He was caught sleeping when the country’s Finance Minister, Pravin Gordhan, was giving a speech.

All eyes were on Pravin Gordhan on Wednesday when he delivered his mid-term budget speech in Parliament.

According to Times Live, the speech said as much about SA’s politics as it did about the state of the public purse.

However, an hour and 14 minutes into Gordhan’s speech, Parliament’s cameras caught President Jacob Zuma sleeping.

The president’s head hung to his side as he dozed away.

    This is just one of the many incidents that just shows that Africa is a joke to the world.How can a whole president go to parliament where issues regarding the country is being discussed and you feel its the best time to sleep?
    I’m really not surprised at this Jacob Zuma just like so many African leaders are known to treat the people they rule as a Joke. What funny people Africa is producing that we are referring to as leaders. Its so sad and painful am still waiting for the time we Africans will take our destiny in our hands hopefully it will be in my generation.God will help us
