Yes the technocrat in me craves for a T.Manuel government, but some other factors are in play here, therefore i doubt they'd ever let him get into office.
A lot of ink has been spilled over Zuma, but i think all analysts are actually missing smth. It doesnt matter much what the person says now, before the elections. You just wait for him to sit on the chair and you'll see what a metamorphosis he'll instantly undergo. What i'm saying is, the current popullist, left-leaning Zuma will be unrecognizable as soon as the powerful interests sitting behind him, start to excercise their influence on his policies.
