the discontented countries seeing that outside of Germany it's basically kind of over for the "west". I'd also prefer to swim with the sharks from "brics'.

Argue until you're blue, better ponder this.

The minute Zuma came to power he passed a law making himself immune to prosecution - those Weapon's Deal corruption charges, remember?
He then served his first term, and a shit job he did indeed. Oh, Nkandla was paid by us, his 250M 'house'.
During his 1rst term he lined up large projects, but bugger, these progressed slowly only... damn! So he had to get himself reelected for a 2nd term, and he did too.
This is his last term, we all know it - but especially Zuma does! He now, dictator style, realigns the system so he can indeed wangle that 100Bn nuclear deal as well as force sponsorship of the SAA, and make no mistake that he will organize a generous cut of all this for himself... of course: after all, where will his money come from after this last term? Oh, no, he can't live on that piddly grant, come on now!
So out goes Nene, who indeed did a sterling job, conservative even, and in goes his puppet who will do exactly as told! Plan completed, he will rob the coffers by daylight and we will pay!

Is it a bit clearer now???

Yes sir, I thank you.
It's a bit clearer now.

This looting of the taxpayers' hard earned money will continue unabated because we have a semi-literate, unsophisticated rural constituency who will continue voting the ANC into power over and over again.

....until they have killed the goose that laid the golden egg.

Not a Zuma fan at all. He's learnt a lot from the previous white minority dictators that ran this country with impunity. But he too will be gone soon. However I'm pleased our country is trying to shake off the shackles of London and Brussels and moving towards Asia and South America.
