A South African man has been convicted of assault by spilling his drink on President Jacob Zuma.<\/p>\n

Racehorse owner Daryl Peense, 31, was arrested after spilling whisky on Mr Zuma at a race meeting last July in the eastern city of Durban.<\/p>\n

Mr Peense said it was an accident, but a bodyguard of Mr Zuma insisted that it was intentional.<\/p>\n

A magistrate’s court ruled that Mr Peense was guilty of assault and he will be sentenced in September.<\/p>\n

‘Drunk’<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr Zuma’s bodyguard, Funani Nemaenzhe, told the court he saw Mr Peense pour a drink from a balcony on to the president’s entourage during the horse-racing event.<\/p>\n

Mr Zuma did no get wet because another bodyguard protected him, the South African Press Association reported.<\/p>\n

Mr Peense said he had been drunk and did not intend to harm the president.<\/p>\n

In another incident last year, police briefly detained a student from Cape Town for 24 hours for allegedly gesturing with his middle finger at Mr Zuma’s motorcade.<\/p>\n

South Africa’s Human Rights Commission ordered the police minister to apologise to the student, Chumani Maxwele.<\/p>\n

It said Mr Zuma’s bodyguards had violated Mr Maxwele’s right to privacy and dignity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
