Cape Town – Former South African President Jacob Zuma has reportedly expressed his desire to return to the presidency, citing his removal from office and a desire to change the country’s situation.
Zuma made the announcement during a prayer service at the Nazareth Baptist Church in northern KwaZulu-Natal.
“I was quickly removed before the end of my term as president because I was trying to change people’s lives but their behaviour has made me want to come [back]. I want to return to change our situation,” EWN quoted Zuma as saying.
