BBC’s African correspondent, Oluwashina Okeleji, has reported a blunder made by President Jacob Zuma, as his country prepares to host Africa.
The President reportedly said on national TV that “I hope the Africa Cup of Nations is won by an African team this time”.
Apparently, his media aides did not prep Zuma well for his Dame Patience moment, as the continental fiesta, is always competed for by African countries and is played on African soil.
The competition kicks off today with Zuma’s nation, South Africa squaring up against Cape Verde.
