 Jacob Zuma's Mexican Wave on Youth Day 2012

Jacob Zuma was scheduled to speak at the Youth Day rally in Port Elizabeth. But instead he flew off  to a G20 leaders’ summit in Mexico.  He earned the dubious distinction  of being the first president of democratic South Africa to miss the hugely symbolic Youth Day rally commemorating the 1976 Sowetan uprising.
