The record by the academics suggests a splitting line in between those dedicated to social change – as laid out in the country's constitution – and those that typically aren't. The Zuma-aligned camp is alone on the last side of this line. However, although they do not have a lot else alike, nearly all the country's essential political alignments – political celeb...
