The Jacob Zuma Foundation’s invitation to film producers to make a documentary of the former president’s life and times has had to refine its proposal after receiving “an avalanche” of responses, says its spokesperson, Mzwanele Manyi. Has anyone from Hollywood come calling? Not yet, says Manyi, “but it’s not impossible”.

Meanwhile in Tinseltown, renovations have begun on the 14m-high sign that sits on the slopes of a hill in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, spelling out Hollywood. A crew began work on the sign earlier this month in preparation for its 100th anniversary next year. It was last refurbished in 2012.
