Suráfrica y Jacob Zuma

¿Quién es el presidente electo de Suráfrica?
Jacob Zuma es un tradicionalista zulú que dejó el colegio a los 12 años. Se ha divorciado dos veces, pero aún tiene cuatro esposas y, según dicen, está a punto de casarse con una quinta; y ha tenido, que se sepa, 18 hijos. En los seis últimos años se le ha acusado (sin que prosperara judicialmente) de violación y de fraude, y de aquí a 10 días será elegido presidente de Suráfrica. Dado que es el candidato del gobernante Congreso Nacional Africano (ANC, en sus siglas en inglés), el de Nelson Mandela, no hay nada, fuera de la mala salud o una muerte inesperada, que impida que Zuma, de 67 años, se convierta en líder del país más rico y democrático del continente africano.

El partido de Nelson Mandela, el Congreso Nacional Africano (ANC en sus siglas en inglés) gana las elecciones con amplitud, pero se queda una décima corto de la mayoría de dos tercios.

Para conocer mejor Suráfrica, recomiendo el documental Motherland.
On December 1, 2006, six women from diverse backgrounds came together to take a very unique trip: a 17-day intensive pilgrimage to volunteer in rural South Africa. Prior to the journey, these six women did not know each other. However they all shared one thing in common: they had all suffered the death of a child. With grief in their hearts and the willingness to make a difference, this intrepid group of women traveled half way around the world to live with local African families and to work with African organizations dedicated to improving the lives of children. “Motherland” is a documentary film that reveals what happened, and the lives that were forever changed, on this journey of hope and healing.
