president zuma<br />
guess who came to the new age breakfast?<br />
Leaders in managed democracies don’t generally allow themselves to appear in public in unmanaged<br />
situations. It’s undignified to actually have to answer questions that matter. We are not in one of those<br />
– a managed democracy, that is. But it’s a sign of how close we’re coming that President Jacob Zuma<br />
generally doesn’t allow himself to get too close to the people in unscripted situations nowadays (Mac,<br />
if you’re reading this, don’t panic, we’re going to be very nice about Mr Zuma in a moment). And you<br />
would have thought a breakfast hosted by The New Age newspaper and the SABC would be as close to<br />
Pyongyang-style politics as we would get. Strangely enough, you’d be wrong. By STEPHEN GROOTES.<br />
