Yesterday we had an interesting exchange of views with political analyst, columnist, writer and publisher,Justice Malala, about the future of South Africa under the ANC President Jacob Zuma. Malala highlighted the crucial point, the issue that is much debated and talked about currently; and that is the future economic prospects of the country. The big question is: “Will JZ change the economic policies to appease Cosatu and SACP or continue with the existing policies which are favouring the business community. Malala feels that the ANC made a bad move by choosing JZ – saying he is not fit to lead the country; and that people generally are uneasy about the change of leadership.
The newspuppies group was split in two on the potential threat JZ poses to the economy. One of the group members said she feels that no one wants to be led by someone who has a lot of baggage in his life. “He’s got so much on him,” said one group member. Another member said: “ As a president you have to know the basics. He has got to understand the economy. Mbeki knew his stuff, but JZ once said he doesn’t know and that he will find out.” Emotions ran high as some supported JZ and the other half didn't support him.

I feel that every leader deserves a change to prove himself or herself. JZ should be given a chance to prove his leadership capability. I think people have to understand how South African electoral system works. Our electoral system is called proportional representation. In SA we vote for the political party of our choice and not a president; and by doing that we trust the party to choose the president on our behalf.
What I won't like to see happening in our country, is to see him (Zuma) after 2009 being manipulated by the SACP and Cosatu. Nkosana
Guys, honestly JZ is not going to make a good leader. He does not have a vision, he cannot reason, he is owing much favours, unless he stop playing a victim role. He must stop manipulating people's emotions. He must reason as a leader not hide behind ANC everytime.
