A New Chapter for South Africa

Jacob Zuma was recently inaugurated as the new President of South Africa, I have to be the first to admit that until recently I wasn’t a big fan of the man. Nothing to do with the recent court cases, I had lost support and admiration of anything old (or should i say from the Old School) in African politics as it always results in one thing.
As all Politicians do he has come heavily laden with promises, but what I admired about Mr Zuma is his looking further than his domestic policy as a start and amongst others relaxing immigration laws to allow Zimbabweans more of a free passage allowing them in and out of his country enabling them to work and sustain a living. Hopefully this will benefit both economies and bring an end to human trafficing between the two nations and the ill treatment of Zimbabweans south of the Limpopo.

Besides the smiles, hugs and kisses at his inauguration we all know that Mr Zuma is no fan of the Zimbabwean President and has been openly critical of him and we hope he keeps it that way as Thabo Mbeki only made things worse for Zimbabweans (dont get me started on Mr. Mbeki, previous posts are detailed enough).

Good Luck to Mr Zuma I hope you will do good for those who gave that job and turnout like some African Leaders. The people of  South Africa all over the world (yes even those overseas and neighbouring countries were allowed to vote) democratically chose their leader if only this happened in all African countries Africa will be a much better place.
