She also had a bouquet of flowers that were meant for him. Dudu initiated a hug, but her dad brushed it off and did not accept her flowers.

Zuma hugged other people in the room and walked past his goofy daughter, who chuckled at her dad’s behaviour. South Africans were not happy with the former president and discussed it in the comments of the viral post.

Dudu is known to be her father’s cheerleader and celebrated him when he announced his new political party, MK. The people of Mzansi also commented on Zuma’s appearance and assumed that he would kick the bucket soon.

@Robert Ross637 wrote in the comments:

“This might be his last year.”

Dudu captioned her now-viral post:

“Happy Father’s Day, my force.”

@Bo Roni wondered:

“Am I the only one who feels like Msholozi is giving her a cold shoulder?”

@Bonnie 💝wrote:

“He looks like Omotoso.”

@mosesthubana0 asked:

“So is she the only child of Msholozi, or is there something that I don't know?”

@Dean Ncube commented:

“I would also celebrate him if I were Dudu. He formed the MK party with blind followers and gave it to her; that's the best wealth a father can give to his children.”

@Matodzi ThefirstMan assumed:

“She is forcing it to get blessings.”

@tumishi seema pointed out:

“Zuma is pretending to laugh with her daughter, look, he doesn't welcome her flowers.”

“He is so cold to his daughter.”

“The man South Africans will not forgive him for giving Billions to the Guptas, who disappeared into thin air.”
