Overview
The judiciary, which has ruled against the executive over 'irrational' decisions contrary to the constitution, has been under a permanent state of attack during [Jacob Zuma]'s term. It is not difficult to see why: one case pending in the high court calls for a review of the national prosecutor's 2009 decision to drop corruption and fraud charges against Zuma. This could yet lead to Zuma walking the trail from the presidency to prison - a personal nightmare he is loudly opposing through the realignment and manipulation of state institutions, from the prosecuting authorities to the intelligence services. It was a concept embraced by South Africa's first black president, Nelson Mandela, as his government set about the task of racial reconciliation and nation building. But on the evidence of 2008's xenophobic vigilantism that left over 60 immigrant Africans dead and thousands displaced, of the ongoing incidences of 'corrective rape' of gays and lesbians or of a national discourse increasingly characterized by racial discordance, Rainbow Nationalism was more an ethereal dream than a structured reality.
