Trial by POWA

The Jacob Zuma circus has rolled into town and it seems that People Against Women Abuse (POWA- gosh, what an acronym!) are determined to fry the former deputy Prez before he has had his day in court.

Don't get me worng. I think that JZ is a corrupt nobody who was elevated to the spotlight by Thabsie. As a thieving and stupid kleptocrat, he should be kept far, far away from the halls of power. Nonetheless, he is a citizen of South Africa and as such enjoys certain inalienable rights, the right to a fair trial before being found guilty being one of them.

Cue POWA entering the media morass the trial of JZ has stirred up. All of the statements made by flunkies from this organization center around the presumption that JZ is in fact guilty and that he deserves to get as good as he gave in Pollsmoor, or some such.

If an NGO wishes to interfere in the workings of a justice system that is supported by the people's elected representitives, then it needs to think very carefully about which side it is gonna support. If anything, they should come out in support of JZ. As a high-profile man accused of rape, he has already been tried in the minds of most people in SA.

It is just too easy for some grasping women to level allegations of rape against men, esepcially men in the public eye. The very accusation of rape is enough to end a career or family. There need to be far stiffer penalties for women who cry 'rape' just to advance their own nefarious agendas.

JZ may be guilty ( he is fucking stupid- why he would have consenual sex with the accused anmd not expect some sort of fallout is beyond me). But if he ain't, the woman who besmirched his reputation deserves to feel the full wrath of the law.

Well done Reese!

Tsotsi- best foreign. South Africa finally getting her dues. Fugard for a Nobel Prize?

George Clooney- best supporting actor (Syriana). There is life after ER.
