Steyn: Heading South
2014-01-05
An excerpt:
Since the 1990s, life expectancy has fallen back to where it was in Smuts's day. South Africa is the murder capital of the world, with around 50 homicides every day. In a 2011 survey, one in three women claimed they had been raped in the past year. South Africa's current leader, Jacob Zuma, was accused of raping an HIV-positive woman, but replied that he took a shower afterwards to "minimize the risk of contracting the disease." This is one of the more rational self-administered treatments. It is widely believed among Mr. Zuma's compatriots that sex with a virgin will cure you of AIDS, which, virgins being somewhat thin on the ground, has led to an epidemic of child rape, including victims as young as eight months old.

#3  the 60s socialist anti-colonialist dogma.

And this is the theology of Zero and his ilk.
The only thing that may save us is the inertia of our country precludes sudden changes.

#2  Ah, yes, the fruits of the 60s socialist anti-colonialist dogma. It's not results that matter, it's feeling 'good' about yourself in sticking it to the man.

....but replied that he took a shower afterwards to "minimize the risk of contracting the disease."

Hence the Jacob 'Shower Head' Zuma moniker penned by the political cartoonist Zapiro.
