No, JZ did not rape, he didnt take kickbacks, he didnt get his rival thrown out off office, he didnt change the law to accommodate his court case.

Those are all false accusations...

What can you do...

[PRIVATE RYAN]

JZ = Jacob Zuma our new prez.

Africa is a tough country.

Pre 94

Fong-Kong – Fake
 

[PRIVATE RYAN]

Nope, no fake. Hugh uproar
about the unjustice, they found
the guy and apparently the dude
on the back had to hold a gas cylinder.

I love the fact the New Zealand team qualified for SA...what with their team named called the "All Whites". Wonder how that's going to fly.

At least their supporters are evening it out by wearing t-shirts with, "White is the new black".

Yeah I've always found that weird - their rugby team play in all-black, but their football team plays in all-white - why is that? The flag of their country is red, white, and blue so I don't get it. 

[Mr. Zimbabwe]

BigJ, I think it's because their sporting badge is a white fern on a black background....

post 94:

"...Mining Magnate Patrice Motsepe is one of the wealthiest people in the world. In fact, Patrice is the first black billionaire in
South Africa. With a net worth of $2.4 billion, Patrice is $0.1 billion short to match talk show queen, Oprah Winfrey’s $2.5 billion fortune. Patrice ranks in at number 503 in the World’s Billionaire List released by Forbes Magazine on the 03rd March 2008..."

[evandatp]

No, that was South...

No, look again. They're both going:

AFC (4)

    *  Australia
    *  Japan
    *  Korea DPR
    *  Korea Republic

Yeah. It's similar to Australia's sporting teams. Green and gold instead of red, white and blue.

Hope the Aussies can pull one out of the bag and qualify second to play England in the second round. That would be epic!

Dates back 100 years ago when our rugby team wore an "all black" uniform on a tour of England and a legacy was born.

Basically every other sports team in nz plays off the name of the All Blacks:

Soccer - All Whites
Basketball - Tall Blacks
Hockey - Black Sticks
Cricket - Black Caps
Badminton - Black Cox

I know they both qualified. Portugal has the North, and Argentina South korea this time.
I meant that was the South in 2002 that proved to be a banana skin for Italy and Spain, as well as Portugal.
