Zuma confirms love child

2010-02-04

[Mail and Globe] President Jacob Zuma has put out a statement confirming his child with Irvin Khoza's daughter, while lambasting the media for criticizing him.
I... did... not... have... sex... with... that... woman... Ms... Ooooops. Wait a minute...
Aren't all these John Edwards stories supposed to go under 'Lurid Crime Tales'?
A media storm erupted this past week around weekend reports that Zuma, 67 has fathered a possible 20th child with his old friend and soccer tycoon Irvin Khoza's daughter, Sonono, 39.
Sonono? Sounds like it should be "Soyesyes"...

Golly -- twenty children. What a man, to be sure.

But Zuma on Wednesday confirmed his relationship and his child with Sonono Khoza and added that he had taken responsibility for his actions. "I said during World Aids Day that we must all take personal responsibility for our actions. I have done so. I have done the necessary cultural imperatives in a situation of this nature, for example the formal acknowledgement of paternity and responsibility, including the payment of inhlawulo to the family," Zuma said in a statement issued on his behalf by the presidency.
...and we'll see you all back here next year for the press conference on Number 21.

#3 Old farm joke, seems to apply here.

A Montana rancher got in his pickup and drove to a neighboring ranch and knocked at the door. A young boy, about 9, opened the door "Is your Dad home?" the rancher asked.

"No sir, he isn't," the boy replied. "He went into
town."

"Well," said the rancher, "Is your Mother here?"

"No sir, she's not here either. She went into town with Dad."

"How about your brother, Howard? Is he here?"

"No sir, He went with Mom and Dad."

The rancher stood there for a few minutes, shifting from one foot to the other and mumbling to himself.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" the boy asked politely. "I know where all the tools are, if you want to borrow one. Or maybe I could take a message for Dad."

"Well," said the rancher uncomfortably, "I really wanted to talk to your Dad. It's about your brother Howard getting my daughter, Suzie, pregnant."'

The boy considered for a moment. "You would have to talk to Pa about that," he finally conceded. "If it helps you any, I know that Pa charges $500 for the bull and $50 for the hog, but I really don't know how much he gets for Howard."

#2 Compared to this guy, John Edwards is a piker.

#1 There used to be a great old cannon on Robben Island left over from the days when the coastal artillery school was posted there. If it remains, and could be returned to working order, maybe this 3rd grade dropout could be loaded in the breech and fired out to sea for the sharks!
