Show some respect! After all he is the president. I do not like him either but that does not mean I must behave like a jerk.

Respect is earned. Zuma has earned absolutely nothing.

I took that to mean that king Zumatello has been reading people's comments which set off alarms in the presidency, I should have known that he is an offspring breeder and not a reader.
 
I'm no fan of Zuma, but jokes aside, I would love to know how Calland knows this, or what criteria/investigative reasoning he uses to arrive at this conclusion. It sounds like he woke up one morning and pulled a plum outta his ...
 
"It's not that he can't read, it's that he doesn't read and he doesn't read the proper stuff; he doesn't read Cabinet briefs, he doesn't read stuff that is the meat and drink of modern, sophisticated government,"

:sick: :wtf: What the hell is he reading if its not all the proper stuff?! Bed time stories??
 
"It is not easy for one to have such disrespect of our president.

Seems pretty easy to me.

The truth is we have a leader who encourages that... and who is, in many ways, the embodiment of anti-intellectualism."

Well that's something that would make him a viable candidate in a number of western countries.

Just means he has to work that much harder to earn our respect.

They do not express alarm about the rate of crime, the state of service delivery or the attacks on the justice system ...............

Priorities?

Being criminal is their priority.
 
MacM's comment is the epitomy of spin. Lots of words but 0% meaning

He wrote the book the Zuma Years and mentioned this in there as well - herein lies the problem - it was in a book. The presidency did not react then......
 
There was a terribly racist comment made that circulated the internet to the effect that if you want to hide something from a black person, put it in a book. This is most definitely not the case.

I know white people who would a 100 times over watch mindless drivel on tv or do whatever else, than read a book.

The example Calland gave of Mbeki also negates this stereotype.

It isn't about whether Zumatello does read a book, it's about whether he can read a book. Not just the lips moving, is there comprehension?

Funny how all the ANC does when it comes to our president is cover his ***** the whole time. Always on the back foot trying to explain and or defend something he did or did not do.

For me personally this just reinforces the fact that he is worth **** as a 'leader'. If the nation, in general, can only come up with negative comments, whether true or not, it only goes to show what they think of him as a leader.
