Another of JZ's bids turned down

On the 7 o'clock news .. the constitutional court turned down old cant keep his  c...k in his zipper  and hands out of others pockets Jacob Zuma's attempt  to have the actions of the scorppions  declared unconstituional ..  I am very very happy .. that man and his illeterate  and brainless crowd  of supporters are a danger to manknd at large .. I  dearest hope is that his court case which starts on the 4th finds him indeed guilty which would mean he's removed from the political scene ( but then in this crazy country ?? who knows )  I wonder how his legal team sleep at night .. ???  with such an overwhelming amount of smoke indicating that there is indeed a huge fire beneath all the  crap and legal  dodging ... they must in their hearts  that he is indeed  corrupt and a person of low moral standards ???  lets pray the legal system works ..

The sad thing is...... due to the courts taking soooo long with cases, this man will be sworn in as president, then go to court, and mark my words, those narrow minded uneducated masses, are gonna protest and get violent , irrespective of how guilty this guy is.... thats why there is no democracy in Africa, coz the uneducated masses get told who to vote for.......

I agree with you Sandy, What I like is it is also getting International recognision. But can be very interesting how the whole saga pans out. Justice will be Justice!!!

Sad part is one  must just see the so called " educated "  members of the ANC .. muttering and saying .. hes being  persecuted not prosecuted .. seems the concourt and the judicary are fine so long as they  say what they  deem  to be right  or to bring down some  old " apartheid criminal "  .. not  what is actually right  that is  that the man to all appearances has an overwhelming amount of evidence stacked up against him .. In the  words of my Mom  when people  spoke a load of unjustigeid crap "  I just want  to tie them in a chair and knock some common  sense  into them with a big plank "

It's easier for them to toe the line and shut up, not to talk out against JZ, in their own interest........ kinda like Hitler all over again,. a'la Africa style.....

Right now I imagine my Moms spinning around in her memorial rose garden .. seeing all thats going on ..

Mind you, I saw a program on BBC the other night about a company called Halliburton and the Bush connections through it with Iraq, and the corruption involved is enormous.,.... and there is a federal gag order in place in the states, so nobody can do anything about it....Corruption of the highest order.....in a first world state, what about Siemens in Germany?

Human Nature, Black or White I guess....

Read an article in the papers the other day that supporters of JZ said that he will be President even if he has to rule the country from a jail cell. Sends chills down the spine. Scary stuff.

When I refered to my Mom churning up her  memorial rose garden ..  part  of  the story ...
After my dad passed  away Mom had at a relatively young age of 55 a second stab at life ..  a rekindling of a romance that led to marriage .. an opportunity to review her life .. and to  choose a new angle of approach .. she opted to become part of the "struggle "  and  why not  ?? ..  3/4 of UCT where doing it so why could she not do it in her granted " second teenage " ??  it was her  God given right ,, she had raised a family and was now a free agent ?? not that it did not have a cost .. she was ostracised for many years by closest family  .. barring me and  my sis in law and a few good friends that stood by her ..  she suffered a lot of personal pain  for her choice .. BUT yes  I believe  she was right in her choice .. she had a new life  with purpose  ,adventure  and JOY ...  the previous " regime " was as oppressive as  where the new one is headed .. she put her personal safety at risk  vis , she could have been arrested at any time for breaking the then  laws , me too for being there in the midddle of it .. our phones were tapped  etc  and yes we were " watched '   she lost her shoes  and   nearly her life  in the demonstration of the purple rain in the 80's but remained resolute .. all the while i stood by her giving common sense cos when one is immersed in fighting injustice ones views get slanted .. i was her mirror .. for that she appreciated me ..  I have been told that  in so many unsaid ways ...
Without going into too much detail ..  Mother  and Eddie who had spent 15 years on robben eiland for his activities believed that there would exist after 1994  an equal and equitable society  with a place in the sun for all .. well that dream  my Mom saw crumbling before her demise .. and Eddie has painfully seen since his surviving her .. he is avoided by all barring the old man Madiba  and a few of the honourable old stalwarts  who he still has  contact with ..  He wont in too many words describe his disgust at the free for all he sees but  I see and sense it ... now  we have presidents that will rule from their jail cells ???
