Incredible how being "too advanced for Africa" is seen as a bad attribute. You should have said he was more of a capitalist thinker who believes in the trickle down effect of wealth versus broad socialist agendas that try to solve poverty by giving government "handouts" to citizens. Mbeki was actually a good president despite what a lot of people continue to say. The so called silence diplomacy you say was an extremely good strategy on his part and I gurantee you Mr. Zuma will continue it as far as Zimbabwe. The implications of a much harsher strategy in alignment with the West will breed long term problems.

South Africa is traddling btw a first world/ third world dilemma all at the same time. Lets hope Mr Zuma is bright enough not to alienate the capitalist thinkers who offer the investment opportunities for the poor who offer nothing but one man one vote.

Nicely said,I aggree with you that Mbeki was a good President,we all know that he is a very intelligent man,maybe too intelligent for people around him,because there are stories that he was not good at taking advises,what he say goes.In a country where 4 million people are infected with AIDS and majority are uneducated you don't have to speak in interllectual and philosophical terms,when you say HIV does not cause AIDS but poverty do people will believe that ,they wont analyse your statement the way you want them to.

Yes South Africa's situation is very different to any country in the continent,Because a president should protect the poor and still look after the rich interest,tough job indeed.
But Zuma has been accused of being a political chameleon,he changes with the audiance,I don't know if it is a good tactic but if this work then I am happy.

I think that lot of things still need to be fixed in this country and blacks must pull together,we cannot afford to split our votes at this moment,our votes is the only thing that give us power,whites owned the economy and we need a political will to reverse this.

Life is quite simple but it is not fools that try to make it complicated. A terrorist is a person who inspires terror and since Nelson Mandela inspired terror this makes him a terrorist, FULL STOP!

Between Mandela and the apaartheid goverment who 'inpired terror'?.If you can answer that I will allow you to put your FULL STOP

IFELEKE:
@RSA
How are you?,It's been a while. . .
Do You really think Zuma is the right man for the job considering his criminal records and volatile nature?
No abuse Intended.

Yes my brother I am still here,I honestly think that he will do much better,Irrespective of what the media say,he is the peoples person,It took NPA(National Prosecuting Authority) almost ten years to charge Zuma because they did'nt have enough evidence,during this period called the meeting with newspapers editors and told them that they have a primaface case against Zuma but it is unwinnable in court?They did that to tarnish his political career,to loose people trust,to be judged in public opinion courts.Now that we all know what we knew that there was political interference(there are phone tab recording to prove this).Mbeki and his friends used state resources to get Zuma.Zuma being the typical Zuluman he is fought with everything he got and came out victorious.

I don't think he's got criminal records as you have stated,but he was accused of criminal activities which he was aquitted in court(rape charges) and his corruption case dropped.Our media has always been anti black goverment,some experts say this is good since they're the watchdog of the goverment,but most of them are white supremist who think blacks cannot rule and are messing up everything even when the records show that the true is the opposite.
This will be the most open President we ever had.who will listen to people,who will make decisions with people,thats all South Africa need now.

He has met business people and minority groups,and they are happy with him,In his Election  Manifesto he says he will fight corruption,be transparent,fight crime,improve the quality of our education,build houses for the poor,supporting SME's, Black Empowerment policies and have a dedicated HIV/AIDS ministry to deal with the desease.

JJYOU:
does it matter? they are used to being ruled by their enemies and oppressors.

Zuma 100% Zuluboy,100% ANC

I think Zuma is the right man for the job,Hated by few loved my many.And the campaing is going on well.

I saw your message to Johanne on skyscrapercity, I apologise.I guess I have been a naughty boy

Lydon:
RSA, please STOP using photos that are not yours or credit the original photographers as I know the photographers of half of these photos and some are not amused at all. These are not your private property.

Look I have never said I took this pictures,if you have followed this thread you will have read somewhere that some of this pictures come from skyscapercity.com.
This is not about me 'stealing' pictures but its about showing the nairaland the 2010 developments,Iam not getting credit for this but South Africa's local organising commitee and the goverment do.Please look at the bigger pic my brother.I think you're being childish now.

Nelson Mandela Bay won the Best African City of the Year award at the World Leadership Awards held in London earlier this month.

The City also won first prize in the Health category for the Emmanuel Haven project; a Christian response to HIV and AIDS made up of a research unit, an anti-retroviral clinic, orphans club and Christian outreach programme.

The World Leadership Awards are organised by the World Leadership Forum. The non-governmental organisation promotes leadership by stimulating debate on leadership issues and highlighting the work of exceptional leaders.

More than 400 cities across the world are asked to submit projects for the Leadership Awards. These encompass a range of activities including; Architecture & Civil Engineering, Culture and the arts, Economy and/or Employment, Health, Housing, Sport, Urban Renewal and Town Planning.

Awards are then given to cities whose leaders have shown exceptional imagination, foresight or resilience and those cities that have reversed trends and acted as an example and inspiration to others.

For the first time since the inception of the awards in 2005, judges declared four cities to be City of the Year for their region. These were Nelson Mandela Bay (Africa), Las Vegas, USA (America), Amman, Jordan (Asia-Pacific) and Madrid, Spain (Europe).

An overwhelmed Executive Mayor Councillor Nondumiso Maphazi, said it was a special moment for Nelson Mandela Bay. “This has indeed proved that Nelson Mandela Bay is committed to working with the people in improving their lives for the better.

“The name Nelson Mandela Bay will continue to travel around the world, and serve as an outstanding marketing tool for attracting tourists, as well as local and international investors" she added.

In 2005 Nelson Mandela Bay’s entry The Red Location Museum of Struggle won the Architecture & Civil Engineering Category, while their Sustainable Community Planning entry won the Town Planning category.

More pics of PE

More Port E

Port Elizabeth is also known as Mandela bay,nicknamed Friendly city or windy city

@Heyo,as far as I know,(as a South African,I'm sure u are aware),South African girls likes Nigerians.For video's I will advise you to get them from agencies,I think it's cheaper in Joburg(including Sandton) than in Cape Town but maybe you should try Port Elizabeth,some of the most beautiful people lives there and are very friendly,also Port Elizabeth is a very beautiful city,believe me

This is what you find in the Zulus Kingdom,in Durban Kwazulu Natal Province

You can take your car for a wash aswell

I know you gonna like this part of Capetown

More of Cape

Or you can catch a plane to Cape Town,which is 1400 kilometers from Joburg,if you're an explorer you can drive,it is safe and the scenery is breath taking,and beside you will be sleeping in Bed and breakfast in this small towns,beautiful.And Cape town if full white people,locals or internationals and there are lot of mixed people here aswell.But you need to bring lots of money,things are not too cheap here.

Or you can to Pretoria,this is the capital city,it is 40 kilometers from Johannesburg

Or you can go to Sandton city,all busineses from CBD inJohannesburg moved here.There are lot of white chicks and its very safe its about 15 kilometers from Joburg(It is still part of greaterJoburg0.

Athough most businesses left CBD around ten years ago,goverment is rebuilding the inner CBD and some businesses and residence have come back to the city,its not yet safe

@Heyo I can only show you pictures of South Africans cities,and you make your choice,Lets start with Johannesburg,you wont find lot of white chicks here,but the city is vibrant,the biggest city in SA.

@ Hurus, thank you,very nice

sholabanke:
stay like that

Lolabbey:
lik wht?huh?

Mandela

@Allboy,One thing I've noticed about Nigerian players is they perfomed well under pressure,they where not under any pressure when they faced Mozambique,they thought they've already won that game.u're next game will completely be a different ball game,Mozambique was a wakeup call,and the good thing is it happen early in the group stages and you didn't loose that game.
I don't think you need to press panic button now,you're far from a disaster.
Good luck and hope to see that green and white band in our stands soon.

Lolabbey:

sorry
not to u

A black guy walks into the local welfare office, marches straight up to the counter and says, "Hi, You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job."

The social worker behind the counter says, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful nymphomaniac daughter.

You'll have to drive around in his Mercedes, but he'll supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll be expected to escort her on her overseas holiday trips. You will have to satisfy her sexual urges. You'll be provided a two-bedroom apartment above the garage. The starting salary is R1 200 000 a year."

The guy, wide-eyed, says, "You're bullshittin' me!"

The social worker says, "Yeah, well , you started it."

Thank you guys,another one from Mandelasland

Gauteng Metro policeman pulled Sipho's car over and

told him that because he had been wearing his seat belt

he had just won R5 000, in an Arrive Alive safety competition.

Sipho could hardly believe his luck.

"What are you going to do with your cash?" asked the traffic cop.

"Well I guess I'm going to get a drivers license," Sipho answered.

"Oh, don't listen to him," yelled Dipuo in the passenger seat.

"He tries to be smart when he's drunk."

This woke up Rodger in the back seat who took one look at

the cop and moaned, "I knew we wouldn't get far in a stolen car."

At that moment there was a knock from the boot and Zakes' voice said,

"Are we over the border yet?"

From a cruise ship, a passenger notices a bearded man on a small, remote island shouting and desperately waving his hands.
"Who is that?" he asks the captain.
"I've no idea. Every year when we pass, he goes mad."

Wife phones hubby at work: "Honey, there is trouble with the car, I don't know what to do. I think, "
Husband: "Sweetheart, calm down, what seems to be the problem?"
Wife: "It has water in the carburettor!"
Husband: "What? Water in the what?"
Wife: "I tell you the car has water in the carburettor, "
Husband: "You don't even know what a carburettor is, let alone where to look for it. Ok, where is the car now?"
Wifey: "In the swimming pool!"
