A video has surfaced online of South African president, Jacob Zuma, where he was sleeping during a briefing on the mid-term budget speech.

The event which took place on Wednesday, October 26 saw the president get into a deep sleep barely one hour, 14 minutes into Finance Minister Pravin Gorhan’s mid-term speech on the budget.

The footage saw Zuma clapping his hands at the end of the meeting to suggest that all he ‘heard and saw’ the minister say went well with him.
