What about the humiliation she caused an innocent man with her malicious and pre-meditated accusation? Who should be angry here?

He gave them both a tounge lashing. Zuma managed to take it with some dignity and apologise.
There are quite a few arguments and sides with this issue... Some people feel that she was unnecesarily humiliated while Zuma was pretty much left with his integrity unquestioned. If you think of the effects of this trial as well, the woman is forced to flee into exile (or very likely be killed) while Zuma has just as good a shot at becoming president as he always did.
Yes he showed great humility which is rare of leaders and that won him a lot of new support from neutral observers.Originally Posted by JStrike
Yes unfortunately the woman might have been used to further certain interests but at the end of the day she had the choice of not playing along.Originally Posted by AntiThesis
This is true
However, we still don't really know whether Zuma raped the lady or not. All the judgement (and the judge even said so) showed was that there was simply not enough of a case (or evidence) to support a Guilty verdict.
Kinda a case of "boy who cried wolf".
Personally, I thought the judge was very good at handling a very, very tough situation and came off with flying colours. Well, except for the weird bit of poetry ^_^
But you still don't believe the judgement.Originally Posted by AntiThesis

Wasn't the judgement that there was not enough solid evidence to convict?Originally Posted by Angelo
This whole thing is supposed to be private.
It was ethically wrong to make a spectical of it to begin with.
When the accused is (was) likely to be the next President of this country, an excellent argument could be made for this being in the public interestOriginally Posted by stoke
Agreed, but when the accused is someone of the likes of Jacob Zuma the media are going to have a field day. Even if a gag were put on the press in this country, SA courts do not have the power to silence the news sites on the Internet.Originally Posted by stoke

The judgement was "not guilty".Originally Posted by icyrus
Its a bit more complicated than that.Originally Posted by Angelo
Well as much as you would like to dwell on the matter the case is closed andOriginally Posted by icyrus
the accuser is not appealing.
I'm now officially ignoring any thread that has anything to do with (insert political party here), Zuma, Farms. This is getting really stale, really fast
Procrastination is like masturbation. It may feel good at first, but when you look at the task at hand, you're actually screwing yourself.
So why are you posting the threads then??! And the other one!!Well as much as you would like to dwell on the matter the case is closed and the accuser is not appealing.
Yes he showed great humility which is rare of leaders and that won him a lot of new support from neutral observers = Why not show humility from the beginning - Pig - who does he think he is? = Don't make assumptions based on your own biased opinion = SA's world credibility just sunk 100+ points = A great day for SA
