school of politics so to say this man was expected to take over from nelson mandela last minute promising to face him that didn't happen eventually but i mean here we see him in the picture theory is women holding the microphone and then he's closely associated with them and in a brand so as we clean sort of record if you will when he didn't become president he went into business and that kept him off the political scene and so a lot of the political scandal and and all these things that could damage a politician's career he's not had to suffer and so he's come back one of south africa's richest men and people think oh he's not in it for the money surely he's going to come into this office and it's going to be about cleaning up this country getting rid of corruption and and we've seen it i mean by the fact that he's denied any sort of immunity not that it's his to give but he's made it very clear that i'm not going to give this president any immunity that he should face is jane koch well when they cut you off they really cut you off. beyond the political wrangling south africa's economy i

his rule has been so different from that of nelson mandela, hasn't it? guerra voice yes, very true.s, very true. to be honest, to be fair to say consumer, he has spent a long time on robin island and fighting alongside nelson mandela, thatis fighting alongside nelson mandela, that is why he commands a considerable amount of support, particularly in rural areas. but something went wrong along the way, as president zuma climbed the ladder of this political movements of the anc. he started getting involved in allegations of corruption, which he of course denies. he now denies that he has been involved in corruption. the relationship he had with this controversial family of indian immigrants, because they started appointing ministers on his behalf. they were offering bribes and jobs as long as they delivered the government contracts. this family also denied the corruption allegations, but that is where the anc found it could not carry on with jacob zuma, because he had become a liability. they have an election next year, and they don't want to lose it because of these long corruption sc

really closely aligned with nelson mandela.ness and he was hugely successful and now returns to politics. what people are keen to see, here is a man who knows what south africa needs to do but also linked in with the very heartland of the needs and desires of people who supported the anc in the early days. it is hoped he can be the bridge between both words that they are —— both worlds. because he is a wealthy man, he will not be prone to any attractions of doing deals, possibly assisting and influence peddling. there has been this notion of state capture. i guess that's true but we shouldn't fall into the trip —— the trap that only rich people should be our leaders which many people have gone with. because he is super rich, it's a good thing. yes, there was corruption but that can happen with wealthy people as well. as he was being pronounced president, a huge amount of kerfuffle, particularly by the opposition, saying we are going to come harder —— come after you harder than we did with jacob zuma. he says corruption is the b
