Cape Town – Former South African president Jacob Zuma’s daughter Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla says she is not moved, as her name kept popping up during the Hawks’ investigation of the July 2021 unrest.
She made the statement on her Twitter page after Hawks spokesperson, Brigadier Thandi Mbambo revealed that Duduzile had become a person of interest in their investigations, reported TimesLIVE.
The report said that although Duduzile was not being directly investigated by the Hawks, her name was mentioned in statements obtained from sources relating to the unrest.
“My name is Dudu Zuma. I am a daughter of a great man, the G.O.A.T. [greatest of all time] of politics, Jacob Zuma. His blood runs through my veins. I have no fear. I will not be intimidated. I have beaten the dogs, now the masters are coming out. We see you,” she wrote.

The JGZuma Foundation has also raised its concerns, saying that the persecution of the former president was now being extended to his children
“How could poor people without smartphones, data and probably not even on Twitter or literate be said to have been influenced through Twitter? Madness,” the Foundation wrote on its Twitter.

This came after police announced the arrest of 20 people suspected of being among instigators of riots that left hundreds of people dead last year.
The arrests came as detectives “made significant inroads” in probing incitement of public violence through social media and other platforms during a wave of unrest in July 2021, police said in a statement.
Parts of South Africa were plunged into chaos and more than 350 people were killed during almost ten days of rioting that followed the incarceration of former president Jacob Zuma last July.
