The strange case of Zuma

South Africa's President Jacob Zuma got married for the fifth time on Monday to Tobeka Madiba at the village of Nkandla in northern KwaZulu-Natal province. Zuma, 68, already has two children with Madiba, 37, who is a former bank employee. Zuma, a polygamist, has two wives. While he divorced his second wife Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma in 1998, his third wife Kate Mantsho committed suicide in 2000. He remains married to his first and fourth wife.
Zuma has 19 children as well as two fiances. He also has a son from an earlier affair.

Multiple marriages are allowed in South Africa and form part of the Zulu culture. However, they have been strongly criticised by HIV/AIDS activists, who advocate monogamy as a preventive measure of the disease. South Africa is one of the worst AIDS-affected countries in the world.

In 2005, he was charged for raping a 31-year-old woman, the daughter of an African National Congress member, but was acquitted by a court.However, Zuma stunned the nation and his supporters when he admitted that he had unprotected sex with the woman in spite of knowing she was HIV-positive, and that he took a shower to 'cut the risk of contracting HIV'.

Zuma has repeatedly faced charges of corruption, racketeering and fraud. He was accused of being involved in a $5 billion arms procurement deal. He was fired from the vice president's post in 2005 by then President Thabo Mbeki when the defence deal was revealed. However, he was elected as the chief of the ANC in 2007 and became the president of South Africa in 2009. The corruption charges against him were formally dropped in 2009, and the prosecution cited 'political interference' as the main reason for doing so. Prosecutors admitted that though they had evidence of corruption against Zuma, "it wasn't strong enough to withstand a trial".

10. Rambo

Previous Employment

US Army Green Berets, Nutjob Mercenary, Snake Seller, Jungle Tour Guide. 

Reason for Leaving Previous Job

Apparently my personal kit of an M2 Browning machine gun, 4000 rounds of ammunition, 12 inch machete, pepper spray, 8 grenades, a handaxe and a small box of tissues, was considered a ’safety hazard’. On top of this, my  jungle-pattern combat facepaint was apparently ’scaring fellow employees’. In any case their facilities were rubbish – there was nowhere to land a helicopter, for example.

Greatest Achievement:

Medal of Honor, Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Black Lung, Vietnam Service Medal, 10m Swimming Badge, Advanced Knot-Tying Badge, MTV Cribs Most Homely (for my jungle hut in Thailand) and Nutter of the Year 1988. Did I mention I have killed over 17,000 people?

Personal Qualities

Knowledge of over 23 ways to kill a man with my bare hands; can operate any military vehicle or weapon (including helicopter and tank); expert escape and evasion skills; very good at applying facepaint; extensive collection of bandanas; extremely sensitive.

Ambitions

Eventually I hope to move away from military-based suicide missions and into the softcore porn industry – both as a producer and star. Basically, instead of using guns to create holes, I’d like to fill holes with my… 6 years as a POW does cruel things to a man…

Special Requirements

12 Vietnamese POWs for my personal amusement (and to keep my interrogation technique in great form), my bandana washed and ironed every evening, and a lifetime subscription to Butterfly Collector Weekly – oh, and a helicopter landing pad is definitely a dealbreaker.

Unusual job

Reached Chennai, today evening after a long 34 hour journey by train. And here I am, sitting at my aunt's place and doing something so odd that I never thought I would do. Downloading, sorting, converting formats and taking printouts of files. Now there is nothing unusual about it except that the files are horoscopes and biodatas of very eligible girls :)) for my eligible cousin brother in Mumbai. :)
