ReplyDeleteI personally do not have a problem with President Jacob Zuma I honestly think that his a hard working man who does his utmost best to deliver to his country and he is not given credit when he does well.
ReplyDeleteI am a full supporter of this Zuma must fall campaign, but despite the fact that social media has far reaching effects, I personally think that it is going to take more than a social media campaign to dethrone the president it's going to take more than that, there are other things to consider before the president can be demoted, he can not be just removed because of his decision to replace MR Nene, or for being affiliated with the influential Indian family (Guptas)
