Zuma has Twitter in a spin with rifle pic
Former president Jacob Zuma had social media in a twist after he posted a picture of himself - holding what seems to be a hunting rifle – a day after a warrant of arrest was issued against him.
Zuma shared the photo, without any caption, on Twitter on Wednesday evening.

Zuma's legal team told the Pietermarizburg High Court that he's overseas for medical treatment, but it is unclear where the picture was taken.
A warrant of arrest has been issued after Zuma's legal team handed in a medical certificate that judge Dhaya Pillay deemed unsatisfactory.
If Zuma fails to appear in court in May - he faces the possibility of being arrested.
This while the ANC has thrown its weight behind its former leader.
The governing party says Zuma is a law-abiding citizen after a warrant of arrest has been issued.
