Zuma was born in the poor, sparsely populated area of Inkandla in the eastern province of KwaZulu-Natal. His policeman father died when Zuma was 3, and his mother found work as a domestic servant in Durban. Zuma was working full-time doing odd jobs by 15.

A friend warned me before I arrived in South Africa nine months ago, "This is political crime," meaning the violence...
