These men chanted slogans of ethnic cleansing, pitting Zulu towards Pondo. With these phrases, they summoned an ethnic politics that was unthinkable even in apartheid’s darkest days.

But beneath Jacob Zuma’s South Africa, the Zulu nationalism that was as soon as anathema to the ANC has now turn out to be its standard working process.
