A change of leader is a test of the strength of institutions in any country. With South Africa’s history, Mr Mbeki’s uninspiring (at best) contribution in recent years, and Jacob Zuma’s track record, it will be quite a challenging test.
I think Zuma has his head screwed on straight, and if he doesnt cave to corruption or political agendas I feel he can do quite a good job for not only South Africa but Africa too!
