Cape Town – If you’d had enough of news about South African President Jacob Zuma, a new Chrome browser extension promises to provide some relief.
Digital artist Mitch Said has developed the 'Fallen Zuma' Google Chrome web browser extension that promises to remove all mentions of President Jacob Zuma from the internet.
“Corruption allegations, Constitutional Court rulings and popular outrage have all proved powerless - until now. Finally, state-of-the-art technology has revealed a method to remove President Zuma (from the internet)," says a description on the extension's website.
"Add this Chrome extension for guaranteed Zuma-free browsing, and live in online world where Zuma has already fallen,” says the description.
Installing the extension results in the word Zuma falling and slipping away from the screen, only to be left by blank spaces.
Google Chrome is South Africa's most popular web browser with a 48% market share according to figures from Statcounter.com.
Meanwhile, the release of the web extension comes as Zuma has been on the receiving end of criticism following a recent Constitution Court ruling regarding his multi-million rand Nkandla homestead.
Calls have also been growing for Zuma to step down following a string of scandals.
