South Africa is the center of the HIV-AIDS epidemic with 5.7 million people carrying the disease, more than any other country. Despite being run by a president with three wives and a fiancee (despite all this love, Jacob Zuma still managed to have an affair in which he had unprotected sex,) Zuma has started a program encouraging men to be circumsized, a medical procedure that can reduce a man's risk of contracting H.I.V. by half. This is despite being Zulu, an ethnic group that abandoned circumcision in the 19th century. The article goes on to describe some of Zuma's outrageous behavior as president.
