Jacob Zuma

There's an old saying, that a week is a long time in politics. Tell me about it! What a week it's been -- in politics and in finance. I went on a short trip to Europe and by the time I got back to South Africa, everything had changed: in politics in South Africa, and in finance around the world.

At present there's quite a heated debate going on in South Africa over a cartoon that appeared in the Sunday Times last Sunday.  The cartoon depicts Jacob Zuma, the president of the ANC and the man most likely to be the next president of South Africa. Zuma is seen undoing his trousers, while people representing the ANC, SACP, Cosatu and the ANC Youth League are holding down a woman, representing the justice system. The men are urging Zuma to rape the woman.
