Our intelligence service is an important ingredient of the fight against crime but it is not up to standard.

To what extent must a president fail and be corrupt to be removed?

Well done to the delegates. They have proven once again that ANC leaders are not made by the SA media and ha’ters.

  Yep, they’re made by uneducated fools like you.

oh look, the evil Sangoma of corruption, Jacob Zuma, has been re-elected, ready to throw his bones and find more ways to fuck the poor people who voted for him right in the sphincter. Get your lube ready SA, the raping is not finished yet… just pretend like you enjoyed it so he doesn’t get mad.

On what grounds did Zuma and his supporters feel he deserved another term?

  On what grounds did Kgalema deserve to be president?
  - Wazza
    
    on the grounds that he is not a complete, incompetent, greedy, selfish, villain of a person and actually has some sense in his head. Certainly the lesser evil. JZ has been nothing but bad news for this nation’s development

Zuma se herverkiesing is nie goeie nuus vir Suid-Afrika nie!

So sad that Zuma-haters fail to see that their effort to discredit Zuma is going to fail dismally. God is on Zuma’s side. The sooner you the haters learn that your hatred of the man will not undo the blessings that God bestowed on Zuma, it will be the beginning of wisdom in your hatred-filled brains. Zuma has achieved what all of you put together won’t achieve. U’re wasting your time and energy on discrediting Zuma. A majority of ANC supporters of all races and creed rally behind Zuma. He is our President. Get this reality into your stupid heads. Congratulations to our Golden Six. We wish you well in your jobs.
