Zuma out of depth: iLIVE

One is astounded by our president's latest outburst ("Lift the glass ceiling, warns Zuma", August 10) and reminded of what the BBC said was SA's biggest problem - "too much government".

Can he not understand that the more constraints that are placed on the way people run their businesses the less likely they are to start new ones and the more likely to take exist-ing businesses elsewhere? A great recipe for job creation.

My father used to say of Idi Amin: "As a sergeant-major in the King's African Rifles, he was probably very good. As president of a country he was completely out of his depth".
