        The poor man has no where to live in AFRICA, so has to set up another home in Dubai. Thoughts & prayers to Banks in South Africa. #Zuma

        Most of J.Z's problems come from illegal immigrants from Ghana, Nigeria and Zimbabwe. So for all his critics from there... think about it 😑

        Trying to escape before the revolution comes, and rebels storm Nkandla? More forward-thinking, but cowardly, than I was expecting...

        Americans and Europeans should educate themselves about what happened to S Africa since the 1980s.

        Smart decision-making. They choose leaders who devastate their country and then those leaders run away to somewhere else after they're done.
