President Jacob Zuma apologizes to the nation

Too little too late. He has made South Africa a laughing stock internationally.

Mr. President: Our country's image has been severely tarnished because of your miscalculative acts. I am afraid that a lot of things are at stake here, and I will ask you today to be brave enough and step down. If you truely love this country, this is where you have to make a genuine recorrections. And please make sure that you also make apology to the Zulu nation. Thank you very much, and God bless the RSA

If the ANC is to continue to be regarded as a serious political institution, the world would not be as surprised, if they recall Zuma as they recalled Thabo Mbeki! This is a disgrace to the nation and Africa as a whole. No amount of apologies will do any good to the damage that this man continues to inflict on South Africa!

Well done Mr President, I shall vote for you again during the next election.

He needs to do a noble thing to resign. He is an embarrassment to the nation. We who are not in South Africa feel we cannot protect him any longer. I feel sorry for those who voted for him.

JZ possess no good character and should have known better through his twelve men team of spin doctors

It is pointless to apologise now. He did it knowingly! He is a public figure and where does moral regeneration fit into this? How many times do you plan to apologise?

We have heard enough! Father of the nation...

This is the perfect time for me to show my loyalty to JZ. All those who support him end up having good positions in government. He messes up and more people get promotions for supporting him. I am no Zulu but remember me president. By the way what do we call a person who makes the same mistake time and time again... a moron.

It is clear that the ANC president displays patriachial tendences that are hidden under the banner of culture even though as a person who is holding the highest office in the land (which in its policies preaches women equality), in my view this is more lip service. He uses this policy to exploit women and subject them into sex objects. If the people that hold public office do not practice what they preach how can they convince the general public about issues of moral regeneration, gender equality etc? The act displayed by our president is just the tip of iceberg which is just an indication of how our communities are. It is good that this came to the public domain so that the whole world should know that we as South African leaders who uphold public office do not have high moral fibre.

Mr Zuma, I appreciate the fact that you're not hiding your issues in the closet and you take responsibility of your action unlike some of our leaders and brothers who pretend to have clean linen in their closets. As a citizen of South Africa, I accept your apology just for the fact that you humble yourself and uttered those words. We hope that some of our brothers and sisters would learn to put their political and personal feelings about a person and appreciate him for what he is. Please brothers and sisters, consider Mr President's peformance and the changes he is bringing to the country at large. Most of all, remember he is also human like everbody else, if we can turn around and look at ourselves, we will find that we all have downfalls in life and imagine how you will feel when you're down there and somebody shuts you down. Please people, the apology is more than anything and it definitely needs our consideration as South Africans. I personally accept your apology Mr President.
