It's quite a sad story how politics in our country has turned out to be. Stomach and revenge politics are the order of the day. I never thought we would have a president who can stoop to the level of Robert Mugabe.

l thought President Jacob Zuma learnt something from the uproar he got after he axed then finance minister Pravin Gordhan, but obviously not . I'm not sure if he realises or acknowledges the damage he is doing to this country, or does he care? I don't think so.

With Zuma at the helm, we are in real trouble . The childish revenge attacks on ministers who happen to be concerned about his shenanigans show the immaturity in his way of thinking.
