JZ is obviously saying the right things here and must be commended, but one cannot help but feel that he no longer commands the authority that would enable him to appease the mineworkers, and make them understand that he does have their interests at heart, that the goverment will make sure that they are not being abused, i.e. paid a wage which is lower than what they can reasonably expect, etc, but that their methods are wrong, counter productive, unlawful, etc. JZ generally does not speak with enough passion, eloquence, charisma, and that is the kind of leader SA needs, a leader who can be inspirational to the people of his country. JZ falls far short of this. Report Abuse

Uninformed remark. What people do not know is that mine workers get a housing allowance, which they choose to spend on other things whilst staying in shacks. It is your kind of mentality that is going to ruin thousands of your brothers. Your racist reference to 'white capitalist' is biased. It is just amazing how your type somehow wants to live in poverty and anarchy... it is as if you are destined for that (I do not believe in destiny). Luckily not all your brothers are as stupid as you. Thank God for that. Report Abuse
