A visitor looks at a painting of South Africa's President Jacob Zuma at an exhibition in Johannesburg May 18, 2012. South Africa's ruling ANC threatened to take legal action against a Johannesburg gallery for displaying art which lampoons Zuma and accuses the party of corruption. The works are part of a collection called "Hail to the Thief" and are meant to question whether the century-old African National Congress has lost its moral compass.

Am so scared of what i see,it scares me to learn that africa has gone to its knees to deg people to buy the whole continent so cheap, its like this whole country does not have a leader, you paint the leader of the country with his private parts exposed?!, then you go to court to discuss opinions what should be done about the person who did it??? You then go on to say its hard to destroy the painting? why are we so cheap like this?? is it all about money that we dont even know where its coming from.who is really going to stand for people? The ANC should have taken over the media and the defence force, but because they do not have control over the media and the army it means this country does not belong to them, why should the president be taken to court???
Mr julious malema started teaching his people some sense and then the media which is controled by the people who are in power secretely, they destroyed malema through their media,because what the media does, they fisrt bring a story through to make people speculate, then those decision makers will be forced to follow the media speculations, the media is our secret leader at the moment. president Malema was about to bring hope to the country which was supposed to be taken from the colonisers through war,but was destroyed by the media and today hes silenced.where is africa heading to???????
