MORE ON SA'S LATEST INTEREST IN ZIM

Sistersuzanna in SA says "current political debate centres around former vice-president,Jacob Zuma - sacked in June after trial and sentencing of his friend, Shapir Shaik a businessman found guilty of corruption charges in his relationship
with Zuma. Zuma, is a Zulu (?) and his sacking by Mbeki is interpreted
by Zuma's supporters as an attempt to stop him from running for president when
Mbeki's second term elapses. Zuma has strong political support from people
like the Trade Union Head who criticized Mbeki's support for the Mugabe
regime".
See my blog on Oct 22... This is more grist to the mill for my theory that Mbeki is keen to keep out any competition for his own position and fears the power of the Trade Union (COSATU). Those last two lines about Zuma's strong political support are the interesting ones.
