This picture shows page 1 and page 3 of the Business Day of 27 May 2015. Yesterday.
The article on page 1 is not attributed to any opposition political party, greedy privileged white owned industrialist, biased foreign ratings agency, or any other counter revolutionary. No, it is the national, statutory statistics bureau. Surely their job is to dig out the numbers that support the "good story".
The article on page 3 is clearly a pronouncement by our less than esteemed corruptor in chief. There is no doubt in my mind, in spite of the good that has been done in the last 21 years, that South Africa is more than troubled. It is my view that South Africa was troubled under Mbeki. I get a sense that Zuma has taken South Africa past a tipping point. I feel that he has wrought tremendous destruction to vital state institutions. I feel he has wrought tremendous destruction to what was good and worthwhile in the ANC so that it is impossible for any strongly principled member to climb to a position of authority or power within the party.
The definition above says "It hints that the person referred to is naïve, unaware of reality or deranged in holding such an optimistic belief."
You decide which of these you think fits Jacob Zuma.
