Zuma can’t fool everyone indefinite­ly

-

MANY of Jacob Zuma’s actions have caused South Africans alarm, but we should also study his utterances as these show he has a tenuous grasp of reality.

The senior leadership should also call a meeting of political parties to formulate a real transforma­tion programme: all corruption and cronyism rooted out, with no benefits any more for leeches and parasites. Land in arid, degraded, drought-stricken or abandoned areas must be bought and leased for 49 years at a time or sold on reasonable terms to any farmer of whatever colour to farm and develop. All farmers, big and small, should be assisted with the latest agricultur­al technologi­es to enable them to earn a good living even on a tiny parcel of land.
