LMAO....i don't know how this guy does it. Run a country, manage a bunch of nagging wives, and still find a way to have enough energy to satisfy all of 'em.

That guy must have the patent on the cocktail of Viagara, Speed, and Xanax If he's doing it on natural abilities without drugs, he must be Superhuman or something.

Not to mention fending off corruption charges, defending himself on a rape charge, fathering a "love child," wrestling with various factions within the government such as the IKF, meddling in other countries affairs and a whole host of other things. This guy is quite a character!

And, he's done it all with no formal education.

You're making a lot of assumptions there.

That's the point. South Africa will crumble once Mandela dies it's inevitable.
African leadership with a few exceptions is a disgrace and a joke and Zuma is one of the biggest jokes.

Yet somehow the South African economy is growing faster than the United State's economy. In fact despite all that "crappy" African leadership the following countries on the continent have higher growth rates than the United States:

Ghana
Eritrea
Ethiopia
Mozambique
Equatorial Guinea
Rwanda
Liberia
Nigeria
Zambia
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Uganda
Botswana
Tanzania
Cape Verde
Gabon
The Gambia
Niger
Kenya
Mali
Lesotho
Sierra Leone
Republic of the Congo

And that list is just the countries with 5% or better GDP growth rates.

And yes there is significant poverty and political strife in Africa but the long term outlook is extremely positive. In Africa the middle class is EXPANDING while it is shrinking here in the United States.

The African continent presents one of the best investing opportunities in the world right now. Most Americans are either too stupid, racist, arrogant or ignorant to realize it.

There is also a rampant case of White Genocide that is being carried out in South Africa. Whites are being brutally and savagely attacked and killed by black Africans. Whites are called Boers there.

And to think the reason they are growing so well is because of less regulation and exploitation of their resources... so what are you going on about? Sounds not smart to me... since obviously you don't like going that route...

Incorrect, you are talking about the claim of genocide against white farmers, particularly white Afrikaans farmers. That is a hotly contested topic. Since independence in 1994, 3,000 white farmers have been murdered, people considered to be soft targets due to the isolated nature of the farms. In the same time frame 324,000 people of other races/cultures have been murdered. Not a justification for murder at all, but many of these farmers don't exactly have the best tracks record for treating their black farm workers well.

Incorrect. White Afrikaans farmers are referred to as Boers. By far the majority of whites, regardless of home language, living in South Africa refer to themselves as just South Africans.

And what do those Afrikaners you cite call blacks? Isn't it "Kafir"?

I'll use this one country as an example, and ask, "What the h3ll are you talking about?" Most of its 20+ million people cannot even find clean water to drink. Over one-fourth of the population lives on less than $2.00 per day, and they have a 75% youth unemployment rate.


Gee Wally, I wanna move there RIGHT NOW!
