^this is true, but i think at this point it's gone beyond just being a socio-political issue. something is brewing in the national consciousness. something unsightly, of which Zuma is being consolidated as the symbol. think about it, people generally harbour a deep-seated mistrust for politicians. if it's not that then its indifference or conscious self-delusion (due to experience: they never deliver). he is rich; they are poor; and yet they would kill for him? they lament the incompetence of his party, and yet they tear shit apart in his name. what's really going on here? what is the link, the point of relation, between Zuma and his supporters? what does he really mean to them; what does he really stand for?
