What I find shocking about the article is not the alleged *Rape*, but the Shower issue.

For an ex-deputy President of SA to have taken a shower after having sex with a HIV-positive woman in the belief that this would in some way reduce the risk of him catching the disease is absolutly shocking.

This same guy at one time headed the South African government’s National Aids Council and the Moral Regeneration Campaign.

I am totally lost for words.I mean, in a country as big as SA, is this the best *Black* ANC can do?

Yes, you're right; in fact it was this moronic reasoning I was primarily responding to in selecting the title for this post. Such jaw-dropping stupidity from such a highly placed source is unnerving.

Words fail me.

Steve Edwards

How can anyone be so stupid?

LOL! Ga-ji, gak-sek, as we say back home :)

It's worth noting that Zuma's education only extended as far as primary school Standard 4 or Grade 6 level. He has received honourary doctorates but, well, to my mind those were awarded more for previous standing and not necessarily academic or technical ability.

The fact that, to my understanding, Thabo Mbeki has a Masters degree in economics and other smaller tertiary qualifications probably has a lot to do with his better stewardship of the nation. If Zuma was to have taken over as President I'm sure that the relative deterioration in the level of education of the president would have seen a similar sort of deterioration with the country.

Hopefully someone of similar stature to Cyril Ramaphosa or Tokyo Sexwale will instead be next in line.

Yes, Thabo Mbeki has a Masters degree in economics from the University of Sussex, which followed his undergraduate economics degree (by correspondence) at the University of London. He's quite an intelligent guy, and often underestimated.

Jacob Zuma on the other hand, as an idiot, and we are damn lucky that his political prospects have taken such a knock of late.

Yet we've come close. How can it be that a man that stupid almost became president?

the steve

he takes stupidity to all new levels. its pathetic.

Leave the man alone, He is now President. God has allowed it.Nothing on this earth happens without Gods approval.
No amount of words or deeds will change the situation.
In world history, there were many so-called educated Leaders who had and have a lousy reputation. They are still around, and who stops them! Ie.Mugabe?

I'm sure God is grateful that you've rushed to the defense of poor, little Jacob Zuma. How's a mere President of South Africa expected to defend himself in the face of the words of a mighty blogger?

If "God" has allowed Zuma's presidency, and nothing happens without the approval of "God", then I'm sure you appreciate that "God" has also approved my castigation of the corrupt, oversexed imbecile who has the fate of 45 million South Africans in his incompetent hands - yet strangely, for all your insistence on accepting the doings of "God", you don't seem very willing to simply accept the doings of "God" in my own case ...
