Strange that it should shock him. Poverty has no racial bounds, no national bounds, it's everywhere.

But alas he was also the victim of propaganda.

The poor whites are mostly older members of the society,you know,those who benefited from the loopsided distribution of employment opportunities carried out by the apartheid govt.they are vitims of the demands of this doggy dog world we call home where education really matters and not the colour of your skin,when apartheid ended this people were rendered insignificant because they had no markettable skills,I pity them,but deep down I feel some satisfaction when the world lets ignorant,racist people know that they are human too..........

The poor whites in SA have always been around. Even Zuma acknowledged that he heard of the poor whites as he was growing up, but he says he never believed it.

Any society has it's poor, it's crazies, it's stupid people etc.(Lienabi, that would be you, in your society as you are pretty stupid)

Unfortunately these poor people, although they have good hearts are also not the brightest.

Anther indication that wealth in today's society, is directly proportional to intelligence, although in any society there are exceptions.

here is the link to the artickle from the newspaper 'the Beeld'
http://www.news24.com/Beeld/Suid-Afrika/0,,3-...

And here is one sentance:
"Hoewel hy wit mense nog nie in sulke toestande gesien het nie, was hy in sy jong dae in Durban bewus van arm wit gemeenskappe in Natal, sê Zuma."

Basically Zuma says here that he was aware of the poor white communities when he was a youngster.

The black politicians never focusses on these facts as it would harm the propaganda campaign that SA is the land of milk and honey and that all the whites are rich and all the blacks are poor.

Propaganda again.

Propaganda is when the truth is adjusted to suit someone's agenda. Normally only the stupid people fall fro propaganda. That would be you again Liernabi.

I have decided to call Omnabi LierOmnabi or Lienabi for short, as he lies, like only he can.

What does kombanimko and mapunguani mean. If it is a more fitting description as to Lienabi's character I'll be more than willing to change.
