When Zuma’s face appeared on a large screen above the pitch, a sustained boo rolled through the tens of thousands of people gathered for the service. According to the news agency SAPA people watching the service on a big screen in Dobsonville, Soweto, also jeered as Zuma appeared.
In contrast Mandela’s wife Graca Machel, and his ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela both received loud cheers as the service got underway around noon with the singing of the national anthem.
Let’s hope the Nkandla big induna get’s the message…
