Zuma must be tried - SA

[dArKeR]

Where in the world would a deputy president have been subjected to a public investigation without any pressure being exerted by his supporters? One only has to look at the shenanigans of Blair's Labour party to realise that we are about as good as it gets in the real world of accountable democracy.

Earlier this year I came across a particularly relevant article by Professor Hennie Kotze of Stellenbosch University, which analysed public attitudes to the criminal justice system. The research painted a predictable but disturbing picture.

The elite — defined as representatives from Parliament, civil service, business, media, trade unions, NGOs, churches and agriculture — had a very low level of confidence in the institutions that make up the criminal justice system.

In short, only a minority of the elite sample of the survey reported a measure of confidence in the system and, significantly, those who claimed to support the African National Congress showed even less confidence — 66% reporting that they had not very much or no confidence in the criminal justice system.

If I told you once I've told you a thousand times. A Democracy means having to control only two candidates.
