Cape Town — Former Minister of Finance, Trevor Manuel, has criticised former president, Jacob Zuma as a abusive individual who has taken the hallowed symbols of the African National Congress’ (ANC) military wing, uMkhonto weSizwe, and is using it against the party.
Manuel served under Zuma as one of the ministers in the Presidency.
He said that Zuma has hijacked the name of the ANC’s military wing for use of his own party, the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party as a spoke of abuse, which he said described Zuma very well, EWN reported.
“Whether it be the things that he was charged for like rape, things that he wasn’t charged for but enabled, like corruption, the way in which he broke down the systems of government, all of it speaks to an individual who is totally abusive.” Manuel said during a Palestine interfaith service at St. George’s Cathedral in Cape Town.
Manuel said that he wished people could see through the former president, and his views come as both the ANC and MK party await a cort judgement over the use of the MK name and symbol, which has long been a symbol of the ANC’s military wing.

Trevor Manuel is one of the chief architects of White Monopoly Capital capture of the state and the ANC. His wife Maria Ramos committed treason by manipulating our currency. When MK takes over he is going to jail with his friends Pravin and Ramatras.
