South Africans should stop talking their country and its economy down, President Jacob Zuma said on Thursday.

Speaking at a Human Rights Day commemoration ceremony in Mbekweni township, near Paarl in the Western Cape, he told his audience: "We need to take a more balanced view of our country".

I say this almost on a daily basis. People are just too negative.

It would help if they lead by example.

Nothing wrong with our country.

Our leaders, however...

Zuma and his cronies should stop taking this country and its economy down.

I'm emigrating to South Africa from Scotland in about a month and have been able to see through all the negativity that people keep telling me. Looking forward to life in South Africa and all the positives that the country has to offer.

Well, if they would stop corruption sucking the life out of the economy, we might have something to be positive about ...

Then stop dragging it down, you asshat.

Offer them haggis! That'll make them run fa' and awa!

But, the problem is that those who allegedly "talks the country down" is in fact right. They are seeing the truth around them as it happens. They are not negative, they are not bringing the country down - in fact the ANC government is doing that and they rely on people not speaking or reporting on it.

In this case it is a ***** shovel

You seem to really like haggis!

Zuma is taking it down with his comrades, they are doing it all on their own.

Don't close doors and burn bridges. I feel confident that when you see the real South Africa you will realise that the people you've been speaking to are realists. I hope I'm wrong, but as someone who came back to SA in 2004 after 5 years in the UK, I have some regrets about my decision.
