#jacobzuma — Public Fediverse posts

Jacob Zuma and his family, the Trumps of South Africa, continue their disgraceful history of corruption, grift and scapegoating, manipulating desperate, ignorant and stupid people. Deeply shameful day.

@juergen_hubert That is a terrifying idea. I know people who have met #JacobZuma, so that gives me an Epstein number of at most 3.

Jacob Zuma is referenced in newly released US DOJ files linked to Epstein correspondence during his 2010 UK state visit. Full timeline and context on Newz.Africa. #JacobZuma #EpsteinFiles #SouthAfricanPolitics #UKStateVisit #DOJFiles

This is a really in-depth article about what Trump's re-election means for #SouthAfrica. It also draws some pretty obvious parallels between #DonaldTrump and #JacobZuma. https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2024-11-06-what-trumps-victory-means-for-you-the-world-and-sa-seven-takes-from-daily-maverick-writers/?utm_source=MastodonAfrica <- Disclaimer: I didn't read the whole thing in detail. It's LONG! :-)

We did the usual "what will the rand do" rounds on the weekend, and the answer was: meh.

While South Africans are white-knuckled during coalition talks, and to see if #KwaZuluNatal will explode, the foreign decision makers don't see any real change in political risk for #SouthAfrica.

Hence this week's column:
#JacobZuma is less of a problem than he would have been a week ago, or 10 years ago
