Jacob Zuma Claims MK Party Was Robbed During Elections, Says They Have Evidence Votes Were Stolen

• Jacob Zuma claimed that the Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party had evidence that votes were stolen
• Zuma told supporters at a rally that soon the party would be called to govern the country
• South Africans joked that Zuma had experience in vote rigging because he had done it before

Jacob Zuma maintains that the Umkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party was robbed during the May national elections.

The party, which was established a few months before the elections, amassed 14.58% of the vote.

Directly after the votes were released, the party voiced dissatisfaction that the elections were not free and fair.

Zuma says the MK Party has evidence

Speaking during a rally in Kwa-Ximba, Zuma stated that they had collected enough to prove that votes were stolen, SABC News noted.

“We have all the evidence now and what I can say is that all our votes were stolen. This means that soon you will be called to run the country in Pretoria,” he said.

“Don’t be scared as I am telling you the truth, perhaps it can be the end of this year,” Zuma added.

He also confirmed that the party would challenge the May election results.

South Africans laugh at Zuma’s statement

Zuma’s claim didn’t go down well with many South Africans who claimed he did the same thing when he was part of the ANC, so he knew all about voting rigging.

Others joked that they didn’t know he could count that high to know how many votes were stolen.

Yandani Mndai said:

“He used to rob other parties when he was in the ANC. Now he is getting a taste of his own medicine.”

Rajan Govender asked:

“Since when can he count correctly? Just asking for a friend🙈.”

L.J. Mamashila added:

“He knows how they stole votes in the ANC when he was there.”

Steven Moraswi questioned:

“How does he know because he can’t read numbers.”
