Zuma must be the one to leave

- Cliff Buchler

Why the on-going emigration of born and bred South Africans to foreign countries whose history and lifestyle are far removed from theirs?

Our communitie­s enjoy a rich mix of colour, creed, culture and language. On the streets, workplace, homes and sports fields, this beautiful and intricate mosaic is reflected in the lives of law-abiding folk who seek a happy and safe environmen­t.

Not Zuma, his cronies and crime.

South Africa has some of the best climatic conditions in the world, free from cyclones and tornados experience­d by so many places abroad. The climate generally ranges from Mediterran­ean in the southweste­rn corner to temperate in the interior plateau, and subtropica­l in the northeast. A perfect place in which to live.

Except for Zuma, his cronies and crime.

Here, a plethora of religions peacefully co-exist, each preaching love and tolerance to a greater or lesser degree. But, unlike other countries, we don’t kill or rape in the name of religion. A paradise in the making.

Except for Zuma, his cronies and crime.

And what about our unique sense of humour? Like where in the world would you find a Cape coloured’s laughter lines? It’s stitched into the South African societal fabric – and we adore it.

Except for Zuma, his cronies and crime.

So how do we stop mass departures?

Simple. Get rid of Zuma, his cronies and crime in 2019.

Talking of Zuma, this one from Gatiep:

An American doctor says: “Medicine in my country is so advanced that we take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks.”

A British doctor: “We can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks.”

A Canadian doctor: “Our medicine is so advanced we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks.”

A South African doctor: “Neigh, we took a man with NO brain, made him president, and now the whole country is looking for work.”

He must leave!
