[QUOTE]CAPE TOWN, South Africa — With the death of Nelson Mandela, the political party and broad coalition he helped to bind together are coming apart at the seams.

The African National Congress remains in power, holding nearly two-thirds of the seats in Parliament, but it is losing popularity even among its staunchest supporters. To many South Africans, the [I]ANC looks less and less like a party of legendary anti-apartheid leaders and more like a grouping of crony capitalists and dispensers of patronage.[/I]

Many businesses are unhappy with the premium the government places on “black economic empowerment,” while the powerful unions want higher wages. The economy remains sluggish; about half of young adults cannot find jobs.

Above all, people are angry at President Jacob Zuma, who is embroiled in a controversy over the spending of $20 million on his personal home in Nkandla to add security upgrades, a swimming pool and room for his four wives and the 20 children he has fathered with six women.[/QUOTE]

Rape rose literally over 200 percent since they got into power.

I sincerely hope you are making a terrible joke.

Good - Zuma is an anti-white racist that had expatriate white south african's worried for their family; there was widespread fears he would encourage a massacre after the death of Mandela.

Is that a rise in reported rapes?

Zuma's rape tally also rose by 200% since they got into power

Oh man. He was charged with rape then pardoned.

And rightly so, they're a joke. The ministers and people in higher positions are getting comfortable, so is Zuma with his nice ZAR 200m home, which we paid for. They've realised that the general public are getting sick of their shit, so now they're just trying to get their last few millions out before the elections come.

Hopefully they replace him with someone with the nation's best interests in mind.
