 Hey guys, I know most of you are not South African, but I thought I'd give you a quick update in what's happening in my home country. For those of you who don't know, South Africa has been blessed in the past with two amazing leaders, Mandela and Taboum Beke. They were great guys. But unfortunately, we've now got Jacob Zuma. And I'm gonna be going through some cartoons and you can just see this is what the media and everybody kind of feels about him. Mandela was this massive hero and Zuma, the public doesn't have a very good opinion of Zuma. They say he lacks leadership and there's a lot of terrible corruption and terrible things that he's done. There's also some weird relationship that he has with Russia and very controversial. There's been this nuclear deal that's been signed through which wasn't supposed to happen. So people are upset about that. And a lot of people believe that this man over here is actually the president of South Africa. He's one of the Guptas and the media believes that the Guptas basically own the president. As you can see in the cartoons, they're buying different government officials. What Zuma has done in the past back in 2015 was that he fired our financial minister and that caused a lot of chaos. You can see some people think that it was a 500 billion blunder, which is huge. Fortunately, a few days later, South Africa got back Praveen Gordon, who was kind of like our savior. He was the financial minister and he was gonna come and save our economy. As you can see in the cartoons, Zuma's busy drowning the boat and Praveen's busy saving it. He's coming in, cutting government spending and I don't know what is actually happening in this cartoon, but it looked pretty cool. You can see he's kind of like fighting the problem. They even show him here, he saved us from getting a downgrade rating last year. You can see he went and he rest assured overseas and foreign investors in the budget speech. But, oh yeah, so that's kind of where it went a little bit haywire is he started seeing or uncovering all the things Zuma was doing and he kind of like, not declared war on Zuma, but there was a lot of tension between Jacob Zuma, our president and Praveen Gordon, our financial minister. And a lot of the ANC started backing Praveen Gordon, who kind of showed this way of, we don't have to be corrupt and all this type of stuff. But then Zuma was very unhappy with this and they basically fired him again. So they fired Praveen Gordon, they blamed it on white monopoly capital and this kind of caused a bit of a free fall in our credit rating and our currency exchange. But just to come look at a little bit of South African economic data, what is very scary is that while Jacob Zuma's been in power, you can see our real GDP per capita, it's actually negative. The country is contracting on a per capita basis. Also very, very scary is our unemployment rate is going through the roof. And the media has kind of escalated this a lot with our whole junk status and they have caused a lot of fear in the local communities and people are very worried about our junk status. I did put on the Facebook page that I do think that the whole junk status is a little bit overexaggerated, but no doubt about it, it is having a massive effect on our local currency which is already very much devalued and undervalued. So it's just causing more pressure on a very weak currency. And what's happened is that in South Africa, we've now, before it's always been dominated by the ANC but now we have a few other political parties that are starting to gain ground. And the reason why they're gaining ground is because there's a lot of infighting with the ANC and there's a lot of corruption and people are getting very upset. So people are protesting around the country today and the whole thing is that Zoomer must fall. The people are tired of his corruption charges. They're tired of the fact that he's running the economy down. They're tired of the fact that he doesn't care about the local people and that he hasn't cared about jobs and all that type of stuff. So we are seeing a motion of no confidence. So in parliament, they are gonna be voting against Jacob Zoomer. They're gonna try and get him out of South Africa which I think, I mean, time is due. South Africa we do have some cool leaders coming up. I mean, Trevor Noah is a great guy representing us in America which I think most of you know about him but essentially South Africa's are protesting against Jacob Zoomer. And the best thing for South Africa would be for us to get a brilliant leader in the ANC which is they're gonna be deciding the new leadership at the end of this year. So all our prayers and thoughts are on the ANC getting an honest and true leader that can just lead South Africa in the way going forward. But that's just a quick little update on what's happening in South Africa and if you have any questions please feel free to leave them in the comment section below. Thanks guys, cheers.
