3. Well, Desmond Tutu didn't think he should be the leader
Tutu urges ANC not to choose Zuma

The former Archbishop of Cape Town, Desmond Tutu, has urged South Africa's governing African National Congress not to choose Jacob Zuma as its new leader.

He said most people would be ashamed to have Mr Zuma as leader and that South Africa deserved someone better.
...
"We're very worried that this leader had relations with a woman who regarded him as a parent," he told South Africa's Mail & Guardian newspaper.

This was an apparent reference to the woman Mr Zuma was acquitted of raping. She was a family friend less than half his age with whom he had unprotected sex while being aware she was HIV-positive.
