Zuma and Trump are Like “Brothers from Another Mother”

South African comedian Trevor Noah has compared SA’s President Jacob Zuma with America’s soon to be President Donald Trump, saying: “When you look at Zuma and Trump, it seems like they’re brothers from another mother.”

Speaking on his The Daily Show on Tuesday night, Trevor noted the frightening similarities between Trump and South Africa’s “charismatic, anti-establishment president”; both described as a “man of the people”, and both facing charges (Zuma has over 700 corruption charges against him, Trump over 400 lawsuits).

But, Trevor warns, while it appears amusing on the surface, Zuma has turned South Africa, which was a “rising power… to a very troubled state”.
