The 37-year-old is aware that he is entering the political space late in life, however, he said he should be granted the opportunity to dream big. While some people believe that he might be able to pull in young people, others have had their doubts about him, especially considering his involvement with the Gupta family.

To that, Duduzane says no formal charges have ever been laid against him and it's just speculation.

According to The Citizen, Duduzane plans to make his first leadership debut at the ANC National Conference set to happen in December 2022. Should he be elected as the next president of the ANC, Dudzane will be able to run as a presidential candidate in the 2024 general elections.
