He may be the most controversial figure in African politics — a skirt-chasing, self-described "Zulu Boy" shrouded by accusations of corruption and rape who marches to a catchy tune called "Bring Me My Machine Gun."
South Africa, meet your next president. ...
Zuma has an estimated 20 children by six different women. His eldest wife, Sizakele Khumao, has renounced her "first lady" status in favor of his new 33-year-old wife.
A former wife, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, is South Africa's foreign minister and a potential political rival. Another wife killed herself in 2000. ...
During his rape trial, Zuma took a "short skirt" excuse, claiming it was his duty as a Zulu warrior to have sex with a woman if she wore a short kanga (an African wrap), and that he could not leave her "unfulfilled."
Zuma told the court that he knew the woman was "clearly aroused" by the fact that her kanga was "quite short" — meaning knee-length.
"In the Zulu culture, you cannot just leave a woman if she is ready," he explained.
According to his defense team, Zulu men have sexual primacy over women. Therefore, he could not be guilty.
"To deny her sex, that would have been tantamount to rape," Zuma claimed. ...
Zuma has signaled his intent to "Africanize" the country, and there rumors he plans to seize some white-owned South African farms.

Maybe Clinton WAS our first African-American president...
Sad to see but as the guy says, he wants to Africanize South Africa. Zimbabwe is leading the way. Looks like SA won’t be too far behind.
Exactly right. South Africa will be swirling down that same toilet within three years.
I bet he’d trade me ten slaves for a keg of rum just like his ancestors did, or mineral rights to the country for a couple nice Whores. If he hasn’t already traded these off in advance to the French.
I’d like to say there goes the neighborhood, but, South Africa was the only place left that Africans could point to and say “see we’re not total failures!” now If South Africa goes back to law of the jungle the whole dark continent will be in a modern day dark age. If I were black, the whole continent of Africa would be a big embarrassment. Another fifteen years and the place will be ready to be colonized again. I get Rhodesia!
Paging Peter Gabriel...
Progress is not always progress. Perhaps the tribes are returning to the way of life before European incursion, and perhaps it’s a better system for a continent like Africa, which cannot sustain the population it has.
Be prepared, however, for scenes of unbelievable bloodletting which will make Darfur and southern Sudan, even Rwanda, look like a cakewalk.
I’d expect more to see tribal violence and an accomodation between the Zulu and the whites.
I didn’t think it was possible to trade DOWN from apartheid, but they’ve pulled it off.
A face like that, Maybe he needs some bran in his diet.
I should would unclog his head. Taking a shower to wash off HIV? This is why HIV is so high in Africa. No one in power takes it seriously.
He wants to be the next leader of a country like Zimbabwe, just do what you will say you will and you will get your wish, JZ. Then just blame the west, and your set.
Wasn’t that Jean Luc with the Thompson?
“which cannot sustain the population it has”
Could be, but I imagine the same could have been said for the American West (or all of America at some point in time perhaps when first viewed by England).
In looking at pictures of Zimbabwe there are beautiful forests with waterfalls, etc. I would think that if the culture was such that they could have a civilized nation they could develop those natural resources (along with oil, diamonds, etc.) and make some money and develop things further (water wells, desalinization plants, etc.).
But, I guess they would rather have any vestigages of the white imperialist pigs gone and instead be masters of their own pitiful domains and then have to fight over the scraps ala Zimbabwe style. It is too bad that the tribal culture and hatred is so stong. I know some folks from S. Africa that would love to go back but that will never happen now.
yes
Are we sure he isn't from Camden NJ?
Africa can sustain high populations. But post-colonial Africa, with endemic Marxism and nu-Apartheid, is a death trap.
They need the British back. Even the French would do.
