Damning Zuma WikiLeaks cable revealed

[waynegohl]

Whatever. The point is people are informed about covert crap even if they can’t do anything. It may impact election campaigns if huge tissues of lies have been told and are then exposed as BS.

whatever. people are informed every day about the wheelings and dealings of this present government and yet they people still trust them and vote for them.

I think that applies to more than just our government though, it apples to practically every government.

Wikileaks may become very important in the future South Africa where all inconvenient information will be suppressed !!!

You’re right of course. In fact, I think there will be so much covert SA crap that the government doesn’t want you to know about, that WikiLeaks won’t be able to handle it. I think we [SA] should start our own ‘whistle blowing’ site. Off shore so that government keep their grubby, interfering fingers out. It probably won’t make much difference to the corrupt, bling-crazed officials. Their crimes are transparent and there are never any consequences unless it’s promotion or bonuses.

So one person's word is now the law and convicts the president. Please man.

I am not saying he is innocent...

South Africa saw its largest growth economically under him.

Socially he made it a train wreck.

Mbeki was too preoccupied with his so called "African Renaissance" to deal with local issues properly

If you look under the surface you'll find that some of the issues have nothing to do with his innocence or guilt. It's a forum thing. The conservatives (for lack of a better term) on the forum have a tendency to behave like the religiots where the ANC or race issues are concerned...complete mules in their blindness to logic & reasonable persuasion.
