SOUTH AFRICA BECOMING MORE LIKE USA?

South African president Jacob Zuma

Africa is becoming more like the USA and Europe?

In 2004, Edward Clay, the UK high commissioner in Kenya, said that corrupt Kenyan officials were "eating like gluttons" and "vomiting on the shoes" of donors. (UK Kenya envoy's comments justified?)

In South Africa, in October 2010, politically connected businessman Kenny Kunene spent a vast fortune on his 40th birthday.

Top people connected to President Jacob Zuma's government attended the party, where women 'dressed only in underwear' clung to Kunene's arm. (Elite 'spitting in faces of poor' - Sowetan LIVE)

Zwelinzima Vavi was at one time a child labourer.

Now he is General Secretary of the Congress of South African Trade Unions.

He has just crticised some of South Africa's "predatory elite" for "spitting in the faces of the poor" while guzzling "sushi... served from the bodies of half naked ladies."

Vavi's comments target wealthy relatives of both President Zuma and Nelson Mandela.

Julius Malema, a top man in President Zuma's party, is one of those alleged to have been using his position to win lucrative government contracts for several private companies that he runs, or used to run. (South African power broker Malema condemns 'smears')

According to Trade Unions boss Vavi, "Why sweat, when political connections and greasing the hand of those in political office can make you an instant billionaire? We are rewarding laziness, greed and corruption and discouraging hard work, honesty and integrity." (Spit, sushi, and the battle for South Africa's future)

DR DAVID KELLY AND 'MISSING NUCLEAR BOMBS'

Morocco



According to Gordon Bowden, at the Palestine Chronicle, 24 August 2010 (GlobalPost):



1. In 1991, Dr David Kelly oversaw the UK government's purchase of 3 battlefield plutonium bombs from South Africa.



David Cameron was sent by UK prime minister Thatcher to South Africa to seal the deal.



Reportedly the UK Treasury was overcharged by £17.8 million for the weapons. (Ex Dep. Asst. US Sec of State opens up a Pandora's Box.)



2. In 1991, in South Africa, Botha's white government was about to be handed over to the Black ANC.



The USA and UK asked Botha's Government to remove their 9 Bombs.



6 were to be sent to the USA for de-commissioning.



The other 3 were bought by the Thatcher government, for possible use against Saddam.



3. Reportedly, a Mr John Bredenkamp stole the 3 missiles.



He then sold them on the open market.



One of those stolen by Bredenkamp was detonated by NORTH KOREA on 25 May 2009.
