"...it comes at a time of increasing frustration that 23 years into democracy the face of poverty remains black and overwhelmingly female...." So can we move on now please and stop blaming the past? What the hell was the new all promising, all knowing, all sanctimonious ANC that JM was a (loud) part of (and who pushed for the current chief thief) doing for 23 years apart from screwing up whatever they didn't steal or blow? There is more poverty now than before! Hasn't the State screwed up enough that we must now give them the banks as well?! Seeing as you're so enamoured with Mugabe, why don't you go live with him Julius?!
