I came to the realisation a couple of weeks ago that the press hasn't really been objective in this whole Jacob Zuma saga. When the editor of the Business Day said, some time ago, that when Jacob Zuma becomes president it is time to 'pack your bags and go' it hit me 'like a kick in the nuts' that instead of providing alternative voices the media has largely voiced the fears of white and middle South Africa. (If you dissagree with me on this one read most of the columnists from the major newspapers e.g Mail and Guardian, Sunday Times, Business Day you'll definately find an anti-Zuma slant)

The support Jacob Zuma is recieving from the Left is frightening to middle South Africa (Visions of land grabings and nationalisation of a lot of major industries are some of the fears). The people lower down who sparingly read newspapers are most likely to vote Zuma when the time comes. While on campus it is taboo for one to say that they will vote Zuma in the coming presidential elections.
