The Zuma-Putin Connection

For some time now, I have been carping about China's incursions into Africa.  A recent column by Simon Kuper of the Financial Times of London, draws attention to "Nick and Marc Francis’s new documentary When China Met Africa".  Most interesting also is his discussion of how old-time communists cannot get the lessons of the Party out of their heads, thus the policies and behaviour of Zuma and Putin and their rise to power.
