I am constantly amazed by loyalty/stupidity of some of the people here in SA. Our leading political party is the ANC of which the vice president Jacob Zuma is charged with corruption (ok fine, a politician no surprise) then this week charged with rape (a crime I think should get life after castration). Now personally I don’t think this is a guy I want in charge of a high school lemonade stand never mind a good portion of the control of a country. So the ANC has dropped his power and is vice president in name only (until conviction) however there is a group called the ANC Youth League who actually still “back him 100%” and still think of him as the next president. I mean come on, seriously people…. Am I missing something? I know…I know innocent until proven guilty, but I think anyone who knows the Shaik trial knows the first charge is accurate and as for the second more serious one he has admitted he did have sex with the victim but of course says it was consensual, however no lawyer or police commissioner is going to make such an accusation without some substantial evidence to back it up. In all fairness I shouldn’t judge the guy till the court has seen all the facts, but after all is said and done a man who has been legally accused and charged of such crimes should not be in political office.

Yep it is hard to understand and yes I think that he should not be in office either, whether guilty or not because these things always come from somewhere so there is at least a sniff in it all.
hiya, stopping by through BE and wanted to make a totally off-topic comment. your site is beautiful, i love the design. my one comment would be that at the top, where it says "martijn vreugde's piece of the net" it is quite impossible to read it without highlighting it with the mouse. you might move it or lighten the text or something.
seriously, love your work here. just wanted to make a suggestion!
