@David – great to see some other positive South Africans! To think how far this country has come in 12 years – we have grown enormously – and there are bound to be a few hiccups along the way, but generally, the curve of growth is on a permanent upward direction here in SA!

Jason I am with you. Slowly but surely my eyes have opened with regards to Mbeki and his peers.

At the end of the day we have to respect the judgments in Zuma’s cases and if you look at it like that then he is not a rapist or corrupt (yeah right…). I personally believe that the majority of people who are in power are in some way corrupt but all you have to do is look over the pond to Mr Bush to see that we are not so bad.

So on my side there is a bit of excitement about the future and what it holds. I ain’t moving anywhere, lets see what happens. SA aint that bad and it seems that our democracy is still intact.

Good bye Mr. Mbeki. Bring on Zuma.

@Matt, as I said, Zuma’s track record isn’t great – but I think a lot of his supporters have given up on Mbeki and thus the almost hostile approach we are seeing from them. I do think it will die down as things start settling in our country and especially after the elections in April.

So, all I’m saying is lets hope and pray it will go well!

Definitely trying to stay positive. The only problem is when you look at the credentials of the guys coming in now it is flippin’ scary. Rape, corruption, showers, “Kill for Zuma” etc etc. I wasn’t a Mbeki fan, but I would prefer him over Zuma any day.
