Zuma's most public test will come next June, when South Africa stages the football World Cup - whose expected 500,000 fans will deliver an unprecedented challenge to his government's ability to deliver on security, transport and infrastructure upgrades. Zuma has also set himself other ambitious targets against which the South African public can judge him. In his state of the nation address in June, the new President promised half a million public-works jobs by the end of this year and 4 million by 2014; universal primary education and 95% enrolment in secondary schools...

...usually fairly easy for a movie critic to drum up a date for a screening. But persuading someone to join you at the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's solemn, searing postapocalyptic novel The Road is apparently akin to asking if they'll help you transport nuclear waste. One friend essentially declared that even if Pauline Kael rose forth from the grave to endorse this cinematic spectacle of father and son wandering a ruined world in search of uncertain sanctuary, she still would...
