National leaders should be exemplary in conduct

Following this obscene act, the President of South Africa Jacob Zuma was reported as saying the men who attacked the two women paramedics, raping one, attending to a burnt toddler, ''behaved like animals''. Indeed, acts like these should be damned since they simply result in regression instead of progression of a country.

Although Zuma conducted himself competently by visiting and sympathising with the families affected and speaking out against such vile, which is expected of any leader, I however do feel sorry for him in a way.
