South Africa: South African president Jacob Zuma had fathered a girl, born on 8 October 2009, out of wedlock. On this scandal, Opposition parties and newspapers have accused Mr Zuma of setting a bad example in a country battling an epidemic of HIV and Aids. Even the religious parties have asked him to resign on this issue of fathering a love-child. But on the other hand ANC defends Zuma by saying that Zuma’s sex life has nothing to do with his policies. And ANC refers this issue as a private matter.
Discussion Questions
