Nelson Mandela memorial President Jacob Zuma booed during speech

Metanews: South African President Jacob Zuma was booed as he prepared to speak at a memorial to Nelson Mandela at the FNB Stadium. As President Zuma took to the stage he faced an unruly crowd and ceremony organisers cut in with a choir to drown out the hostile reaction. Mandela's death on Thursday has diverted attention from a slew of corruption scandals in Zuma's administration, while underscoring the gulf between South Africa's first black president, a towering figure of the 20th century, and its fourth. Zuma's reception was a marked contrast to the rock-star welcome for Obama, one of about 90 world leaders bidding farewell to Mandela in Johannesburg.
