Safe Sex campaigners were outraged by his admission that, having lead the government AIDS council, he believed the risks "were minimal". He did have a shower after sex though.

Has Zuma damaged the safer sex campaigns? Will peopel be influenced by his behaviour? Or will younger generations accept that sex without a condom is no longer an option for them? Is he simply out of touch with reality?

Here is what is being said online about it:

Stuart Forsyth blogging in Zambia at writes:

Jacob Zuma is sending out a terrible message to South Africa’s youth. HIV/AIDs is at epidemic proportions in South Africa. I believe Jacob may have undone years of very difficult AIDS education in this country and that, if nothing else is criminal.

blogging from Canary Wharf, London had this comment:

Jacob Zuma was arguing because the victim said she estimated the deed took about 5 - 10 minutes. Where upon our enlightened ex-pres replied that it took at least a full 15 minutes! Will the fragility and false pride of the male ego ever cease to amaze and shame me?

from South Africa had this to say:

I hope he ends up in jail for a long time before he does even more damage to this country's struggle against abuse of women and HIV/AIDS.
