Jacob Zuma got affirmed to his 5th period in his political leadership of south africa with about 60 % election success, after he was already one of the major activists against apartheid before its end 1993. With him came new businesses and their leader into power with often less profit oriented manors than those before.

The political oposition even so the old profiteers had to fight back. And that achieved via the press some obscene and ridiculous voloume. Situations without serious values got blown up to hysterical „go!“ and „leave the country“. And that press often ashames like keeping their customers and readers as simple minded.
When „ten thousand“ protests on the roads are claimed verse 60% win at last election. Simple mindedand foolish when they call it „Guptagate“: „The scandal South Africa‘s Zuma can‘t shake“ (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-30923275) because a major business leader, Mr. Gupta, close to the president like most leading commercial leader, got once permitted to use a Military base for a special private use. Common in western countries, but here blown up as a state affair and reason to get rid of the president including his commercial leader, the competitors of former Apartheid profiteer. Insane, when gifts to his home get published as corruption, evenso personal engagements in different works for the country. Also to blaim the unimployment rates  and wealth of the white, but not calling the causes like just do a little more for yourself and the country.“

On one side SA declares not to be a banana republic, but on the other side the press plays exactly that role. And the missunderstood Socialism: abuse  success and regret  poverty.
