Already, thousands of protesters are out on the streets, demanding delivery of the services they have been waiting for. Some of the demonstrations have even been violent. Are you worried? Zuma: These problems don't come from just now. Still, you can't fault the people. After 15 years, people are saying: where is the delivery? I'm not worried. We are aware of our shortcomings. These challenges are based in reality. And that's why we restructured ourselves. This renewal came...
