While I hold no scope for Zuma, and utterly detest the apparent peddling of faith to buy votes, public judgement about his lifestyle is not for us to pass. We are all sinners. Even if Zuma was an apparently godly man, it remains unacceptable for him to use his faith as an instrument through which to obtain votes. I think that Christ would turn his campaigning tables over and send him running from the temple. But let's play the issue and avoid the temptation of having a go a the man's lifestyle per se. <BR/><BR/>Blessings, RossAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
