Zuma's deck of cards

Following the Supreme Court of Appeal's decision to set aside the decision to drop the 783 charges of corruption against jacob Zuma, our president has gone and reshuffled his Cabinet again.

Like any good poker player, Zuma plays his cards close to his chest and has proven time and time again that he always has an ace up his sleeve.

But, like a petulant child, whenever he is dealt a hand he doesn't like zuma reshuffles the deck in an attempt to sway things back in his favour.

With Zuma's sordid past coming back to haunt him more and more frequently, he has become a desperate man, doing irrational things at the expense of South Africa.

It has become blatantly obvious that holding out until the much anticipated ANC conference in December might be too little, too late.
