Rule #1: Use enough gun |
Based on my own experience in S.A., post white-rule, I didn't know corruption was illegal there. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/14...dent-intl/index.html Jacob Zuma has quit as President of South Africa, finally succumbing to a slew of corruption scandals that have drained support from his ruling African National Congress party. "No life should be lost in my name and also the ANC should never be divided in my name," he said during a nationally televised political address Wednesday. The announcement came after the ANC took the extraordinary step of calling for a no-confidence vote in the leader on Wednesday, a day after it publicly demanded his resignation. Party officials on Tuesday decided to issue a "recall" notice after failing privately to convince Zuma that he should step aside. After his resignation announcement, Zuma said he disagreed with the decision of his political party and that he has always been a "disciplined member of the ANC." "As I leave I will continue to serve the people of South Africa as well as the ANC, the organization I have served all of my life in," Zuma said. Zuma, 75, survived multiple attempts by opposition parties to oust him during his more than eight years in power, earning him the nickname of the "Teflon president." The ANC had been trying to push Zuma out for months. It dumped him as party president in December, narrowly electing Cyril Ramaphosa, a millionaire former union leader, over Zuma's preferred successor, his ex-wife, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma. Ramaphosa said Sunday that the uncertainty over Zuma's future had damaged the ANC. But despite signs that the party was losing electoral support over the protracted drama, internal divisions forced Ramaphosa to tread cautiously. For years, the ANC -- which led South Africa out of apartheid -- put party unity first, even as it became apparent that Zuma was an electoral liability. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make.

Perhaps, but I'd still bet that the ANC is still going the way of the American Whig party. That clunker has been a rolling mess for years. | |||

I was always of the opinion that most African states actually run on corruption. When did that change? tac | |||

His presidential immunity is gone. He now faces the reinstatement of 783 counts of corruption. I guess you could call that a "scandal". Harshest Dream, Reality | |||

Oh, yeah, they will be much better off now that a former union leader is in charge now. Like they have never found any union officials guilty of corruption...good luck with that "change". Probably just someone else's turn to rape the country of our govt aid(welfare) to Africa. NRA Life Endowment member Tri-State Gun collectors Life Member | |||
