President Jacob Zuma has been away in Brisbane, Australia, attending the G20 Summit – not that his absence has been felt. South Africa generally runs on autopilot, even though it is crying out for strong leadership. Zuma’s public appearances, particularly inside the country, are few and far between, and generally contained to prevent the president from receiving nasty surprises. While Zuma has been lying low – both due to the scandals haunting him and ill health – his deputy Cyril Ramaphosa and Minister Jeff Radebe have stepped up to fill the void. For people trying desperately to look like they don’t want the top job, they are not doing too badly as substitutes.
