The son of former President Jacob Zuma, Edward, says he does not trust South Africa’s judicial system. Edward was speaking to SABC News outside the Pietermaritzburg High Court.

"We have learnt from our father President Zuma to be strong despite the difficulties that we face, this case has taken a toll on us as a family we have been victimized and we continue to be victimized for the sake of harassing President Zuma but as a family, we remain strong." he said.

While the businessman's criticisms do not come as a surprise given his father's current position, Mzansi social media users found the comments out of place and unnecessary.
