SA was happier under Mbeki: Lekota

[James]

Congress of the People leader Mosiuoa Lekota criticised President Jacob Zuma on Tuesday, saying the country was ruing the day former president Thabo Mbeki was forced out of office.

"South Africa today is less happy than when President Mbeki was driven out of office," he said in the debate on Zuma's state-of-the-nation address last week.

And petrol didn't cost a kidney, e-tolls were a myth and the tap water was drinkable.

Neither Mandela nor Mbeki were as corrupt or greedy as this fat twunt Zumarse. He is the epitome of everything that is wrong with the cANCer and guavamint.

And petrol didn't cost a kidney, e-tolls were a myth and the tap water was drinkable.

Yet people were still complaining, like they always have and always will be.

And the unions were shouting that if we devalued the Rand jobs would (magically) be created.

I dont think Mbeki was forced out he had his two terms.

There was a story on Carte Blanche 2 weeks ago. Basically our water system aren't maintained and people are stuck with orange water filled with worms

It smells and tastes like piss. Try leaving it to stand for a while in a glass and see.

Worms?

Complaining is good to a degree, it makes sure the people in power actually do the right thing! Of course that is if they give one iota of thought to the people.

 

[Ike_009]

Worms?

Is that what we are calling all those petitions people sign and that paperwork to protest?


Lol, thanks for the correction

True that man. To me there's just too much 'entitlement syndrome'. Its killing our country.

He was definitely forced out... The last + - year of his term Kgalema Motlanthe was president because they ousted Mbeki...

Really? I thought he ran his full term, but he was outsted as ANC president way early. Then was pretty much an outcast.

 

[Inn3rs3lf]

Well, to be honest, who wouldn't exude happiness, and joy when your president gave you ample laughs with his multi-coloured socks and what not.

 

[Crableg]

We could literally have a moulding apricot as our president and it would do a better job than Zuma

 

[Tom]

At least that way it wouldnt cost us anything....

 

[addam]

And we wouldn't have to endure painful speeches with. full stops in completely. the wrong places. (Christopher Walken style)

 

[Snare]

As with all men whom fall prey to corruption Zuma actually started off well. However lust for power and greed overcame him and thus things stand as they are now
