He is the target of the country's most syndicated cartoon strip, Da Zuma Code, which depicts him as a ruthless dunderhead. Editorials and letters in the middle-class press paint Zuma as a potential African strongman in the mold of so much of postcolonial Africa to the north, with some white commentators advising selling up and leaving should he take power. In a widely distributed column, white South African Rian Malan detailed the reasons why he thought Zuma would be President...
