The original tweet was shared by the former deputy president of the African National Congress Youth League, Andile Lungisa, who posted a photo of himself shaking Malema’s hand. It was captioned:

“Happy birthday, my brother, my comrade, you remain a revolutionary for future generations will forever salute and call your name Julias [sic] Malema, not different from Biko, Sobukwe, Tambo, Sankara. We are in court today to support our President of Economic Freedom in our lifetime.”

Duduzile then responded to the post saying:

“Beautiful To See My Leader.”

Saffas found her statement rather confusing as Malema has previously been vocal about not being close to her father, Jacob Zuma, and even called for his imprisonment last year.

Although he was a fierce supporter of Zuma while he was ANC Youth League (ANCYL) president, after Malema left the ANCYL and formed the EFF, his tune changed.

Duduzile a Malema supporter?

Saffas responded to the tweet with their comments and many questions directed to Duduzile and her support for Malema.

@MabGee26 reacted:

“Criminals supporting each other.”

@mrlungisa asked:

“Leadership unjani?”

@MokhaliOa replied:

“Dudu, do you want to tell the public about those days and maybe they understand why you still hang up to Malema?”

@AdrianDaPatriot responded:

“I can see you will always be a follower. Everybody is your leader.”

Duduzile Zuma frustrates many after sharing selfie with caption referencing riots

Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla shared a beautiful selfie on Twitter, and peeps are responding in various ways.

The post caption referred to Duduzile's commonly used phrase during the July riots in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng - "We see you". Dudu often used the phrase when resharing posts of people rioting in various areas against the jailing of former president Jacob Zuma.

The caption read:

"If 'We see you' was a person in 2021... Ndim'lo. Thank you for the love and support. Happy holidays."
