Embattled former SABC DJ Ngizwe Mchunu has sparked massive reactions on social media after likening himself to former president Nelson Mandela. Mchunu says he and Madiba are the same following the challenges they faced as men.
The former Ukhozi FM worker was speaking to an unnamed radio presenter and says he is a man and proud of himself. The viral video clip is posted by @Mamlaba011 on Twitter.
Mchunu was granted bail by the Randburg Magistrate's Court on Thursday following allegations that he was behind some the recent unrest that engulfed Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal provinces.
Speaking in Zulu, the outspoken supporter of the jailed former President Jacob Zuma says the magistrates and prosecutors now know him, including Mzansi citizens.
