I don't think it's a coincident that a leader with dismal ratings on the feminism scale would also have dismal ratings on the prevention of HIV, an increasingly "feminized" epidemic.
The health and status of a country's women is integrally tied to the health of the country overall. Jacob Zuma, while not great on HIV prevention issues, is worse at women's issues.
This op-ed by Colleen Lowe Morna, the Executive Director of
Gender Links, gives a comprehensive and snarky run-down of the harm that South African President Jacob Zuma has wrought to the ideals of feminism, HIV prevention, respect for women in the blink of his tenure, since taking office in 2009.
Jacob Zuma begs the question: when will the world hold leaders accountable for their treatment of women, as a clear litmus test of their strength as leaders, visionaries, and human beings?
Zuma has a laundry list of ridiculous and insulting incidences relating to women, but has made headlines most recently after admitting that
he's fathered a child (his 20[SUP]th[/SUP], with a friend's daughter) out of wedlock. Sure he's not the first or last male in power to do so, but it's the lump sum of his deeds that reveal his terrible record on women's rights.
Zuma started his presidency with a bang and brought the polygamy debate to a new global level as he took office with
not one but three wives in tow. He's been repeatedly grilled about his polygamy since then, including at the recent
World Economic Forum in Davos.
I don't think polygamy is necessarily, inherently bad for women. BUT, polygamy has more often than not been used as an institution to shield misogyny, abuse, and the oppression of women. Therefore to have a country's leader parading it as a paradigm of cultural pride – especially a country where lack of condom use and multiple partners perpetuate a grave public health threat – is problematic. South Africa has one of the highest rates of HIV infection in the world.
In 2006, Zuma was
tried and "exonerated" of rape charges, after he gave a cultural defense that he could not simply resist having sex with the young woman after she "signaled" her arousal by the skirt she wore. What was worse, he claimed that after unprotected sex with the woman, who was HIV positive,
he showered as a precaution against infection. Double ugh.
