When times are tough it’s easier to pick on people than to fix the economy, says solomonsydelle.

Very enlightening to know the various perspectives from the continent on the charged homophobic rhetoric spewing forth from Africa's 'leaders'.

Per Zuma, I confess that words fail me. While I am strongly against polygamy, I recognise the rights of adults to willingly participate in it, particularly as it is legal in many places. I just can't get over the fact that given the HIV/AIDS rates in South Africa, his last court case (which involved allegations of unprotected sex with a young girl) and his current position as president, he would have the time to have an affair with a woman other than his many wives and even produce another child. Where does he find the time?
