“People are constantly applying double standards. Take the United States, for example. Washington wants the whole world to admire the country for its democracy. Then the government sends out its army, in the name of this democracy, and leaves behind the kind of chaos we see in Iraq.”

Jacob Zuma is a South African politician who served as the country's President from 2009 to 2018. Born on April 12, 1942, in Nkandla, KwaZulu-Natal, Zuma became a prominent anti-apartheid activist and was imprisoned on Robben Island for ten years. He rose through the ranks of the African National Congress (ANC), eventually becoming party leader in 2007 and President of South Africa in 2009. His presidency was marked by both infrastructure development and widespread corruption allegations. He resigned in 2018 amid mounting political pressure and continues to face legal challenges. Zuma remains one of the most influential yet controversial figures in post-apartheid South Africa. more
