Even if Zuma was to develop the authoritarian impulses of a Mugabe, he would be checked - not least by his own party, which set a continental precedent by ousting Thabo Mbeki in 2007, after it felt he had outstayed his welcome by seeking a third term as party president.

I had no idea of who could play it, no notion really. Then Richard came to see us but I don't think it was decided at that meeting.
