Cape Town - Jacob Zuma, deputy leader of the African National Congress, said on Tuesday he would accept nomination for the presidency of the ruling party even if charged with corruption.

"We have a constitution in this country that says, whether charged or not charged, you remain innocent until found guilty," said Zuma, the subject of a lengthy graft probe which has seen his former financial adviser jailed.

"Why should I find myself guilty when I have not been found by any court to be guilty?

"Why should I believe I've committed a crime when I've never committed a crime?

And this after all his "campaigning" for president but denying wanting to be president :rolleyes:

I don't think he's ever denied wanting to be president: He has always said he'd accept whatever mandate the ANC gave him which of course can be the presindency.
 
if only i could move overseas in a heartbeat, i would have been gone Long LONG ago!.

No I think he'll probably follow a similar pattern to Mugabe. He'll be fairly moderate for the first few years while he settles into power and loots the treasury, only later will he reveal his true agenda.
 
guys if zuma becomes president the afri's better run for their lives

following slowly behind them will be the whites lol

zimbabwe hear we come
 
If a British official steals 10 pounds he is removed from office. If one of our officials does he gets promoted to become someone else's problem.
I am willing to assume Zuma is completely innocent, the rest of the international community will not and it will have repercussions for the whole continent.

If there is smoke, there is a fire.

A chartered accountant would never live down what Zuma allegedly did, why should the president not uphold the same code of ethics?

Zuma was removed from an office of trust, he can not serve on a board of directors, how can he run a whole country if he is unable to legally run a company? Companies Act.

Trevor Manuel for president!

I call on everyone in this forum, to edit their signatures to read:

"Trevor Manuel for president 2009"

He is the only ANC candidate who can win. I use the word can because anyone else would not be as competent and without him South-Africa has no hope. If I can chose between the ANC under him, or the DA, the ANC will get my vote. Trevor Manual might be the only hope of a reconciled South-Africa. Trevor Manual has proven himself.

Lately we have complained often about the state of things and how we have no vote in how this country is run, as the minority..

I was once asked to join the ANC, I instantly replied there is no way, I explained my opinion about the ANC, the man answered me and said: "Join the ANC and change it from the inside, the DA does not have a fighting chance and will be ignored forever".

We will change the ANC from the inside.

Comrade Jacob needs a bigger shower in his house.

Like he said, only taking a shower after sex, prevents the spreading of HIV/AIDS.

Can we let such a moron become president of South Africa????
