Supporters of South Africa's embattled former president Jacob Zuma's newly-formed radical left-wing party said Sunday they hope he might soon be the country's leader again, even though he failed to show up at their rally.
In a small stadium in Tembisa township, some 40 kilometres northeast of Johannesburg, a small crowd of about 300 gathered in anticipation of seeing their hero, singing anti-Apartheid struggle songs and sporting T-shirts with the ex-leader's face.
