Zuma cartoon examination question: South African school apologizes

A South African school has apologized for setting an exam question using a satirical cartoon of President Jacob Zuma floating in a pool full of money.  

Students had to identify the man in the picture and say whether they would vote for him or not, using the cartoon "as a source" in their answers. 

The education department for Gauteng province has welcomed the apology. 

The question was part of an English test for grade six students. 

It is related to the controversial security upgrades, which included a swimming pool, worth 23 million dollars at President Zuma's home in rural KwaZulu Natal.
