Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla has set tongues wagging on social media after taking aim at the late former president Nelson Mandela on the third anniversary of his ex-wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela’s death.
This week, many remembered the late ANC stalwart Madikizela-Mandela who died on April 2 2018.
Scores of ANC members gathered at Fourways Memorial Park to honour her memory in a wreath-laying ceremony.
Taking to social media, Zuma-Sambudla shared a picture of the late freedom fighter Solomon Mahlangu with a caption saying she wished the late anti-apartheid activist Chris Hani was elected as president instead of Nelson Mandela.
“We have not forgotten. I sometimes wish that it was Cde Chris Hani who became president and not Mandela. And Mama Winnie as deputy president. The Boers would have paid for what they did to our people ... and we would have had our land back by now,” the daughter of former president Jacob Zuma said.
She also shared a picture of her father next to Mahlangu, saying Zuma was being punished for crimes he didn’t commit — like Mahlangu, who was killed for a crime he didn’t commit.
“Solomon Mahlangu killed by hanging by the Boers for a crime he didn’t commit. Jacob Zuma being hunted by the establishment, WMC [White Monopoly Capital] and some of his ‘comrades’ for crimes he didn’t commit,” said Zuma-Sambudla.
