Seven Personal Qualities Found In A Good Leader:
1. A good leader has an exemplary character. It is of utmost importance that a leader is trustworthy to lead others. A leader needs to be trusted and be known to live their life with honestly and integrity. A good leader “walks the talk” and in doing so earns the right to have responsibility for others. True authority is born from respect for the good character and trustworthiness of the person who leads.
2. A good leader is enthusiastic about their work or cause and also about their role as leader. People will respond more openly to a person of passion and dedication. Leaders need to be able to be a source of inspiration, and be a motivator towards the required action or cause. Although the responsibilities and roles of a leader may be different, the leader needs to be seen to be part of the team working towards the goal. This kind of leader will not be afraid to roll up their sleeves and get dirty.
3. A good leader is confident. In order to lead and set direction a leader needs to appear confident as a person and in the leadership role. Such a person inspires confidence in others and draws out the trust and best efforts of the team to complete the task well. A leader who conveys confidence towards the proposed objective inspires the best effort from team members.
4. A leader also needs to function in an orderly and purposeful manner in situations of uncertainty. People look to the leader during times of uncertainty and unfamiliarity and find reassurance and security when the leader portrays confidence and a positive demeanor.
5. Good leaders are tolerant of ambiguity and remain calm, composed and steadfast to the main purpose. Storms, emotions, and crises come and go and a good leader takes these as part of the journey and keeps a cool head.
6. A good leader as well as keeping the main goal in focus is able to think analytically. Not only does a good leader view a situation as a whole, but is able to break it down into sub parts for closer inspection. Not only is the goal in view but a good leader can break it down into manageable steps and make progress towards it.
7. A good leader is committed to excellence. Second best does not lead to success. The good leader not only maintains high standards, but also is proactive in raising the bar in order to achieve excellence in all areas.

Despite the census, I'm not either.
Stats have the provincial hospital in Nkandla as servicing 96,617 but the census has the whole area having just less than 20,000 and the greater catchment area has 354 thousand. Any of those still has the police to citizen ratio as way above the national norm.
The new station is going to have 420 staff (including admin, cleaners etc), the old copshops are pretty dilapidated by all accounts and upgrades are on the cards. The amusing thing is the new Zumaville is going to be about 5km from where the new copshop will be as it has been 'moved' in the plans so it is closer to Zuma's compounded Playboy Mansion

A lot of you guys are missing the point about the article. U're simply commenting without reading and u're wasting people's time. The issue here is that the police station is being built right outside Zuma's mansion. In other words, the police are there to guard Zuma's assets. They don't give a f*** about the rest of the community. Some of u say 'well, the more police stations, the better'. Yes, but the point is, is that there are enough stations in this area costing tax papers and not enough in other populated city areas where there is more chance of crime.

@MommaCIn 2010, there was a list of police stations that were going to be built. Nkandla wasn't on that and half of the police stations that were on that list haven't been built.
Nkandla area has 3 police stations and a satellite station within 30km radius of where they are building this station.
The plans are for putting another +/- 150 police into the new station. The area has a population of 8,500 people and (with current police included) will have a police to population of 1 police officer for every 56 people.
The average ratio of police to people in Mitchells Plain is 1 police officer for every 2,140 people.

Disaster kid, do you even understand what a Democratic Country is ? Our president is useless and that's the point. How can a police station that was commissioned 17 years ago be built when the Zuma became president ? And his followers with their blind loyalty want to give him another five years to destroy this once beautiful country of ours.Report Abuse
MommaC
!#Sinudeity#!Despite the census, I'm not either.
Stats have the provincial hospital in Nkandla as servicing 96,617 but the census has the whole area having just less than 20,000 and the greater catchment area has 354 thousand. Any of those still has the police to citizen ratio as way above the national norm.
The new station is going to have 420 staff (including admin, cleaners etc), the old copshops are pretty dilapidated by all accounts and upgrades are on the cards. The amusing thing is the new Zumaville is going to be about 5km from where the new copshop will be as it has been 'moved' in the plans so it is closer to Zuma's compounded Playboy Mansion

They say they are going to build a ' state of the art' police station. Not a school, not a clinic. Surely every police officer in South Africa is applying for a tranfer to Inkandla police station as we speak. The best police station in South Africa with zuma pictures hanging on all four walls.Jeeer! thy just play around with our money like a six year old spoilt kid in a supermarket.

An honorary doctorate is a high-level academic recognition granted by a university to a recipient without completion of the normal requirements for that degree. Schools grant them to honor the recipient, while also benefiting the university by association. Recipients sometimes have no relationship with the school, no prior degrees, and no formal higher education;Fact Zuma has Standard two

A lot of you guys are missing the point about the article. U're simply commenting without reading and u're wasting people's time. The issue here is that the police station is being built right outside Zuma's mansion. In other words, the police are there to guard Zuma's assets. They don't give a f*** about the rest of the community. Some of u say 'well, the more police stations, the better'. Yes, but the point is, is that there are enough stations in this area costing tax papers and not enough in other populated city areas where there is more chance of crime. It's a costly unequal exercise.Report Abuse

No-one said it's a 'crime'. Don't be so dramatic. It is however wasteful expenditure when it's
1) Tax payer money being used unnecessarily
2) To protect Jacob Zuma's luxury cars - and not the people outside the gates
3) when there are enough police stations in the area anyway

This unwarranted focus on Nkandla and Zuma is becoming a serious bore. Come on... what's wrong with building a police station for the people of Nkandla? Soon these media outlets and their handlers (DA and its sponsors) will be complaining about schools, hospitals/clinics being built for Nkandla citizens. Honestly, this is fatal obsession with JZ. Now I understand why Nzimande hinted on the law to protect the current and future heads of state.This is dastard abuse of the press freedom.
