Jacob Zuma urges South Africans to vote for newly-formed uMkhonto weSizwe
Former President Jacob Zuma has urged South Africans to vote for the newly-formed party uMkhonto weSizwe. Speaking in Orlando East in Soweto on Saturday, Zuma says that this will enable the rescue of the African National Congress (ANC), whose current leadership, he says, is a proxy of White Monopoly capital.
The UMkhonto weSizwe party takes the name of the ANC’s former armed wing that was disbanded in 1994. Zuma says he will never leave the ANC, of which he has been a member for 64 years, but will not campaign or vote for the party next year.
“I will be a member of the ANC until I die,” says Zuma.Ending days of speculation on the next move for the former head of state. The blood of former President Zuma remains black, green and gold, but is it in relation to the ANC? In a press conference, the former President has unveiled his plans to spearhead a fresh political movement ahead of the 2024 elections.
Flanked by supporters, Zuma outlines his vision for the uMkhonto Wesizwe political party. He has sought to rally ANC and uMkhonto Wesizwe Military Veterans Association members behind the newly formed organisation.
“I’m calling on members of the ANC, MK to vote for MK. That’s what I’m calling for. I’m not going to vote for the ANC. I’m going to vote MK and I am calling, I’m calling MK members, ANC members to vote for me, MK so that we have a majority to change this country and rescue the ANC from the mess in which it has been put,” he says.
