Merged All the presidents (wo)men......

If I had more than one wife, I'd sing about machine guns too. :)

I'm not sure if I'm against him being polygamous. He's from a very different culture than me. Apparently, if you hit the bigtime in SA, you're allowed to shag the Weather Girls. To each his own.

Rape charges, corruption etc. not exactly what I'd look for in a national leader.

Funny that..
Its a cultural symbol of wealth out here.
Perhaps even a global culture with obesity in wealthy countries on the rise.

Took my family to the beach the other day though and the two gorgeous topless girls next to us canceled that idea when they took out their iPhones and started talking an indigenous language with the queens English inbetween.
Their guy friends though still believe in obesity.

I am told this generation is called "the black diamonds".
Hmm.. lets hope they bring prosperity like there cousins ...
 
Culture here is all-important. Apparently in his culture (from what I can tell) marrying many heavy wives is what a successful man is supposed to do. So this would hardly be evidence of anything particularly nefarious in itself.
 
Zuma - what a Boomer!

The polygamist President of South Africa marries again, bringing his current wife total to three.

As noted in the linked article, this hardly seems the kind of behaviour one expects from a modern nation in 2010.

White and coloured South Africans continue to leave in droves as the nation continues its inevitable downwards spiral to third world status.
 
Yes, and let's ask former President Clinton and Prime Minister Berlusconi how well monogamy works for them. I don't know why Zuma wants to marry so many women - I'm not a Zulu. It's how they do things. Frankly, I think it's better than building a monogamous marriage which is nothing more than a facade.

Downward spiral into third-world status? Huh. What would that feel like? Would it feel like the thousands of cars which some yobs decided to burn in the streets of Paris on New Years' Eve? One brick got thrown out of a window in Hillbrow and broke a police car's windshield and it was front-page news. Honestly.

Yes, but I don't think he has been the disaster some foresaw. So far.

No, but then again, Mugabe looked like a top bloke in his early years.

Why are so many whites & coloureds leaving then?

Has crime in Jo'burg been sorted out?

Mate, I hope you're right, RSA is a great country with enormous potential. I just doubt the intentions of Zuma and his cronies.

We also need you as opponents.

Agreed, but are too many simulariaties between his personality and that of the Glorious Leader of Zimbabwe to be comfortable.

That was my initial impression of him, but it looks like he may have been taking wise advice (not about matrimony though).

Well, that's my point. There are real issues that need dealing with, and focussing needlessly on how many wives the President has detracts from that. Why is having more than one wife objectively any worse than only having one? Why do people get married at all? I sure as hell don't know. Surely it's all just an artifact of one's culture? How does it affect you or me in the slightest?

But I'm also pissed at the fatalist attitude so many people take towards my country in particular, when clearly the whole world is going to hell in a handbasket. Our money is based on oil, and the oil is running out. I'm glad I live in a country which doesn't feel compelled to go to war over that just yet, and which has been making oil from coal for the last forty-odd years.

By the way, a hell of a lot of people are coming back now that they've lost their jobs overseas.
