Government set to change presidential rules after Jacob Zuma’s rogue stunt

• The government is set to change presidential rules after Jacob Zuma's unauthorized trip to India, proposing stricter requirements for former leaders who travel internationally with state-funded assistance.
• The proposed changes follow an incident in June in which Jacob Zuma made an unauthorized trip to India, sparking questions about the conduct of South Africa's High Commissioner to India, Anil Suklal, and Zuma's activities abroad.
• The proposed changes aim to balance government oversight with the privacy rights of former presidents, with some experts warning that the government should be cautious not to overhaul the rules governing former presidents simply because of Zuma's controversial appearance.
