One of the most simple mistakes we make is that Zuma has the best interests of the country at heart, following this comment is that fact that no-one, except those in the know, and they are not telling) knows what Zuma is trying to achieve, or what his goals are, or how he intends to implement them.
To say that he is trying to stay out of jail, is patently rubbish, he is already 75 and by the time the court case will get finished he will be 80, if not older.  To what prison are you going to send and 80 year old and for how long?
To make his home in Arabia? A Zulu who wants to live in Arabia?, and perhaps be buried there? where is the honour in that? how will the millions of Zulu's be able to  pay homage to him there?
Right now Zuma knows he can do what he likes, and investigation into State Capture, Zuma knows that such an investigation would not be completed before 2019.
Which leaves, all he can do is to put in place a protective screen for when he is gone, and he knows he is going.
