Much, much earlier on: Zuma, De Klerk, Mbeki and Mandela

Still then: Mandela raised them all up

And then things began to fall apart as can be inferred from the eye contact between President Mbeki and his deputy, Jacob Zuma

And then Zuma finds himself alone!
So, how could things happen in a way that a core cadre of the ANC be linked with blatant corruption? He had better survive it or would it not be too embarrassing?
