Eyebrow Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 It really amazed me seeing esp. the UK South Africans coming out in their thousands to vote! What an amazing sense of camaraderie it must have been!http://ewn.co.za/2014/04/30/Expats-voting-Voting-going-wellwww.news24.com/Elections/News/Voting-open-for-South-Africans-in-Europe-20140430 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadEnoughofJuju Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Am I the only one who is concerned about the fact that Zuma is running for a third term (against the constitution I might add).The President, elected by the National Assembly from among its members, is the executive Head of State and leads the Cabinet. The President may not serve more than two five-year terms in office.http://www.southafrica.info/about/government/gov.htm#.U2YPz70_7qA#ixzz30jynvcNZIf Zuma wins it will change the democracy into a dictatorship.

Erik Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Zuma has only served one term so far. It just seems so long, because he's done so much damage in that 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadEnoughofJuju Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Could of sworn it was 2 and you're right it does feel longer because of all the damage he's done. Oh well I guess I was wrong on that one. Still a dictatorship if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BriD Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I was also so sure he had already served 2 terms... you Def not alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadEnoughofJuju Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I think it may have been cleverly disguised when Thabo Mbeki stood down and that other idiot took over. Zuma only became president in the next elections which was 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronwyn&Co Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I quite liked Mbeki. His track record was pretty good in comparison to Zuma's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadEnoughofJuju Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 The only reason his track record was better was because he was a marionette, just hung around and danced to the tunes of his comrades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
