Bravo Mr. Zuma!

Not often you’ll hear me say that!

Jacob Zuma’s actions may have been dicy in the past — and I don’t exactly relish the idea of a man with his seeming lack of moral judgment running the country.

But I have to stand up and say (actually I feel like jumping up and down screaming!) “FINALLY!” and “Bravo, Mr. Zuma!”

From a story in Tuesday’s LA Times …

“We cannot agree with ZANU-PF. We cannot agree with them on values,” Zuma said at a news conference in Johannesburg, South Africa. “We fought for the right of people to vote, we fought for democracy.”

He said the situation in Zimbabwe was “out of control” and called for urgent international intervention to ensure a political settlement leading to new elections.

Zuma has clearly acquired what we call here in Southern California a set of cajones (referring to those parts of the male anatomy that show you have what it takes in tough situations).

FINALLY a South-African politician is calling it as it is in Zimbabwe … in stark contrast to Mr. Mbeki’s absolute inability to speak a word against Mugabe.

Our news has been FULL the last few days of various world leaders FINALLY calling for international action.

Too little too late but on the other hand, better late than never! I’m still hoping to light that second candle.
