DURBAN - Duduzane Zuma, son of former president Jacob Zuma, has expressed plans to start his political journey towards the presidency of the ANC and eventually the Republic of South Africa.
Zuma sustains a strong stance on his plan to become the leader of the ANC, emphasising that he has designs to bring forth a different approach to those who came before.
Zuma has allegedly begun to gain support within certain ANC branches in KwaZulu-Natal in the hopes of contesting his aspirations at the next National Conference. Zuma links the motivation for his new venture to his interaction with individuals who led him to embrace a political journey.

During an interview with Newsbreak Lotus, Zuma expressed that he plans on putting his name up for consideration as the next ANC president to be contested in 2022 as well as the national general elections in 2024.
Following reports by TimesLive, Zuma stated that he does not wish to go head-to-head against anyone but instead plans to implement a different approach.
In 2020, Zuma stated that regardless of his involvement with the Gupta family, a large portion of South Africans still believe that he can bring about the desired change and would support him during the elections.
