Zuma is currently serving his 15-month prison term at home. The former president was released on medical parole last September.

Duma said Msholozi was delighted by the visitors, which also included religious leaders and others in places of power. Members of the ruling party in the province will continue visiting infamous leaders from the ANC to draw inspiration, EWN reported.

South Africans reacted to the visit:

@Brettbenraphael said:

“A prime example of ANC "renewal" and "self-correcting" is when the newly elected KZN ANC leadership seek advice from one very sickly Jacob Zuma - a man charged with corruption and is out on faux parole.”

@alfred_cabonena posted:

“Our mission has not changed, it will never change, 2024 is very much important more than 1994. Let us go out in large numbers and vote ANC out of power, let us give them enough time to seek Jacob Zuma's wisdom.”

“Seriously? What wisdom will he bring? Ideas on looting and state capture?”

@ShembeZwilakhe commented:

“While on that newly elected ZN ANC PEC's visiting Zuma, I'm baffled why the ANC and EFF keep on visiting a former leader. This has never been done before. Is it just nostalgia or is there something to gain out of being associated with Zuma? Maybe it’s Zuma magic.”
