All 783 corruption charges against him withdrawn by a de-fanged National Prosecuting Authority before the court case could even begin, soon-to-be South African President Jacob Zuma:
Maintaining a posture of sneering, laconic cynicism just doesn’t do it for me anymore. I’m not in the mood to deconstruct the message, or interrogate the fricking subtext, or expose the hidden agenda of the publisher of the message. Academics have always been useless in the face of thuggery. We’re heading towards an epic fuckup and we’re too civilized to stop it.
Africa says:
I cant felt but also foresee many problems for south africa.
The law is there for everyone, not a select few. Its a pity that political powers can alter that!

Thank you for your comment. To be honest, I think that Might Makes Right everywhere, including industrialised nations. It’s just that in South Africa, we’re suddenly waking up to the fact that the mighty are no longer bothering with disguising their real intentions. Just too lazy to keep donning sheep’s clothing every morning when they get up, I guess

I wonder what international press/media will think of this?! Just like, Italian Berlusconi, our president omits all charges.
