As a loyal and staunch ANC member I am offended, upset and appalled by the behaviour of the Zuma family. Never in the history of the ANC, has a political family ever engaged in something like this, particularly in the eye of the public and in the runup to an ANC National Conference. Obviously the Zuma family has someting to celebrate: R250m of taxpayers' money spent on the Zuma homestead. Has the ANC's slogan changed from "A better life for all" to a "A better life for the Zumas and Guptas"? Is the call upon the Zuma ancestors meant to intimidate those in the ANC who are opposed to the abuse of taxpayers' money to enrich the Zuma family? Fellow South Africans, comrades and patriots, it is time to get on our knees to pray to the Living God, the Creator of heaven and earth to intervene in the affairs of our nation. We cannot afford to be intimidated, bullied and cowed into submission by people with a nefarious agenda to loot this country's resources.

Since many ANC members are so dumb to see that Zuma is comic not worthy of a president I have resigned myself to the fact that this clown will get a second term.

I'm now pinning my hopes on the fact that since Zuma is such a stupid womaniser he will go around sleeping with HIV infected women as he has done in the past without using a condom. Lefu la hae letla mphidisha.

I was there in Zumas homestead in DEC 2010 when a guy from Xhosa land brought a truck full of live cows for Dudu Zuma Lobola.

Morning all.

Dr.Head : I think public perception is that he doesn't care and that he's only there for what he and his family can get out of taxpayers. ie theft.

ProgressiveAfricanDemocrat : Also as a long standing ANC supporter, if you are not happy with the direction of the party, there is nothing stopping one from voting for another party, if only to show your unhappiness, but still remaining an ANC member. That is democracy.

This guy does not know what is right and what is wrong,unfortunately. He is just happy to wake up still alive and with no direction. Talking about tax money to him is like trying to get a stone wet. He does not understand, no clue of what is going on. Him being an SA president is the living proof that a blind can lead people.

The ANC has no hope of producing quality leaders. If we succeed to get rid of "Two-Heads", as the red indians from North America would have called him, we are faced with the prospect of the return of the Limpopo Looters Party, led by one infamous, Mr. "Do as I Say, Not as I do" Malema.

I recall the president himself saying on an interview on 702 that he does not want a second term. It is the will of the ANC, and he serves the ANC. If he does not want a second term, then why is he asking his ancestors for a second term. Either he was lying to the public then, or he has changed his mind. I suspect it's the former...

And to those that are thinking of spoiling your vote, please don't.. Rather vote for any other party, so that there is less than 50% majority of one party in parliament. That's a true democracy.

I don't know how these ppl can think its right to galp all that food by thesmelves and their families whilst millions are without any, and its like black africans are suckers to this treatment cause they will vote them even if they eat cake and drink imported expensive drinks on their behalf, whilst waiting for a promised better life for life which will NEVER be materialised, cause our leaders are self serving greedy overfed glutons.

How zuma can be illusional :

@Dandan as usual you are missing the point, no one here is against practice of culture but we expect of a national leader to DEMONSTRATE, PROMOTE, SUPPORT NATIONAL CULTURE not his tribal culture as he is not (officially) a tribe's leader but a NATIONAL leader, instead of a slaughtering defenseless cows for this hulla boola Zuma and his adminstration needs to be thinking strategies on how to help the country creates jobs, cause at the end of the day its the tax generated from employeed/employers that will keep their trough supplies its not the ancestors. As things stands now in SA, unemployment is high, I guess the nation is expecting a leader like a president to not be hinding ancestery mumbo jumbo but come up with clear concise plans on how he will take SA forward post plkn part 2 (read Mangaung).

Obama didn't go to the ancestors to ask to be re-elected instead he tabled his plan to make things better for Americans. Lets get real ppl this is the 21st century not the dark ages.

@Laqasha its just that, we (black ppl) must never allow ourselves to be diverted by this amadlozi (ancestory) BS each of us must use logic and common sense to come to concl which will influence our decisions decisions which will affect our lives, like right now, reality is that the gov is failing SAns especially ordinary ones, and the fact of the matter is that they abused findings on the census to further divide the country racially, for instance Cosatu the alliance of the anc, is blaming whites for being on top of the economic leader, instead of blaming ancestors which many blacks believe in incl our president for the situations we find ourselves in, whites dont' worship mumbo jumbo, they deal and work with facts, they use facts on the ground and strategiese to get the disirable solutions, why us black ppl are pre-occupied with ancestors and witch-doctors, when will common sense prevail and we realise that its our leaders who are the architectures of the down fall of the black nation through their inability to understand investment, and plan in order of priority our resources instead of using all of the resources on themselves and their families?

Even now young black SAn women are sexually abused by charlatans posing as God's will advocates such as that Mboro guy, just when will we start thinking?

When you think about it, this ancestory myth is just like Santa Klaus (Father Christmas) myth sadly other races have turned on the light and realised that Santa is a myth whilst we blacks think Ancestors is reality.

@Thinawise its not excuse for any of the ppl in SA to vote for political parties which are ONLY big on PROMISES and wasting country's money and are unaccountable, and to vote on the ticket that the anc liberated us is just BS at its best, PAC/UDF/BLACKSASH/ AZAPO/Anglican Church/ to name but a few who actually got their hands dirty in their attempts at liberating us the anc has hijacked liberation and are now using it to milk the country dry. If you want better you will make it your duty to find out about policies of other political parties, its a lame excuse to say we don't know about their policies when majority of these parties are on-line and have branches countrywide if you are interested to know what they can do to make your life better.

To remain voting anc even though it doesn't deliver its tantamount to the white SAns who insisted on voting for the NAT regime even though they knew its detrimental for hte majority of the country, you if you are voting for the anc you are guilty for continuing to support anc even though the only jobs creation they can master is to condemn young black males into becoming car guards.

@Thinawise its not excuse for any of the ppl in SA to vote for political parties which are ONLY big on PROMISES and wasting country's money and are unaccountable, and to vote on the ticket that the anc liberated us is just BS at its best, PAC/UDF/BLACKSASH/ AZAPO/Anglican Church/ to name but a few who actually got their hands dirty in their attempts at liberating us the anc has hijacked liberation and are now using it to milk the country dry. If you want better you will make it your duty to find out about policies of other political parties, its a lame excuse to say we don't know about their policies when majority of these parties are on-line and have branches countrywide if you are interested to know what they can do to make your life better.

To remain voting anc even though it doesn't deliver its tantamount to the white SAns who insisted on voting for the NAT regime even though they knew its detrimental for hte majority of the country, you if you are voting for the anc you are guilty for continuing to support anc even though the only jobs creation they can master is to condemn young black males into becoming car guards.

@somaartakeit...Not everybody in Africa is believing in ancestors. People like you for example are the one followed by the those problems you have mentioned becuase you turned your back againsts you ancestors. Well, it works for me. I've seen my life turning around after I've taken my ancestors seriously. Looking at before and after, I can see a big difference in my life. Believe you me, it can also work for you.

I killed 3 goats in 2009. I then after 2 months I found a good job, I found wife and lot of other things after that. I also got 5 lotto numers and bonus number, and I was paid about R700 000. So, these things work.

i dont' understand what this Zuma Fuss, is all about, when the President does this, the Media and the Citizens of this Country will talk,why can't we give our president the respect he deserves, most of Bloggers here the only thing they care about is the negetive site of our President, is there anything wrong when a man perform a ritual? i belive Mandela and Mbeki they did thje same thing, but because it was 'them' you saw nothing wrong about the'tax payer's money being spent' whay is it that when our president does something for himself and his family people say TAX PAYER'S MONEY', is he not working? is his family members not working? and most of you, do not even know what 'TAX' is.
leave our President Alone, as long as he is the President of this Country,he is you President, Love or Hate him, kuyefana nje!!!

@Laqasha this superstition beliefs is used to divert ppl from thinking and coming to their own logic.

For instance when we growing up as kids, we told don't point to the direction of the sky cause its disrespectful to God, we have since learnt that if he exists he exists within you (heart) so which is which?

we were also told as kids to not play outside in the dark cause the Thikolosh will catch you, how many of us are doing all kinds of things outside in the dark? more importantly has anyone got a picture of Thikoloshe? so we can have an idea what he/she looks like? or what does he/she do for a living, is his or her gender? how many sibblings he has? when was he/she born? who are his/her parents?

in developed countries, when ppl start speaking and believing superstition they usually lock that person up in the institution (mental) for observation, at which point you have no control of your finances or anything anymore the state appoints someone to act your behalf, for instance if you have kids, they social workers will appoint guardian/foster parents for them till your mental state is sorted,

Pieksie007- Karl Marx declared himself that he was no Communist, due to the fact that the ruling ideas are prevailing ideas in society, (translation for you, sir) that simply means he wrote the Manifesto for people to challenge Capitalism, as an unequal system based on the rich exploiting the poor. He wrote on religion (Opium of the Oppressed), translation: He meant whilst the poor and oppressed people are forced into religion (by the Ruling Class) to pray non-existent entities, the rich continue to amass huge profits. People who continue with religion and progenitorial beliefs, are setting humankind a thousand years back. I do hope one day you will wake up and see the truth, before its too late

So, is the world better now because of science? Science also created weapons of mass destruction.

Look, I really don't want to start a religious debate with you. Not because I can't but because I know it will be pointless.

You can believe in science all you want (I am not sure what that means, is it a new kind of religion?) and I will believe in God. Dr Head can believe in his ancestors.

I guess one day we will know the truth.

@Papage last time they were doing a ritual, the media took pics of young men boxing the cows to death which was perceived as cruelty against animals which resulted to some court case, so they are afraid of repeat situation cause I don't think those ppl changed anything about the cruel practice the cows have to endure before they die.

@Pieksie, there is no argument or contest of what Dr Head chooses to believe in trouble starts when he starts assuming that such a belief is universal or a yard stick of what we should believe in. I believe in bleach cause I know it removes stains, that's an arguable fact, but if others chose to not believe in my belief theory, that's their choice too and they have a right to question my beliefs not blindly go with what I tell them to be (my) truth.

Karl Marx's world was very different to todays world. Today most of the planet is socialist (where government employs more than half of the labour force). There isn't really a capitalist society anymore. Today it is conglomerates/ government (socialists with monopolistic tendencies) and on the otherside, small/micro business and the unemployed who are screwed by inflation (rising costs), which is the tool of the socialists.

@Ayan for my part and that of my family and friends, we never voted for Zuma because we knew he has no leadership skills, nor were we convinced by his singing and dancing tactics, if zuma had anything to offer he'd have presented it in his quest to woe voters, instead he treated SAns like fools by singing and dancing badly to gain their votes, amazingly it turns majority are amused by small things *shaking head in disbelief* so the very least you can do is campaign amongst those you know against this dissaster should Zuma be chosen by the anc for second term, you are right us the citizens can stop this circus dead on its tracks.

@Imfene partly I agree, but today's gov's are like capitalists in fact they are in bed with capitalist, look at the capitalists trappings all them are surrounded with? And these neo capitalists are abusing the masses (by siphoning votes for non deliverance of basic services) and business ppl with tax overburden as they have managed to drain this country of skilled and economic active human resources, end results now is that the one perceived to be able to pay are paying tripple the cost in tax so these neo capitalists can feather their nests at expense of the poor.

And I certainly dont believe the inflation rate vaguely reflects the true price increases that ordinary folk have to pay every month and day. We're being screwed (especially) the unemployed with no voice.

Imfene- You wrote a lot of drivel, in fact, I would'nt be surprised if you are an apologist for Capitalism. K. Marx's writings are more relevant today than at any other time in history. Obviously you dont read, Socialism has no Inflation criterion, and NO COUNTRY has ever practice socialism. You confuse social democracy with fundamental socialism. Download the Communist Manifesto and READ before you prattle along with your ignorance. Socialism promotes Internationalism and cannot be practiced in isolation, like in one country. Your argument is parrallel to the primates to which your name bears testimony

The anc must just be honest and say, to the nation, look we don't have necessary skills to effect deliverance of services and call upon patriots of this country to give assistance cause generally many SAns don't give a fig who is the leader all they can about it is evidence of how their tax is being used, the anc makes ambitious promises which they know they can never make good on them, in other words they look in the eye of the desperate/voiceless masses and lie to them, the anc has no conscientious they are like tsotsis a tsotsi doesn't care if you are an infant/elderely/blind/disabled, if he has decided on robbign you he will without feeling any remorse, the anc has been robbing the poor masses blind for at least 15yrs its actually being brazen for them to expect to be voted into power again inspite of their outstanding record of failures and corruption, black ppl who vote anc please wake up and see the truth and help u s save this country.

@somaartakeit,
Ask any self-respecting, grounded and proud Zulu person about how they feel about king Zwelithini. You will get a totally different perspective compared to your assumption. SA is full of ignorant, ill-informed, self-ha'ting and self-appointed creatures like yourself who think they know and consider themselves experts in everything.
Dr. Head is correct, you are just an embara'ssment to your "non-existent" ancestors. No wonder they have forsaken you. You are indeed just a product of constant brainwashing by those who believe west is always right and Africa and its people is backward and pri'mitive. I really sympathise with you. No wonder, the like minded westernised m'ob feel no sh'ame in ins'ulting well respected black traditional leaders such as king Zwelithini.

African people are not primitive, people who defend non-existent myths are primitive, like yourself. As you are a hypocrite, why dont you go and live with that bigot zwelithini who serves no purpose to the lives of our people?

Pieksie007- I was drawing the distinction between your non-existent beliefs and the progress made by scientific advancements. You more than welcome to stay put in your ignorant cave, but dont take others with you. World is not perfect today but its better than past periods, like Jurrasic (where you belong), cretaceous, roman, etc. Capitalists are abusing technology for their own means, if all those weapons (of mass destruction) were converted to energy used to power industries, homes and schools as they should, there still would be no room for you to PROVE the existence of your mafia sect (religion). You start a debate and now you decide to run away from it?? I am defending my belief and discarding yours, so its your prerogative to prove me otherwise, or shut up.

@skwamasamabele,
You think like like someone who can not see beyond 2 meters. No wonder you call yourself a bra a.k.a skwamasamabele. I never said there is anything wrong with western culture or ways of living. All that I'm opposed to is faceless people coming to such sites and throwing all forms of insults to African believes and values systems while promoting what they have acquired from westerners and other cultures above everything. If you don't believe in something, stay the way you are and stop going around telling others are wrong for having certain beliefs. Doing so is actually tantamous to exposing yourself. I would never wish to share your views about life.
For your information: Not everything modern is an invention of the west. Some of the things you mentioned were neither not invented by westerners nor perfected by them. Asians and to a lesser extent Africans also have contributed a lot to modern achievements and advancements. So stop crediting your masters for everything.

Well, I dont know what you've been smoking or drinking but its obvious it affected your (non-existent) brain. JZ was acquitted because he interfered with court proceedings, namely the judiciary and witnesses.

Hia Mgwijikhwembu, sorry I got side-tracked at the same time couldn't resist on the west vis Africa being better governed, I didnt' think I would have to explain this to you as I am of impression its blatantly obvious that Africa's tax is spend on self serving leaders whilst Western tax its spent on the citizens, eg on gov schooling in the West its a choice to use public schools for your children gov schooling are fully functional no text books dumped in the feld like here in SA, hospital, did you know a patient can chose if they want a male or female doctor? that abundance of basic health care, eg with gynaes as you know that there is more muslim population residing in the West running from oppression like Africans from own countries so its legal that a female patient can request to be treated by a female doctor, in Africa even the vet is consulting with the villagers, that's thanks to underdeveloped health infrastructure the whole of Africa. Not to mention the dire transport system I call it coffins of the wheels in the case of SA, and African leaders will not do anything for the ordinary folks to improve their lives cause foolish ppl like you refuse to hold them accountable.

Lastly to show evidence that West is superior than Africa, check who is rushing to which continent to seek a better life, its definitely not the Westerners dying trying to cross into Africa in makeshift boats. I have YET to read about or SEE a Westerner who went to seek refugee from political religious etc violence from their country in any other countries outside the West.

And you know what hurts me very much as I account these horrid Africa events to you? is that the bodies in the unmarked graves in Africa (Sahara desert) of Africans who died running away from oppression in their own countries are ESCALATING, and is going to TAKE a WESTERN NGO to bring attention to the plight of Africans (in the horn and West) of Africa not African governments who are as we speak too busy accummulating corruptly resources for themselves and their families whilst most ordinary Africans are just peasants. And you wanna defend this? You must be a pschopath. anyway you should know that as we speak your leaders children shop for their luxuries in the West not in Africa, some study in the West for better and superior education, ask Swaziland and Joe Mamat whose children have just enjoyed vacation in the West curtesy of SAn taxpayers, so you can deny that West brings greatness but evindent shows that your leaders would much rather shop for wedding clothes of their children in teh West, they wld much rather drink Western imported whiskeys, ooh they would rather go West for medicament whilst you peasants are reduced to just being car guards and child soldiers to defend their ill gotten gains.

I hate to sound to be appraising the West but evidence is there guys for all to see that amongst other things African refugees are much better cared for in the West than in Africa, in SA they were murdered, so don't ever say West is not delivering greatness. That's not to say they are perfect but most times they are doing the right things not just for themselves but for the world, especially the orphans of the world, did you know that both British Air Ways and Virgin Atlantic are collecting funds from users of the service for charity reasons? I have new found respect for the British (and the West) cause when ever there is a crisis its them who jump first to the cause with humanitarian aid.

Service delivery start from the villages, where tribal leaders evidently slaughters a couple of heads of cattles to feed the village dwellers, share the meat with them and dance for them to ensure if service delivery done at that level did indeed meet the people's needs and people are satisfied for a day.
And ask for people to vote for them whilst they are still under euphoria of eating meat and drinking soghurm beer, definitely hundreds of votes would be secured on the way to mangaung, Thanks to tribal shower head trickstar.

For the record. Personally, I do not see anything wrong in the story as it is a private familly garhering to perform a ritual of which I must point out, that the Zuma clan has a right as it is enshrined in our wonderful Constitution.

As someone in the media industry, I think we need to find out the real reason of some stories. Are they written to inform, educate or patronise? Just asking.
