I agree, a one party “democracy” is a pretend democracy – a “not quite” dictatorship. That pretty-much describes the South African system of government.

However, this “article”  (Zuma's SA is like Mugabe's Zim: iLIVE) is not a news story – it reads like a letter to the editor. It is an opinion piece – and even though I agree with the opinion expressed - it  whines. The piece has no direction and ends nowhere.
