When I first heard about this trial, I dismissed it as yet another rape story involving a high-profile figure.

But the more I read of it, the more perplexing it becomes. I mean, we are supposed to believe that Zuma's knowledge of Aids-transmission is that limited that he thinks a shower would minimise the risk? So, what's his take on contraception?

Perhaps I've been visiting too many conspiracy theory sites, but there is definitely something not right about the whole thing.
