country growth helping
Aid should shift to investment. This will help countries stand on their own.
wise mean people
We're not forcing people... you can support and be a supporter, but if you go beyond that and become a member, [and] if you're a businessman, your business will multiply... Everything you touch will multiply. I've always said that a wise businessperson will support the ANC... because supporting the ANC means you're investing very well in your business.
risk disease ridiculous
A shower would minimise the risk of contracting the disease.
people ridiculous
...The people love him. So how can we condemn him?
matter ridiculous constitution
The Constitution is only there to regulate matters.
country democracy fundamentals
Criminality is always the result of poverty. Countries that experience such a fundamental change as we have - we had the apartheid regime and must now develop a multicultural democracy - must necessarily pass through a phase of high crime rates.
voting gone knows
Something has gone wrong with Ronnie... He wasn't like that before. I don't know what went wrong with him.

There is not a single country in the world that is not interested in doing business with China. And no one is seriously concerned about human rights. But Africans are criticized for wanting to do business with China.
nice simple zuma
People tend to try to find something to talk about Zuma. My surname is very nice and simple. Very simple, so they like pronouncing it all the time. So what's the problem?
crooks ridiculous wells
Me? Well, I don't know, I must go to a dictionary and learn what a crook is. I've never been a crook.
forever luck unhappy
The ancestors will turn their backs against you and you will have bad luck forever if you leave the ANC unhappy
blessed heaven earth
Those who vote for the ANC will be blessed on earth and heaven
country jesus blessed
God expects the ANC to rule this country because we are the only organisation which was blessed by pastors when it was formed. It is even blessed in Heaven. That is why we will rule until Jesus comes back. We should not allow anyone to govern our city [Cape Town] when we are ruling the country.
sex growing-up disgrace
Same sex marriage is a disgrace to the nation and to God. When I was growing up, ‘ungqingili’ [homosexuals in isiZulu] could not stand in front of me, I would knock him out.
