Article: SA going backwards under Zuma: Zille

South Africa is going backwards under President Jacob Zuma's leadership, Democratic Alliance leader Helen Zille said on Wednesday.

"Unfortunately, under Zuma there is corruption," she said.
 
Sometimes I think of replying thank you captain obvious but then I realize that some people still haven't figured it out.
 
The DA's strategy this election appears to be to attack Zuma. It is sounding a bit like the Stop Zuma campaign now.

Pity people didnt listen to her then and instead had the same benign criticism.

Can I recommend a Facebook DA feed to follow. You dont appear to follow any, and seem to have a distorted media view (thanks SABC).

This is my favorite feed, but there are many others. That way you wont just get your politics from 2nd hand media sources, you will actually get it directly from the political party. Its a lot more balanced :) You will see a lot that DA are doing, thats positive :)

Thing is Zuma is so attackable, there's nothing he does that doesn't go against the grain of all that's decent.

Pity about our voters thought, Zuma presents himself as the perfect anti-ANC target and in a more mature political system he would have been torn to pieces by the opposition. Instead we have commentors like you who still don't get it ..

There was actually about two weeks ago a good article on Daily Maverick, heavily criticizing the DA election campaign strategy to picture the presidencies of NM and TM as very successful, and only the last one of JZ as disastrous. I probably would only mean that the majority of traditional ANC supporters would only regard JZ as a temporary problem, and not make them aware how intensely rotten the whole organisation actually is. And the rot (corruption, cadre buddy-buddy mentality, gross inefficiency) already started under NM and TM. It just exploded under JZ.
A clear indication of what these typical family/tribal old emotional bonds of the ANC really are was last nights Interface program on SABC 3. Ronnie Kasrils and Essop Pahad were supposed to fiercely debate the No Vote or destroy your vote campaign of Kasrils and Matlala-Routledge and Essop Pahad reaction on that in a letter. It ended up basically Kasrils apologising to his old cadre, backslapping, almost hugging each other for this campaign against the total degradation of the ANC under Zuma. A rather unsavoury show of these semi-senile comrades.
Just like in Zim with the ZANU-PF, the ANC still has a lot of (emotional) support, especially in rural areas. It will still take a long time for other parties to win the hearts and minds of the masses.
 
Zuma sucks all the national energy which should be going into constructive nation-building, through his series of actions. I think his actions have tested the rule of law, wasted millions, prevented the locking up of thousands of corrupt leaders and officials, increased racial tensions etc etc. It is all about Zuma, for NOW, in the same way Inkatha was all about Buthelezi and Zanu all about Mugabe.

It can makes sense when you imagine that the destruction of national sovereignty is the intention.
 
I am not sure about the DA, other than slating Zuma, they don't really say much... Tell me why I should vote for you instead of telling me more about why I shouldn't vote for other people...
