@ Sgandy, I hate them, they think they are bigger than everyone, you know why? we made them bigger by voting for them and now our votes are here to bite us, so the only thin we can do is to give them constractive advices, will they take them? hell know. it is like Mangaung will come and go, we will still continue protesting for service delivery and the like, what we can then do is to vote for a better party come 2014, but who is better? SA has no Leaders

But the warning signs were there even before Polokwane. The ANC had a great man in Mandela, a great intellectual and capable leader in Mbeki and then they decided to go for a guy with limitations in just about every department. Did they not know Mbeki chose him as deputy because he thought he was not intelligent and capable enough to pose a threat. Did they not know his moral standards were low, his judgement questionable ala the famous shower incident?

We all knew yet they elected him and the likes of Papage still refuse to accept that this is the worst president we could have ever asked for.

The good news is provinces are coming out to speak against him. I don't like presidents being recalled mid-way through their term but if there is any sense left within the party the ANC would not only vote for someone else but they would also pass a vote of no confidence against him. South Africa cannot wait until 2014 for him to keep on tripping from disaster to disaster.

Marikana, Zumaville, Textbooks, all these came in quick succession as the man blunders his way through his presidency. The man is a walking disaster; I wonder how anyone still has the courage to defend him in public.

Good morning.... Link please...

Funny thing is he bullied his way to have The Spear taken down but when Zapiro drew a naked cartoon of him there were mumbling which soon died down because they know they can't bully Zapiro. He was shown the middle finger and there wasn't a thing they could do about it just like Malema is showing the middle finger now.

What a useless leader we have in this man.

I think its time we had a woman to lead the country. we have had our share of men rulling. Not just window dressing but the real deal. We all know Zuma and his chums have failed and they continue to fail. Im starting my own political party as an option to ANC, the youth leading, anyone wanna join? And jobs will be given according to education, experience and reputation.... im serious

the problem with Mbeki was that he was too knowledgable and assumed the same with the magority of our citizen, he was always misunderstood and the media made it worse by trying to analyse his statements which resulted in more confusion from the public. when u adress a group of people it is always wise to first dertemine their level of understanding things or else u will be misunderstood and misintepreted. I found this the hard way my self, but since i am no president, i jus end up saying "stupid fools" to myself and move on, while they say thats a craze fool
