USA v SA Public Morality
Pierre de Vos, who writes the excellent Constitutionally Speaking blog, compares USA vs SA public morality
In South Africa, the arrested politicians (Zuma, Nkonyeni, Yengeni) become heroes despite facing serious charges. This is the difference between a country with a developed sense of public morality and a country where public morality is completely asbent from the body politic. In the USA Mr Zuma could never have become the leader of the ANC. In South Africa, Mr Zuma will become the next President of South Africa.
