The Zuma counterattack has begun](http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-dtvek-l-u/) By RICHARD POPLAK The Sunday papers literally oozed with new allegations regarding the relationship between Zuma-aligned ministers and the Gupta family. And while the country awaits the appointment of a judicial committee of enquiry that will fully parse former Public Protector Thuli Madonsela’s “State of Capture” report, the Zumacrats have gone into full denial mode. What’s more, there is a renewed assault on Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan from the Supporters-In-Chief at the National Prosecuting Authority and the Hawks. You thought Jacob Gedleyihlekisa Zuma was down for the count? His middle name is a fighter’s honorific; the president has barely started swinging. When he does properly enter the ring, big men will fall – and the country may go down with them. By RICHARD POPLAK. [US election fever kicks into high gear](http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-dtvek-l-x/) With just one day to go before voting, the US presidential elections have kicked into high gear.

Trump, meanwhile, has not let something as silly as legality stop his "lock her up" campaign line.

[Morocco wants to rejoin African Union](http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-dtvek-l-z/) In an address delivered late on Sunday, Morocco's King Mohammed VI has stated his country's desire to rejoin the African Union. Morocco left the AU 32 years ago after it accepted Western Sahara as a legitimate country, something Morocco does not. At any rate, the announcement will be most welcome news for the AU. [Three killed in Mali ambush](http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-dtvek-l-v/) One UN peacekeeper and two Malian civilians have been killed in an attack on Sunday. The three died when attackers detonated an IED alongside their vehicle, opening fire on them afterwards. The attack brings the number of MINUSMA personnel killed this year to 30. [Proteas on fire... but is Rabada cooked?](http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-dtvek-l-e/) The good news: Kagiso Rabada has produced another beauty to leave the Proteas five wickets from a remarkable win on the final day of the Test in Perth. The bad news: He's just joined Dale Steyn in the WACA shoulder clinic. Will the Proteas run out of bowlers before the Aussies run out of batsmen? — IN NUMBERS 22 The number of countries where denying the Holocaust is illegal.
