corruption is pretty much like buying stolen property. The thief is just as guilty as the person who buys it.

I still find it hard to understand how between the corrupted and corrupter only one is found guilty.

It's funny that he keeps on having children and having many wives whilst he is struggling financially. I can only imagine how they will be spending this festive in terms of food,clothing and entertainment. Oh wait! I forgo tax payers will be footing the bill and last time I checked the president's children and wives are taken care off by state. So really which fees was he paying?

Katakata, no, just asking, because whenever one asks about all the wives and the many, many children, one is told it is his culture. So I'd think it is a fair question. Is it cultural to make so many children if you cannot upkeep them yourself? I'm laughing at the article, because it is actually dear old Shaikie making a mockery of his former friend. Imagine saying the reason you gave a buddy that kind of money is to help look after his children? You're mos then insulting the friend, aren't you?

Cornelius is not confused at all.

We have a president who has no education, who is accused of all sorts of crimes (and charges mysteriously withdrawn), and under his presidency we have had one disaster after the other: Many many service delivery riot, unprecedented corruption, huge electricity hikes, almost no disciplining of perpetrators of seriously deficient persons in government, no strong stance in implementing the national development plan, use of public money to develop personal property, no change in unemployment, e-tolls, etc, etc...

And the ANC wants to re-elect this utter failure as a president. What a disaster.

I totally dont agree with people who keep churning out children they cant afford to keep. JZ deserve all the slack he gets, for breaking his promises to the people of SA, to make their lives more bearable

And then of course you know I have a problem with the taxpayer supporting more than one wife of a prez, but let's leave that there today, it is Friday after all.

Steve Hofmeyr? He's an Afriklaans singer. Pampoen and the Blou bul song being two of his big hits. Now, he also fancies himself as some sort of a spokesperson for the Afrikaner at times. Just like JZ, he also has a string of children from different women. They are true fathers of the nation. Anyways, he wrote this song talking about the Afrikaner history with the words "voor die kryger se dolk" Kryger being a warrior, referring to the wars between black and white in this country many moons ago. When the "shoot the B.oer" song court saga was on, Steve said if JM wins the case, then he will change thet word kryger in his song to the hated K-word. He said that if JM can sing songs about killing the bo.er, he can use the K word. All of a sudden the "anti-afrikaner" media was reporting that Steve is releasing a song with the K word, and he says he has the right to use it if he wants.
