Zuma

Cape Town — The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) Gauteng premier candidate, Mbuyiseni Ndlozi, has hit out at former president, Jacob Zuma, saying he has had his chance in government.

Ndlozi was speaking during a campaign trail this past weekend.

He lashed out at Zuma for his political comeback with the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party. In a passionate rant, Ndlozi said Zuma’s time has come and gone.

“You had your chance, Zuma, you had you chance. For 20 years, Zuma was in government as a deputy president, as a MEC, as a president of this country. What is Jacob Zuma going to do that he did not do when he was a president?” Ndlozi said.

According to TimesLIVE, Zuma intended to make his return to government after he spent nine year as South Africa’s president between 2009 and 2018. Zuma promised radical changes if he were elected again including the legalisation on same-sex relationships, referring to it as a disgrace. He would exile teen parents to Robben Island, and every matriculant would “go to university to join the army”.

Former public protector, Thuli Madonsela warned South Africa against voting for corrupt politicians in the polls, saying that if the likes of Zuma were brought back to public office, they’d bring the country into total collapse, The Citizen reported.

“For us as South Africans, we should not forget that he is a person who has refused to obey the Constitution. We should not forget that he is a person who sold the country to the Guptas and repurposed many of our state entities to do the work and reach his family and the family of the Guptas.” she said.

“The people of South Africa should not forget that because if he does come back into power, he will do just that, he will finish that job,” she added.
