The daughter of a now criminally convicted South African former president, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla and the host of Uyajola 9/9, Jub Jub, have seemingly morphed into birds of the same feather.
This follows controversial remarks made by the latter on Tuesday, 13 July, in which he went on a heated tirade rubbishing the government, and in and among it all, chalking himself up.

A video of his rant was posted to Twitter and has since been making the rounds, dividing views and, in the case of Zuma-Sambudla, drawing praise. The video was captioned:
"Respect to you @official_jubjub … No army was sent when 500 billion was looted."

Jub Jub fires shots at 'the privileged blacks' for folding their arms
The Ndikhokhele hitmaker criticised blacks and celebrities who choose not to speak up against the violence that is threatening to collapse the country's already ailing economy.
"Enough is enough, let them steal if they have to steal. Let them do whatever because the government is not providing there ... I'm doing myself what the government is supposed to be doing," said Jub Jub.
"People that think they're smart and that think they've arrived, and that think they want to go out there and talk about it's wrong, nobody's condoning looting. I'm f**king disgusted about the blacks who think ... they have arrived.
"They think they are smart and they think they are above everybody else. It's not about Zuma, it's not about anything, people are crying out."
Social media erupts in the midst of Jub Jub storm
The video gained huge traction and attracted throngs of comments. It was viewed more than 73 000 times and liked by close to 4 000 people in addition to getting over 1 000 retweets.
The comments section resembled a Molotov cocktail with many opposing views coming to the fore. Briefly News takes a look at some of the comments below.

There's no substance in all of this, at the same time, we can't expect everything from the government. My honourable President Ramaphosa said, 'it's not what the government can do for you but what you can do for the government'."
@CwaiDiamond shared:
You no longer “still see“ people now? Why did you stop? Unless you know what you were doing was wrong and selfish. Have you at least sent out condolences to the family members who lost their loved ones? I hope orange suits you."
@AgentOfWMC noted:
"He says a lot of nothing. I wonder if he realizes all these injustices after he went to jail for multiple murders or after being let go? He offers no solution in any way. And he says all that we know."
@Elchapo_gaz added:
"Were there unrests and looting of shops when that happened? Did people lose lives, property because of the missing R500 billion? You are too privileged to understand any of the hardships people go through."
