Blind loyalty

What is it that Zuma has that instils the blind loyalty we witness from his most senior appointees in his cabinet?

We know he surrounds himself with cronies and "friends" but their devotion goes beyond politics.  Is it purely their salary and "perks" as a result of his patronage?

Alternately does this point to leverage beyond money, does he have "the goods" on these myopic sheep?

Whatever the case it is truly sad to see a once noble party of noble principles deteriorate into a terrified, laager-mentality little pod of groupies who care not an iota about the well-being of their fellow humans.

The veterans as well as the youth must be disgusted, although one suspects too "timid" to express their views?

An interesting comment from a youth of zuma's visit to a Pmb township in the Times this morning and I quote "JZ lives in Nkandla, we live in hell", unquote. Says it all does it not? This is from a high school grad who cannot find work, not even R24.60 let alone R246,000,000.00
