Hurricane Sandy Victims. You will make it.

This is me celebrating my 28th Birthday in Atlantic City earlier this year.

This is the very same spot in Atlantic City after Hurricane Sandy

To all who were affected by Hurricane Sandy, my thoughts and prayers are with you. In the East coast of USA; my former home, America has lost over 100 people to the force of the storm. Over 40 people have died in the Caribbean. New Jersey and New York were the "eye of the storm" as they were hit worst, affecting tourist sites like Atlantic City, the Jersey Shore, and annual events like the ING Marathon in New York City. Many people are still without power or water. New Jersey has been rationing days drivers can get gass according to their license plate numbers, and there are people who have lost EVERYTHING. Please find a charity in your area donating to victims, and give what you can. Many of you who were affected are Zee readers. If you personally know anyone who needs resources, toiletries or in-kind gifts email me and tell me how I can help. I'll be sending items this week.

It's been a while since i've written about South African politics. However, today I had to say something, because it was brought to mainstream media's attention just how trifling irresponsible Jacob Zuma's administration has been. We have seen him marry a woman 30 years his junior and cyphone funding. We have also seen members of his political party eat sushi off of a woman's body. The Zee Affairs post about the sushi event is to date the most popular post on this site. It still receives mind blowing hits. People just can't believe how CORRUPT those politicians were. Zuma's ANC party is the party that ended apartheid and today it was written in the Washington Post just how disillusion the South African Public is with the party. It's not enough that there are high levels of crime in South Africa with car jackings and violence. Zuma's fraudulent activities have created the prime example of a corrupt state. You may remember the 80,000 miners who went on strike earlier this year, because of poor pay and benefits. Washington Post went on to say

"...the number of violent protests this year, mostly over land, inadequate housing and poor services, has grown dramatically from previous years."

Wake up Zuma. Don't make South Africa into another sleeping giant.
