# Weekly Zuma WTF

I have to agree with someamongus, our local news is pretty damned colourful compared to elsewhere (birdshot-peppered-Republican-lawyer syndrome notwithstanding). I, like many others, thought that Jacob Zuma's rape defense team was being nitpicky and playing legal games when they wanted to get rid of a second judge assigned to the case. It now seems that they may have a point.

Turns out the judge in question, Judge Jeremiah Shongwe, is uncle to one Mziwoxolo Edward Zuma, who just happens to be Jacob Zuma's 'love child'. No, really.

What's more, it turns out that Zuma Jr has also been accused of rape before, and that time the case went away round about the same time that payments were made by one of Shabir Shaik's companies, to the rape victim. No, really.

Who needs Egoli or Isidingo when you have JZ and crowd running loose on our streets?

It's Zacob Zuma, he can't be criminal because he's JACOB ZUMA! People just don't understand.

I'd like to add though that after Zuma and Yengeni, I have a lot of respect for the ANC's attitude towards corruption. With the precedents set by other African politicians, they could have had much less integrity.
