Young South African politician, considered by many as the likely successor to Jacob Zuma as the South African president. Having risen from a poor background to incredible wealth and power (he was recently named one of Africa's most powerful young men by Forbes magazine), he is seen by many as the saviour of the poor, an "unstoppable tsunami" with a wish to resolve the income gap in the country. Yet his call for the nationalisation of mines, expropriation of white land without compensation and an overhaul of the economy to benefit the poor have already noticeably chilled investor sentiment towards South Africa.
