Zuma's 'regret' over love-child affair

South Africa’s polygamist president apologised to the nation after being criticised for having an extramarital affair that resulted in a daughter born in October.

Analysts had argued that the love child revelations would have little impact because South African voters overwhelmingly supported Jacob Zuma in last year’s election even though he was an unabashed polygamist who had admitted to having sex outside marriage.
