Jacob Zuma Campaigns in Eastern Cape for Local Elections

Jacob Zuma campaigned in Mthatha, accusing President Cyril Ramaphosa of corruption while urging citizens to vote for the MK Party in November.

Former South African president and MK Party leader Jacob Zuma campaigned in Mthatha, Eastern Cape, calling for citizens to vote for his party in the upcoming November local elections. Speaking at the Bridge To Heaven Christian Fellowship Church, Zuma attacked President Cyril Ramaphosa, characterizing him as a "crook" and a "criminal" who hides money under his bed while the population suffers.

Zuma promised that a victory for the MK Party would end the practice of a single person governing the country and would ensure better governance and support for black citizens. As part of the campaign effort, MK Party leaders also visited traditional councils, including the AmaMpondo AseNyandeni kingdom, to strengthen working relations.
