Cape Town – Former president Jacob Zuma’s daughter, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, has predicted her own arrest for allegedly instigating last year’s July unrest.
In a tweet, Duduzile said that she expected her arrests to be done in “Hollywood style”.
“I’m Told This Is How My Arrest Will Probably Play Out: Arrest Me Hollywood Style On A Friday. Consider Denying Bail But There Might Be Some Pressure To Grant The Bail. Then Give Me Bail Conditions Which Will Include That I Stay Off Social Media, Esp Twitter. We see you,” wrote Duduzile in a tweet.

Duduzile’s remarks came after the Hawks spokesperson Brigadier Thandi Mbambo revealed recently 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.
Police recently announced the arrest of 20 people suspected of being among instigators of riots that left hundreds of people dead last year.
On Thursday, 8 more people were arrested by the Hawks, according to The Citizen.
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.
