NEW: Zuma: 'South Africans have colonised one another'

President Jacob Zuma on Tuesday said South Africa was unfairly being compared to other countries on issues such as economic growth and job creation, despite the fact that these nations did not experience apartheid. “Other countries in Africa never had a racially-based economy. Never. We are faced with those kinds of problems today. Our unskilled huge majority is a result of the system. If all South Africans were skilled and normal, I’m sure our position would be totally different,” said Zuma.

“The comparison of South Africa with all other countries – what we always forget is what we are coming from. We are trying to address the legacy of apartheid and it is going to be with us for a long time. In other countries there was no Land Act of 1913.”
