Prime Minister Dr Singh is meeting the president of Brazil in Pretoria. Her name is as usual being mauled in the Indian media. The correct pronunciation is
jew-ma who-safe (the pronunciation is actually 'seff' with the shorter level, but even this is close enough)
or
ज्यूमा हूसेफ़
The current pronunciation being peddled in Indian media is दिलमा रूसेफ़. Sounds like the title of a Bhojpuri film!
