   A man has been convicted of assaulting South African president Jacob
   Zuma at a horse racing event.
   A South African court magistrate concluded Wednesday, the 34-year-old
   South African man deliberately spilled a glass of whisky on Zuma from a
   balcony last July.
   Daryl Peense admitted to spilling his drink, but says it was an
   accident.
   Officials indicated that he is expected to be fined when he returns to
   court for sentencing in early September.
