A Tale of Two Presidents.

Barack Obama was recently elected as the 44th President of the USA. He is considered by may the answer to the world's ills. But to be honest, he will have his hands full sorting out the mess that the United States of America finds itself in.

Jackob Zuma has just be elected as the 4th President of South Africa and has just a big a mess to sort out.

Barack Obama's Presidency will benifit South Africa because he is prepared to listen, rather make demands like the previous administration. However, truth be told, South Africa is responsible for South Africa.

Jacob Zuma has managed to overcome being fired, being accused of fraund and has managed to have charges against him dropped. That is now in the past.

It is the present and the future, we as south Africans need to concern ourselves with. We are faced with poverty, crime, unemployment, housing sortages and corruption. We also the headache of Robert Mugabeto the noth of us.

How will he sort these problems out, only time will tell. In the mean tim, we need to give him our support. Of course, if he breaks his promise, well we need to make sure he does not get into power again.

I am very confident that this is a very differant Jacok Zuma that we are seeing. One, who is gratefull for a second chance and who will work for the benifit of the people.

And what of the other guy, the one in the White House, weel check out his report card!
