Officially!            Anyone noted the size of the entourage? (transported, housed (no doubt in luxury) at (our) tax payers' expense, when at least half of the population here is badly housed, have barely enough to eat every day, have no water or electricity and little hope of work), Really concerned about their own people aren't they?

As it was a State visit to britain he has been given all the works, carriage ride with the queen pulled by six white horses, gaurd of honour, state banquet at the Palace.etc. (however this is reserved for all foriegn dignatries, on State occasions). It shows how highly we think of SA, but we cant be responsible for SA's choice of leader.

Oh dear, too many visions of grandeur - next we will be seeing a copy of Buckingham Palace built here with horses and carriages and guards of honour! To go with the luxury jets and vehicles (one for each of the ...... wives & another for each of the .......... kids as well I expect)!

You don' t sound like you think to highly of his "humanitarism" toward others. Kind of like our bankers and the giveing CEO's big bonuses these days....while the rest go without.
