[schumi]

President Jacob Zuma is due to embark on a “charm offensive” this week at the United Nations General Assembly as he campaigns for South Africa's third turn as a non-permanent member of the Security Council.

Zuma and his delegation‚ which includes at least seven cabinet ministers‚ were scheduled to arrive in New York on Sunday for a busy schedule of speeches‚ meetings and negotiations.

Zuma and the ministers of international relations‚ defence and state security will focus on securing South Africa a seat on the Security Council for 2019/2020.

“South Africa will be in a lobbying mood and will be going on some kind of charm offensive‚” said Mahlatse Mminele‚ deputy permanent representative for the South African mission to the United Nations.

Zuma's first order of business on Monday will be taking part in a high-level discussion on sexual exploitation and abuse by peacekeeping troops.

This dick is the worst of them - wolf in sheep's clothing. How do they let him even take part?

Wish we had someone that could stand there with a "Remember Khezi" placard.

Wonder what Irvin Khoza thinks of this?

How many of his wives will accompany him, and which ones, or will he take a casual "girlfriend"?

What a strange turn of phrase under the circumstances.

I'm sure most women find Zuma's charm most offensive.
