Censorship is the child of fear and the father of ignorance.

The orange felon rapist is using Zuma's mantra "for my friends and me everything, for my enemies the law according to me". These two have lots in common: rape court cases, corruption, cash for access & influence, plundering stater coffers for themselves & their families & friends.

A weak man.

When Afrikaans is so descriptive: "Daar is 'n klomp ontevrede Trompettertjies wat mor omdat die vredesprys nie aan hulle held en afgod, Trumplethinskin, toegeken is nie." ~ Binne+Land gasskrywer

"In an interview shared later on YouTube, Kleinhaus, who did not respond to requests for comment, said that a lack of domestic help was the biggest challenge for him. “There’s no kitchen lady you call to sweep the house, or clean the house, or stuff like that,” he said in the interview"
