PETITION: We the people of South Africa want Jacob Zuma to step down

I understand that the president is an inefficient leader, but to go as far as saying the country is worse now than it was during apartheid, is utter nonsense. Let us be fair, every country in the world has the same problems like we have: crime, corruption, rapes, bribes, flawed educational systems etc. These are the remnants of a suppressive regime we know left the other non-white races poor, uneducated, living in messed up conditions. And we give one man credit for the entire country's failures? This is misrepresenting the truth, and taking political advantange of the mistakes being made currently. My grandparents hate white people regardless whether they are South African or not. If you think SA is messed up now, ask anyone who experienced life in the apartheid era and they will tell you stories you'd think are lies. Let the white people not hide their own sense of "rightness" or superior disposition towards the black man behind one J. Zuma and ANC. I am not supporting the things being done by the ANC or the President, but I will not blame them for things begun by others. And the land and economic power the whites have, were gained through illegal means. White people are not apologetic for their illegal actions of apartheid and they have not returned anything acquired through illegal means. The whites raped in apartheid, took and paid bribes in apartheid, killed and tortured in apartheid and restricted even movement for black people. They still benefit from the apartheid regime even now, because none has said " I acquired these assets of mine because of an unlawful system and therefore I return them". Zuma must step down and our hypocrisy must also fall. Enough with people who make as if ANC or Zuma are the authors and finishers of our country's perils. The whites started it all.

Truth be told!
