    The zuma and gupta saga always infuriates me. It shows how the legal system and loyal south africans tried time and again to protect the country, but corruption and greedy politicians hamstrung every effort. The Scorpions had flaws, but between them and the Public Protector we at least had SOMETHING to have faith in for a while. No longer
    Oh, and a shout out to our media at the time. They fought, exposed and investigated a lot of this nonsense so well. To no avail, but they did their duty.

    I do appreciate how thorough the coverage of the subject matter is (some pronunciation issues aside).

      Holy Spirit Can give you peace guidance and purpose and the Lord will
      John 3:16-21
      16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
      Mark 1.15
      15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
      2 Peter 3:9
      The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
      Hebrews 11:6
      6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
      Jesus

    As an American who married into a pure Dutch family with both sets of her grand parents as first generation immigrants to the U.S.A. this does not surprise me at all. First thing they do is take a debacle and make it worse. We need Jacob Zuma to take over Orange City, Iowa and they would be better off for it. -Still married, an Iowan.
