No one treated SA as badly as you, Zuma
Please allow me to respond to Jacob Zuma’s complaint that “no one has been treated as badly as me” (The Herald, February 20).
I put it to Mr Zuma that no country or its citizens have been treated as badly as Mr Zuma treated us!
However, it also needs to be pointed out that Mr Zuma was ably and enthusiastically assisted by the ANC who have, from day one, embarked on every possible fraudulent and corrupt scheme that they could think of, starting with the arms deal.
When next we have a chance to vote we need to remember that from 1994 we have had only one government, the ANC, so any, and all, trouble that SA finds itself in today is as a direct result of ANC actions (or inaction).
Pre-1994 there was no load-shedding and Escom/Eskom, SAA, the SABC and the like were all solvent.
Nelson Mandela once said: “We were so busy fighting for our freedom, we did not have time to learn good governance.” I would add that in 24 years you have still not managed to learn good governance.
Quite the opposite – you have become experts at corruption, robbery, theft fraud etc.
You took power and found troughs of money ripe and ready to be raided, and boy, raid them you did!
But now the troughs are getting empty and those pigeons are coming home to roost.
