@BravoVictor77:

"Was he not arrested under Zuma administration Thinking face, shem now what is he saying, "ill-treatment by the judiciary " is he talking about the judiciary which has been postponing Mr Zuma trial for 16 years? Nah the king is economical with the truth."

@_Siphe_Sihle_:

"Yes, he has charisma but has been proven not to be a USELESS leadership quality if it contributes less in uplifting poor out of poverty, unemployment, improved rule of law and strengthened state institutions. Unfortunately, SA regressed in all those areas under his tenure!"
