The Lothario from Ikandla strikes again!

The Lothario from Inkandla is reported to have struck again! This time he has “allegedly” — in his friend’s backyard — seduced a relatively young lady from Soweto and left her toothless father fuming at such blatant betrayal. I choose to use the word “allegedly” very reluctantly because nothing that has been reported seems out of Jacob Zuma’s character.

This is the same man who a few years ago by his own testimony admitted to playing a masseur in his spare time, which by the look of things he has in abundance. The young lady in question then cried rape. Zuma admitted to have used his magic potion, Baby Oil, which he smeared on his friend’s daughter before unleashing his inner wild tiger upon her. The court cleared him of the charge.

Some of us thought the revelation of his extra-mural activities during the rape trial may restrain his libido, that his pants would be unzipped only for his many wives and fiancées, but our Don Juan apparently had other ideas. Some in the unholy tripartite alliance have proclaimed him to be the Messiah, the reincarnation of Christ himself. He even had priesthood bestowed upon him by some seemingly desperate Bishop Ben Mthethwa. We can only assume that after siring 20 children, he may have merely been complying with the Holy Scripture, which implores humanity to be “fruitful and multiply”.

If indeed it is true that Zuma has fathered a child with Khoza’s daughter, we must all march to the Union Buildings to express our collective disgust at his sexual indiscretions. It is a shameful behaviour by the head of state.

On World Aids Day he stood in front of the nation, announced the government’s HIV/Aids initiatives and warned that: “It does not mean that we should be irresponsible in our sexual practices. It does not mean that people do not have to practise safer sex. It does not mean that people should not use condoms consistently and correctly during every sexual encounter.”

It is abundantly clear that this is a man who does not mean a word that comes out of his mouth. We have already noted the endless stream of broken promises since he became president. His meaningless utterances on December 1 a continuation of the hypocrisy from the office of this president. We can only assume that either the president of the republic does not know how to use condoms or there is some truth to his infamous Shower Theory. How does he explain unsafe sex with an HIV-positive woman and continue this unsafe practice with another mistress? This is shocking!!!

The US donated about R4.2 billion towards the fight against HIV/Aids and as a concerned citizen, I would not oppose a motion to use some of these funds for providing a yearly supply of presidential condoms.

We have been cheated of exemplary leaders by crooks in the ANC who preferred to vote into office a spineless man under whom self-enrichment flourishes unrestrained. The excesses of his administration leave small-time crooks green with envy. An aspiring fraudster only needs to become an ANC member of parliament and an illicit career is guaranteed. The liberation struggle has shifted gears from “a luta continua” to “the looting continues”. The moral and ethical decay is of crisis proportions.

Zuma, as the former head of the country’s moral regeneration programme, displays no virtue, morality or anything that represents the good in society. The president is an embarrassment to all self-respecting South Africans. He has betrayed the honour of the Office of the President and brought it into disrepute. The abuse of culture should be condemned by our traditional leaders and society in general. Polygamy has now been reduced to adultery. Promiscuity should not be justified under the false guise of upholding and preserving cultural practices. Zuma is making a mockery of this age-old cultural practice.

Malema has warned us against discussing the sexual activities of elders but unfortunately this particular elder has consistently demonstrated lack of self-respect and respect for the position he holds. When does he find time to please his three wives and two fiancées as well as the girlfriends, which the latest allegations suggest they exist? Zuma is 67 years old and he is still busy making babies. This is unfair to these kids. They will grow up with a grandfather instead of a father that will not see them through their youth and tell them about the birds and bees (not the machine gun). Men his age have to contend with the problem of a misfiring machine gun. His is perfectly well-oiled.

Reverend Kenneth Meshoe of the African Christian Democratic Party suggested that he be sent for sex rehabilitation, while the president of the Congress of the People, Mosiuoa Lekota, likened him to a “gigolo”. The president has a present and immediate problem!

What he should remember is that betrayal by a friend is an unforgivable transgression.

Mr President save us from any further embarrassment and step down!
