Die manne at the Dorsbult have agreed that one more name needs to be added to the country's presidential succession race :

Comrade Schabir Shaik. You see, the manne are of the old school and value things such as loyalty and comradeship - and in Schabir we would have a prez that never forgets his friends when they are in the doldrums. Indeed, Schabir epitomises the spirit of people before profits. Viva Schabir, viva.
