So, who's the least corrupt one?

The Black man with hair. A man strong enough to go against M. Jordan is strong enough for Africa.

Old white dude. That demographic hasn't let us down yet.

I like the S1W look #2 has going for him. I assume he leads something like the People's Revolutionary Liberation Army for Justice Party.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Isn't number 2 the guy who has the state position that seizing the white farmer's lands Zimbabwe style is the best course of action?

Oof - so many choices here of guys in proper suits - and everyone is clean shaven too.  And I know that's kind of sexist (and I have voted for women in these kinds of polls before) but since literally all we have to go on is one picture, you have to start making some arbitrary decisions.

OK, so only considering candidates in suits (and ties) so that cuts out #2 and the bottom three.

Lets also cut #7 and #8 for wearing pink ties.  Too daring a fashion choice for a world leader (even though I do in fact own a pink tie).  #3 is well dressed, but again maroon is a bit daring, and wearing some kind of ribbon probably means a leftist.

#1 just looks like a doofus.  #5 looks fine but I feel funny voting for a white guy in South Africa.

That leaves me with #4 and #6.  Both men wearing convention al suits with pretty conventional tie colours.  I'm going to cut #6 for wearing a striped red tie then - red ties are associated either with leftists, or with Trump, and neither is a good connection.

So #4 it is then.  I'm sure I just picked the communist candidate.

Whichever white guy is not the Boer party.

Funny that Zuma managed to get back on the ballot.

Huh.  Not who I would have chosen, but then again not exactly sure who the "good" candidate in SA is these days.

Rhamposa (sp?) is not a bad pick.  He was the anti corruption guy after Zuma and not a lot of news coming out of SA is a good sign.
