What is the situation one year later? While he claims to be in Nelson Mandela's tradition, Marianne Séverin will question if he wouldn't rather be the "original copy" of his predecessor Thabo Mbeki - ex-friend for about 30 years, and if Zuma has really operated a shift within the administration?

As such, it seems inexorably destined to (re)become an essential issue for the navies in charge of securing maritime activities.
