#ZumaMustFall

#ZumaMustFall

#ZumaMustFall
The #ZumaMustFall campaign is an initiative to remove Zuma from the office of the President of the Republic of South Africa. This movement came into existence when the South African President, Jacob Zuma fired the finance minister, Nhlanhla Nene, which caused the the South African rand to loose value, resulting in a major decrease on the economy.

The African National Oongress spoke out against all #ZumaMustFall marches around South Africa saying they go against the spirit of reconciliation. This means that unity within the President’s cabinet remains strong and that the citizens need to show collective participation to ensure the country’s potential and sustain achievements.




"Zuma Must Fall" banner in Cape Town
“ZUMA MUST FALL”. These three words were raised on a banner in the Cape Town CBD and had explosive social media response. The person involved for hanging the banner is still unknown but will be charged with the penalty of a fine or jail time.

South Africa being a democratic country means freedom of speech, however, this don't give people the right to speak ill or go as far as disrespecting the president on social median. These negative comments paint a bad image about  South Africa as a country and portray the country  to be seen as disunited and inferior as compared to other countries.

There are more dignified ways to address complaints about the presidents style of ruling such as discussing issues with local representatives (councilor, mayor) and the information will be carried up the hierarchy until it finally gets to the president. Although communication would delay, I think this is the best way to avoid hinting the world with our country’s problems and weaknesses.

    Zuma must step down, just for the country's sake and citizens. He's been on media platforms for bad reputation, his relationship with the Gupta family has turned this country into a business zone.

    I say the advertising company or agency which raised the banner should be held accountable for their work. I mean you cannot say you running business by destroying other people's reputation. Whoever paid for this banner should be revealed by the advertising agency. That's if the advertising company does not care about their image.

    South Africa is still going to suffer because the ANC is protecting one man who keeps on failing the whole country. The power is on the people the same people who put Zuma in that position can remove him by the blink of an eye. #ZUMAMUSTFALL

    Zuma is costing the entire ANC legacy. He is dragging down the efforts of those who fought so hard in lifting the ANC flag to the top. ANC as a whole is taking the fall in the process of tying to protect the actions of a single man

    Its high time Jay Z steps down. The corruption scandals are just an emphasis of how much of a bad leader he is. We deserve someone who is going to guide our country in the right way.
