If Zuma won’t go, the nation must push him

President Jacob Zuma has turned our country into the laughing stock of other nations. He keeps shuffling and reshufflin­g Cabinet ministers like cards. But he plays his cards close to his chest so his opponents may not see his corrupt activities.

He replaced Pravin Gordhan with Malusi Gigaba as the new minister of finance. What a risky decision! How can Gigaba manage to come up with a viable national budget when he failed to manage the infiltrati­on by illegal foreigners.

I think the recent Cabinet reshufflin­g is the last straw in Zuma’s failure as leader of the country. This man is giving the last kicks of a dying horse.

Listen here Mr President, there is a finger writing on the wall, Mene mene tekel! The days of your leadership have come to an end! Rather pack and bow out before the nation hurls you out of office.

Thanks for turning our country into a banana republic where foreign nationals are given better treatment than the citizens.

Thanks for allowing foreign nationals to bring loads of drugs onto our shores to pump craziness into our children’s heads.

As a nation, we bid you farewell, but we shall surely not miss you. Go and enjoy your pension, Mr President. Go and look after your cattle and milk cows for your grandchild­ren.

We shall not rest until Zuma steps down from his leadership position. If he will not step down, the nation must help him step down.
