I’ve got Jacob Zuma and my mother watching, so have a little appreciation for the political minefield I’m about to walk through, okay?
We’re sorry we stuffed up the electricity thing but we are really, really, really trying to fix it by whatever means possible.
Things look pretty weird with the Police Commissioner on trial and the Scorpions boss suspended, but we are a resilient people that have been through a lot of weirdness before.
All the other promises to fix things and speed up the government made in previous speeches still stand, only this time, I’m going to kick ass because I only have a year or so before Jacob takes over … and you know what’s going to happen then.

Good summary Ray. Is this not quite similar to what he had said before, and then promptly did not do?

Actually what is more important is what he didn’t say and that is, creeping up the butts of JZ and his communist cronies, by giving his blessing to the impending move to communism and the expedient legalized theft of white assets.

Maybe Mbeki has got a plan, I certainly hope so.
