South African president Jacob Zuma today finally apologised after fathering an illegitimate son, but surely an apology does not suffice.
How irresponsible and stupid can he really be? Having been handed a huge responsibility as the president of a country riddled with aids, he then decides to have an affair with the daughter of a leading world cup official.
Rightfully so, opposition groups have acted angrily, pointing out that zuma’s behavior has contradicted government guidelines which advise the use of condoms and faithfulness.
Lets not forget that Zuma, who is a practicing polygamist, already has three wives and fathered at least 19 children.
To make matters worse, this isn’t Jacob’s first misdemeanor. After being acquitted of rape charges in 2006, he admitted to having unprotected sex with a women he knew was HIV positive.
It just beggars belief how a man who has contradicted the policy’s his government actively tries to promote can still be in charge.
We can’t surly expect a radical improvement in aids awareness and prevention in South Africa whilst they are lead by a president who possesses the morals of former England football captain John Terry.
