"Zuma told @MmusiMaimane he's a victim of Apartheid. Mmusi denies the effects of Apartheid on himself."

@Simpaas said:

"He was told oksalayo."

@dasisira said:

"Zuma never knew that he was a pon himself used to derail the country, look where we are now."

@BlackAn65843366 said:

"We gave him up for Ramaphosa who doesn't care about black people because he thinks he is more white and live to impress only them with our life. But no one is complaining about him because he had a million in his account before becoming a president. What a fraudster."

@The_Njoko said:

"But here's the thing, he didn't fail. He guided the party to take control of metros outside of the WC for the first time. His mistake? He was naive when he thought he could repurpose the party to serve the poor. That's how he brought forward the Maimane experiment expiry date."
