Clip of Dudzane Zuma giving a speech at Nkandla has SA confused: “comrade coconut”
Taking a glance at the recent piece on Zuma, Briefly News reported that Duduzane Zuma is making waves on social media after completely butchering the isiZulu language - at least, that's the consensus on social media.
The aspiring politician was speaking to his comrades in KwaZulu-Natal and many South Africans couldn't help noticing the lack of fluency in his accent.
Twitter user @ThapeloMpomane first shared the clip online. He was definitely not holding back, saying Zuma's speech lacked oomph:
"#duduzane but there's no motivation in that chanting, it lacks that Shaka thing," he captioned the shady post.
