I believe it is just a matter of time before South Africa goes the way of the rest of so many African countries. It is well on its way already: corruption, enrichment of government officials, quotas that choke its very economic system, deterioration of infrastructure as under-qualified candidates fill quota positions, street poverty amongst whites and blacks, massive crime, AIDS, massive migration from bankrupt countries such as Zimbabwe.

A huge problem for Zuma. Give him a break. He's only been in office for two months.
