Should President Jacob Zuma should apologize to South Africans?

South African President Jacob Zuma has some interesting views on political affiliations and the afterworld. Speaking in Eastern Cape on Saturday,  Zuma had compared voting for the ANC to choosing to go to heaven, and voting for another party to choosing the devil.

Zuma said "When you vote for the ANC, you are also choosing to go to heaven. When you don't vote for the ANC you should know that you are choosing that man who carries a fork. When you are carrying an ANC membership card, you are blessed.When you get up there, there are different cards used but when you have an ANC card, you will be let through to go to heaven'.

Hmmm so does this mean that God is also an ANC carrier? What about the Democrats and Republicans they must be from the side of that 'man that carries a fork' huh? This is ridicolous, I hope Mr Zuma was joking uttered this statement.

Many are calling for him to apologize to the public, what do you think? Should he retract his statement or this part of the political game?

What's Going on in Egypt?

Do you know what's happening in Egypt? I had an understanding that there was turmoil based on the headlines but could I speak intelligently about it? No. So if you are in the same boat as me, check out the brief bullet points below to get you up to speed on what's happening.

- After what happened in Tunisia, the Egyptian people were inspired to revolt against their government. They are protesting poverty, rampant unemployment, government corruption and autocratic governance of President Hosni Mubarak, who has ruled the country for thirty years.

-The large protests are unprecedented in Egypt so the government is taking drastic measures to ensure that people are not able to plan protests or even have any minimal communication methods. They have blocked twitter, Facebook and most recently blocked the Internet from the entire country.

-President Hosni Mubarak appeared on state television to announce that while he would be dismissing the government, he would not resign. Sometimes you just have to know when to walk away.
