Banana republic of South Africa


Guess we know this, but nice to know the rest of the World also knows. I saw on TV that Zuma is the only president in history that was elected whilst he was under investigation for fraud and corruption, and he still got in!!

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

29 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad cheques
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges,
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year 
373 in total or approximately 70%
Can you guess which organization this is?

It's the 535 members of the SOUTH AFRICAN PARLIAMENT -

(The same group that crank out hundreds of new
laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line!)

You gotta pass this one on!

Far and wide!
