S.Africa: Zuma was crucified by the media

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

[I do agree that the media played a big role in his destruction, and yet, who was “feeding” the media? I am sure, if one were to dig, that the ANC was feeding this story from the beginning. My view is that this whole Shabir Shaik thing was designed, from the first to destroy Zuma. From the beginning of the Shabir Shaik trial, Zuma’s dirty laundry was exposed.

In my view, Zuma is probably no less corrupt than anyone else in the ANC – but he was selected to be taken down for a purpose. I don’t believe the ANC could afford to allow him to become the President. Jan]

President Thabo Mbeki’s decision to sack his deputy, Jacob Zuma, infringed Zuma’s constitutional rights, the Young Communist League said on Tuesday.

“(We) hope that the decision to release the deputy president is not seen as a guilt-verdict based on the Schabir Shaik trial,” said Buti Manamela, a spokesperson for the YCL.

“The YCL restates its support for Deputy President Jacob Zuma, and believe that until due processes of the law have been completed, he remains innocent,” Manamela said.

Zuma was “crucified” by the media in a political trial started with revelations by the former director of public prosecutions, Bulelani Ngcuka, that he had prima facie evidence against Zuma, said Manamela.

“We are concerned that this decision is followed by a political trial that was conducted by Bulelani Ngcuka who has initiated and concluded the trial of the deputy president, Jacob Zuma, in the media,” he said.

The league however stressed that it condemned corruption and dissociated itself from any corrupt individuals.

Mbeki released Zuma of his duties during a special joint sitting of the two Houses of Parliament on Tuesday afternoon.

This came almost two weeks after Zuma was implicated in corruption during the Durban High Court trial of businessman Schabir Shaik, who acted as his financial adviser. – Sapa
