South African President Jacob Zuma Loses Chess Game To 13 Year Old Girl

President Jacob Zuma went head-to-head with 13-year-old Nokwanda Gcaba in a game of chess on Tuesday.

The annual chess tournament took place in Mandeni in KwaZulu-Natal.

It was a closely-fought game, and President Zuma put up a good defence.

But in the end he was outwitted by the 13-year-old girl and the teenager happily took the
presiden’ts pawns.

The tournament is organised by the Jacob G Zuma Foundation and has been running since 2009.

“The competition is aimed at developing strategic young thinkers,” said Zuma.
