South Africa’s Jacob Zuma seldom hits the international news, such is the status of South Africa as a powerful or consequential country in the world. But South Africa is having its time in the sun, thanks to the release of The Grand Tour, produced by controversial petrol heads Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond. They have kicked off their Amazon series with an early episode that features jokes on the South African president. The show makes for hilarious viewing, though it is also highly embarrassing for South Africa to have a president who is exposed as not being able to count, among other things. The fun at the expense of Zuma is reported on extensively in the UK, where Clarkson is a celebrity with a huge following. This is a far cry from the way the UK media treated South Africa’s first post-apartheid president, Nelson Mandela, who was seen as a walking saint deserving only of respect. – Jackie Cameron

South African President Jacob Zuma features in a show that promises to be a huge success. He is not depicted as a figure worthy of respect, but as someone who can’t manage basic counting. Motoring journalist Jeremy Clarkson’s Grand Tour included an early stop in South Africa, where his team saw an easy opportunity to crack jokes at Zuma’s expense.
The quips, in turn, have been reported on in the international media, painting South Africa as a crime-infested country run by a corrupt, uneducated president.

Fortune.com said: “The teasing and one-liners extended all the way to the president. For instance, Clarkson used South African President Jacob Zuma—and his controversial collection of luxury items—to segue into the primary topic of cars.”
The Guardian newspaper summed up the fun on Zuma, saying that former Top Gear presenter Clarkson and his co-presenters “kept the references local, with a running gag about President Jacob Zuma’s inability to read out long numbers, his taste for state-funded luxury goods, and a segment where the trio dwelt on carjacking rates in South Africa”
“How did you have time to come here?” Hammond asked the audience, on being told there were 35 carjackings a day. It wasn’t exactly funny, said the Guardian, but at least it wasn’t met by silence like a gag in the first episode.

GQ magazine said: “The highlights of the second episode were the three presenters in the tent, poking fun at the South African President, Jacob Zuma. Or deciding there are only two famous South Africans in the World, Charlize Theron and the, well, more infamous, Oscar Pistorius.
“The rest of the episode, as promised by them, was middle aged men falling over and things catching on fire. There are varying degrees of stubbornness and daftness, particularly in the main military sequence, and it’s something that will entertain the nine year-old kids out there.”

The Independent noted that the first episode of The Grand Tour broke records on Amazon.
In a recent interview, Netflix boss Ted Sarandos revealed how much Amazon paid for the right to stream The Grand Tour: originally, it was believed to have cost the company upwards of $160 million yet Sarandos claims it cost “a quarter of a billion dollars”, reported The Independent.
Meanwhile, Channel24.co.za recently reported that if The Grand Tour does become available to South African viewers, it will be after the show’s international launch date and episode roll-out schedule. “A growing number of South African and African consumers with broadband access over the past three years have turned to other ways of finding TV downloads if a show isn’t broadcast or made available legally in the territory,” it said.
