Zuma mentions in the interview with Newzroom Afrika that people will always have their opinion.
Zuma said “People will always have their views and their views and opinions did not start on the 16 of December, they started really as far as I can remember, I don’t remember a time when people did not have views about my parents and ,by extension views about me , that has kind of been my reality.”
Zuma said she remains focused as she is an activist of the ANC.
She joined the youth league at the age of 16 and it was because of her consciousness and her political convictions.
In the interview she stated that she did not know the details of the formation of the MK Party but says its unfortunate for the ANC to lose a member.
“After the elections the ANC must introspect on how it manages internal contradictions to avoid such a situation,” said Zuma.
Zuma feels that the ANC needs to find a way to manage internal contradictions and ensure it remains hegemonic across South Africa.
