Zuma

The first edition of Zuma, published in late 2008, concluded with Jacob Zumas future balancing on a knifes edge. National elections loomed, but so did corruption charges and endless court battles. Since then Zumas star has spectacularly risen - the corruption charges were dropped, he led the ANC to election victory and duly became President of South Africa, and his new cabinet and government appointments were generally well received. But he has also recently suffered a huge blow with revelations of another love-child, this time with the daughter of soccer supremo Irvine Khoza. Many of his supporters have distanced themselves from him, and Zuma is looking isolated. Pundits are once again wondering how long hell survive as President. In this revised and updated edition, Jeremy Gordin takes the reader right up to present. He covers in detail the highs and lows of Zumas past 18 months, including the final salvoes of his legal battles, as well as his first year as President. New material in this edition also includes the Pedro document (a document Zuma wrote in 1986), and accurate information on his wives and children.
