Why are Jacob Zuma’s supporters so upset over the rape allegation? As they know, he is innocent until proven guilty and must stay in office until he has his day in court.

The same applies to charges of serial killing, piracy on the high seas and internet hacking that impeccable sources claim are also in the pipeline, though spokespersons for the police, naval authorities and Global Telecommunications Union refuse to confirm or deny this.
