Indirectly he still will have a lot to do with politics. To think that it is JUST Zuma messing things up is naive, its a collective effort from people within key positions which will still be there after he goes. Yes Cyril has more sway now but the rift within the ANC wont go away, one side will be bitter and we know how they dont care about the ANC or the country. He will have power and duties until he's put in prison. Our relationship with the UAE will have him sent back SA as him and the Guptas have also defrauded American and European countries whom have already called for the extradition of the Guptas in Dubai. His power will end when hes in jail or when he dies, and only then I think.
