Three rings on one finger is a little excessive

So what do South Africans think of President Zuma? I have a sample size of three, but none think that Zuma is either good or will survive. His time has been marked more by personal scandals than any sort of accomplishments. One of his close business partners was convicted of having an improper business relationship with the president. As someone noted, it’s difficult for a relationship to be corrupt in only one direction, and usually the first person corrupted is the person with the power. Word is that the only reason he hasn’t been convicted is that he has used legalities and some strong-arming to keep his case from ever coming to trial.

He also had child out of wedlock – which is saying something, since he has three wives and is engaged to a fourth. (Polygamy is legal in SA.) That makes twenty total, in case you're counting.
