Magashule said despite challenges involving Eskom, corruption, floods, monkeypox, Covid-19 employment, joblessness and retrenchments South Africans are still here.
“They want to be leaders by force. If you watch every corner, people want to be leaders by hook or by crook. But we are there, we are watching the space and we are saying to our people to remain strong where you are,” he shared in a video captioned Duduzane Zuma for ANC President.
Zuma said he plans to follow in his father’s footsteps, TimesLIVE reported.
