JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (Reuters) -- South Africa's former Deputy President Jacob Zuma apologized on Tuesday for having unprotected sex with an HIV-positive woman and said he was resuming his duties at the ruling ANC party after his acquittal on rape charges.


Here's the full article,
http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/africa/05 ... index.html

Also, the headline ain't too shabby either
Zuma: Not using condom was mistake

Actually I'd say there's some pretty hefty competition in the headline category:

"Zuma family 'ready to forgive' rape accuser"


Those damn rape accusers, someone should really do something about them!



Whoa... what's that weirdo "edit report" thingy???

I HAVE NO IDEA!

Do you know what happens when you step off the plane to AFRICA?!!?

You take ONE BREATH and you have 176 communicable diseases, 167 of which are FATAL

Africa and India are on my lists of places I never want to visit.

It's telling that "lede" isn't in the dictionary, at least at m-w.com.
