Zuma to get a new public face
It would be an understatement to say that Jacob is in desperate need of better publicity, and in the lead-up to his August trial date, the ANC is concerned about how well-equipped his current communication staff are.

Good news for Zuma? Definitely. Chances of them being able to reign in Zuma's penchant for ridiculous statements? Nil.
