@sam_mashiloane said:

“This one particular former president is so da*n clingy. You can tell he still wants to rule even from his compound. Can somebody please make him a king of some place so that he can focus on ruling that and leave the entire country alone.”

@Brianjbg wrote:

“If Mandela were alive he’d resign from an ANC that supports Zuma. Remember his scowl and grimace when Zuma came to his house uninvited to pose with the great man. Thank heavens Mandela was a real leader not a pseudo “leader” whose DNA is imprinted in every SAfrican.”

In a related matter, Briefly News also reported former president Jacob Zuma’s legacy has returned to haunt the ANC at its KwaZulu-Natal provincial conference. ANC delegates in attendance sang “Wenzeni uZuma?” (what has Zuma done?) and refused to allow the conference to start.
