all to free zurma the former leader there . seems to me the world is now more turbulent then ever before
If you know any from South Africa arrange an evening out as its is quite a story , you will need plenty of alcohol to numb the reality of the situation ,corruption from top to bottom .
I have seen at least three major pieces about this on Sky/BBC news in the last few days - and also a fair bit of coverage on online major news sites. So much more than a peep. Although most international news stories have been relegated by blanket coverage of Team England - the build up, the event and the aftermath.Quote:

You know, I may be sticking my neck out here but my guess is the people you know from South Africa wouldn't pass your "Naturally-born" South African test!Quote:

In a land where unemployment and poverty levels are so high history suggests that opportunists will use this to go burning and looting.
I'm sure if Bibi or Donald go down it will be down to dark forces though!
Well sadly they were two young ladies stopped by police for no reason on a lonely road in their just outside Joburg , asked to get out and only allowed to proceed once they had handed over their cash .Quote:

Do you ever read back your dog whistle rants before you post them? I am trying to piece together your word salad but haven't got a scooby about what sexual mutations have to do with the subject matter. You reached a conclusion that South Africa is corrupt from top to bottom based upon this unpleasant incident. Zuma was a scumbag and the current government is making strong efforts to address the scandalous nature of his rule.Quote:

What with rioting in Cuba the last week , the yellow vest mob getting together across France the last few days , protests in Greece , Ireland and Iran amongst others seems like everything is not too well in the world !
121 Deaths is nothing in that country , where a child going missing every five hours , last year 1,200 unidentified bodies lay in Gauteng's state morgue .Quote:
