You don´t need corrupt leaders. Change your political system to direct democracy instead. I don´t like the fact that South Africa discrimantes nonblack people. My brother and his family living there and suffer of this discrimination. Thet are too old to immigrate to other countries.

The person who gave him the money was sentenced to 15 years in prison for fraud and was released on unknown medical grounds 3 weeks before the elections. He was acquitted of rape charges when he had sex with the daughter of a late good friend. He then had a shower to reduce the likelihood of getting HIV. He has 3 wives and 19 children Check out the site http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/gov_cor-government-corruption . Iceland is the cleanest at #1 with a rating of 9.7, America is 17th with a rating of 7.6, South Africa is 46th with a rating of 4.5, Chad is at the bottom, 159th with a rating of 1.7. I do not know how they put the stats together. Regards Jim Powell South Africa From: Bruce Eggum [bruce.eggum(at)gmail.com] USA like some other country's on the list is not a democracy. It is a republic run by 565 representative politicians.
