Baseless rumour, says Jacob Zuma spokesperson

According to The Citizen, the foundation's spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi, labelled these baseless claims as 'desperate fake news'.

“It must be discarded, there is no such a thing."

Manyi added that Mpofu continues to be Jacob Zuma's senior counsel, adding that the post was malicious.

"Advocate Mpofu continues to be the senior counsel for his excellency President Zuma. Anything else is just pure fake. Malicious. Fake.”

Netizens weigh in on the allegations

Many social media users were reluctant to believe the contents of the post. But, assuming that there was a thread of truth to it, this is what many had to say:

@MkatekoRobert said:

"Good for the country. If he expected Dali to win those cases, which I think was not the case, it was a ridiculous expectation. Dali has done a sterling keeping Zuma away from having his day in court. I think the idea was to push time."

"Interesting..... So after Dali cost him an arm and a leg, getting rich off him, he now suddenly realised this guy had no intention of winning any court case ever. Not like he can in any way."

"What took him so long?"

@KwaUliwa said:

"I don't know whether to laugh or cry."

@tngobz added:

"Took him long enough."
