November’s pic of the month: Tells Merkel/Zuma story better than 1000 words

November was a busy month for Biznews as we hosted some cracking articles. Two of them went viral – respected international journalist Tim Knight wondering how it was possible SA could slide from Madiba to Zuma; and our own analysis of why Zuma is the worst value for money president on earth. But we omitted to publish the best news photograph of the month – so here is the classic by Bloomberg’s Krisztian Bocsi. Once again South Africa’s unpopular President features, this time alongside one of the world’s most respected leaders, Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel. What was that about a picture being worth more than 1000 words? – Alec Hogg

European Union President Donald Tusk said Germany needs to make it clear that Europe's ability to absorb refugees is limited, challenging Merkel to signal toughness alongside moral principles.
