If you check out their twitter feed, it's riots almost every week for the last few months.  A ticking time bomb.

Zuma knows the day he leaves office is the day he goes to prison. He is exploring many options chief among them to be inherited by his wife (forget the lie about divorce).

Which wife? The former chair of AU? I get you ... when you mention 'divorce'

Yes that one. Dlamini Zuma. She abandoned a plum job Amina could kill for so that she could take over from the husband.

Zuma is slowly introducing tribalism in South Africa by appealing to Zulu Nationalism. He is a dangerous man who can set his own house on fire to get enough heat to boil a rotten egg.

I thought she had exhausted her terms.  His end game certainly seems to be to hang on at any cost.  There is no more pretense at decency or respect for norms.  Reminds me of an orange character closer to home.

She was still eligible for one more term but declined.

That is why SADCC countries insisted on keeping the role. They argued that they still had one unfinished term. Keyan could have won big if she had supported them for one more term and then put in for a second term. But then they should have found a guy. The North African Countries simply found Amina not the gentleman they wanted to do business with.
