This line from a Telegraph article on the Queen’s speech: (tks for tweet, @kevernscott)
“Jacob Zuma, the new President of South Africa, has been invited on a state visit next year, while government documents also reveal a royal visit to Bermuda and then Trinidad and Tobago for the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting.”
This would be the first major international invitation extended to Zuma as head of state and will seal international approval of his presidency which started under somewhat of a cloud following corruption allegations.

Are you stupid? Why would a visit to Britain be a seal of ‘international approval’. The problem in South Africa is that you have all these British people running things and wanting to make Britain more than it is

I would think a visit to China would be more important.
