Jacob Zuma has always managed to grab headlines around the world, and now the BBC have joined in the party with an in-depth look at the man who won’t go away.
We live in a country where you’re free to support whoever tickles your fancy, although here’s something you don’t see every day.
While masses of people gathered in Pretoria to demand Jacob Zuma step down, thousands of his supporters gathered in Soweto to wish him a happy, happy 75th. He had some words for them.
Google Maps has saved my bacon on more than a few occasions, but it isn’t usually the place I go for a chuckle. Looks like everyone is over JZ.
During the ANC’s media briefing on Wednesday, Gwede Mantashe made a comment on the “real” reason Zuma let Gordhan go. Basically, ego.
Time and time again Jacob Zuma manages to weave his way out of a corner, and we have seen that like never before these past few days. Prepare for the cringe.
Given that no South African president has had the balls to speak out against the atrocities happening in Zimbabwe, it’s no surprise that the comparisons are now in full swing.
Jacob Zuma has had a long and storied history of dastardly deeds, so it’s worth looking back at everything that has led us to this point.
The ANC are prepped and ready to let us know what happened during their National Working Committee meeting, which would have centred around the fate of JZ.
South Africa is gearing up for a show of force on Friday, but behind closed doors last night the ANC made their stance on matters pretty clear.
Everyone knows a junk status rating isn’t a good thing, but how many people really understand the effect it will have on our daily lives going forward?
Junk status confirmed. Russian metro attack. Jozi tremors. Sassa fail. Trump vs North Korea. New Melania portrait. Ackerman leaves Lions. Comedian’s Kangaroo stunt fails. Kylie Jenner new campaign.
I’m sure your social media timelines are filled with doom and gloom, which is understandable, but if you only read one angry rant then make it this one.
Given the unprecedented nature of what has occurred these past 24 hours, even during JZ’s reign of terror, it’s no wonder politicians are flabbergasted.
It happened. Late last night, in true Zuma style, a new cabinet of ministers was announced. All we can do is hope and pray that some of them have a spine.

Some say the writing is on the wall for Pravin Gordhan, although he has been handed a temporary stay of execution. So what’ll happen with the rand?
Leave it to Zapiro to hit the nail on the head, his latest cartoon basically summing up what awaits Pravin when he touches down on home soil.
By now you will know that Zuma’s decision to recall Pravin and his deputy doesn’t bode well, but the full extent of what could be on the cards is truly frightening.

Those in power know they are in trouble, and also know that they can’t really fight against the country’s firm constitution. Now let’s get on this ICC issue.
If legal battles are your thing, as well as a healthy dose of political squirming, then settle in and enjoy another day of South African courtroom drama.
Jacob Zuma might have been in Parliament while Gordhan was making his speech yesterday, but somehow I suspect not every part of him was present.
