SA Not Violent : Zuma

[JonnStar]

How the man receives any respect never mind the capacity to open his mouth in public and be acknowledged at all is beyond me.

This is how I view him and the entire ANC. Sadly they are my supposed leaders and also the weak and useless backbone of this country. We freely allow these clowns to govern the lives of 50 million odd people. What a fantastic bloody joke.

South Africa is not gonna make it.

Sometimes you need to be realistic.

Years of land deprivation, reinforced by land dispossession laws, had deprived generations of people of the skills necessary to survive from agriculture.

"People who had been proud farmers were now forced to work [for others] after being dispossessed of their land, livestock and equipment. Working on the farms was thus turned into a form of slavery."

The outcome of this state of affairs over generations was that the youth had developed a grim view of agriculture. Those living in rural areas aspired to move out of the villages as soon as they could

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Southern African Bantu-speaking peoples were never that big on farming, were they, especially not in the way he's painting it? Some cattle which the tribes followed semi-nomadically, some gathering, but nothing that seems to fall under the word agriculture or the phrase "proud farmers" is the impression I get.

equipment

What equipment? A knobkierrie?

Happens everywhere.

South Africa is not a violent country, but there are "elements" that conduct themselves in a shocking manner, President Jacob Zuma said on Thursday.

Addressing the National House of Traditional Leaders at Parliament, he warned against those who would "rubbish our country without realising".

And some of those who behave in a shocking manner are in the house he addressed. Those who wish for or supported the traditional leaders bill.

What happens if someone steal the cables and a train is late?
We burn trains.

What happens if we strike for some demands? We intimidate the people that do want to work. We attack the police and other innocent bystanders or vehicles, property, etc.

We rape babies and murder babies, kids and women like it is a national sport. I read thIs morning that a 4 month old baby was sprayed with pepper spray during a robbery.

We have our old age citizens kicked to death.

We have gangs that rule areas. We have our Police that at times just as quilty of criminal activities as the worst criminal in our correctional facilities.

Politicians are taking contracts on each other if the news media is to believed.

It is cool to take video while school kids are fighting.

Kids as young as 9 are murderes.
Kids stab each other with knives in school.

We blow ATM to kingdom come for cash.

When we are unhappy with a Head Master we burn the school and damage every car in the area.

When we are unhappy with the munucipality, we rob the liquor store.

I'm not saying that is not happening anywhere else in the world, but don't tell me that SA is not a violent country.

Next you will tell me SA is not rife with corrution either.

And don't forget, we all killed Burry as well.

JZ is just trying to placate investors by lying through his teeth, as he does most of the time.

He can only be placating the dumb investors.

What investors would want to sink capital into this place? I can't think of any. But I pretty sure that there are plenty that will come and make a quick buck, strip us of some resources for a hand full of dollars.

This place could be sorted out but there just isn't any political will.

In my view, JZ washed away HIV before. Its possible that SA is not violent country. Perhaps he does not look at all the headlines in our newspapers everyday

He's not fooling them. Rand at a 4 year low this morning.
Well done, mr president. We're going to get ****ed in the ass by the petrol price again next month.

Nkandla - R230 000 000 for security in a peaceful non violent country is the a bit excessive is it not.

Zuma quit while you're ahead in the gravy.

From Wiki:

Crime is a prominent issue in South Africa. South Africa has a very high rate of murders, assaults, rapes (adult, child and infant), and other crimes compared to most countries. Most emigrants from South Africa state that crime was a big factor in their decision to leave.[1] The South African Police Service is responsible for managing 1115 police stations across South Africa.[2]

The incidence of rape has led to the country being referred to as the "rape capital of the world"


and also let us not forget the controversial...

 

[Recruitsmiths]

Haha...this reminds me of a classic reply by a firearm applicant (he was before me); at Kempton Park police station - we were renewing our firearm licenses & the interviewing officer asked him: "Why do you need a firearm?"
His reply;-" Don't you watch TV or read the newspapers?" In reference to ongoing crime.....

Most South Africans are NOT violent, I agree with Zuma - the minority that is violent can be extremely violent though, and there are too many of them. I would agree though, that as a whole, South Africa, in general, is not a violent country.

By that theory then no country on earth is violent. All countries are safe, peaceful havens.

Except for Australia, which was one big prison from the start.

Every Aussie is basically a relative of a convict.
