planet grootes and ideological misconstruing of the point, or he just missed it, I can’t say. There was some waffle about how yes, of course, we want more companies, and more jobs, and we have set up jobs funds. Then there was a “we can’t change the tone of the debate, it’s about jobs and enterprises”. But what’s missing is that for there to be more “jobs”, “enterprises” need to be front and centre first. Just no concept that actually what makes jobs is that someone begs credit from a bank, employs people, and doesn’t sleep for at least the first year through sheer fear. You just don’t get an appreciation from the President that it’s filthy capitalists who read “proudly capitalist” websites that generate jobs for millions of people. They create wealth in the process as well. But the biggest disappointment was over the Dalai Lama. It's a hot issue. Very much the kind of story someone with the democratic tendencies of Vladimir Putin would want to avoid. It came from an interesting source: Jay Naidoo, of all people. He's the former general-secretary of that little organisation called Cosatu. He put it through the SABC presenters to the actual presenters to Zuma. It hadn't lost its power by then because of the way he put it: "Why is government allowing itself to be bullied by China?" The answer was pathetic. "I don't think it's fair that you ask me that question." Yes really. Because "we have departments" that are dealing with that. Oh come on Mr President! Seriously, just grow up a little. The worst part of that answer is not that it's just unbecoming of a President to cry about being hurt in the rough and tumble of politics. It's president zuma but the biggest disappointment was over the dalai lama. it's a hot issue. Very much the kind of story someone with the democratic tendencies of Vladimir putin would want to avoid. that he hadn't prepped for that question. Isn't that what Mac Maharaj is for? Well, unless they have differing views perhaps? To get Zuma at his absolute best, you need to catch him speaking unscripted in Zulu. At his worst, it’s usually scripted, in English. That’s partially due to how his speeches are written, although they may slowly be getting better. But if you get Zuma to actually engage, off the defensive and onto the offensive – taking question, answer, question, answer rather than a whole barrage of questions and then a waffly meringue hodgepodge of an answer – you get to see a much better side of him. He can still, as The Economist once put it, be “policy light” but you get to see the brain at work. He’s not ever going to be great on economics, not every leader is. But he can be really good when he wants to be. I hope The New Age and the SABC have him to breakfast more often. tuesDAY - 4 october 2011
<strong>south</strong> <strong>africa</strong> Zuma bares his real thoughts on corruption cases corruption President Jacob Zuma has offered us a glimpse into his thinking around corruption and taking out political opponents when he explained that acting against leaders implicated in malfeasance is a process, not a short, sharp execution. By CARIEN DU PLESSIS. The President should know about this all too well – he’s been a corruption-accused before. But for exactly this reason, he’s often also perceived as being slow to act on corruption and allegations of dodgy administration by the people he had appointed – partly because he is seen as being compromised, and partly Photo: REUTERS tuesDAY - 4 october 2011
