Former Speaker of the National Assembly Baleka Mbete says Zuma is hypocritical


Former Speaker of the National Assembly has expressed her discontentment that Zuma has dumped the ANC for his newly formed political toy MK party despite that the ANC had protected him during his trying times when he was accused of looting and milking the State purse with the controversial Gupta family which escaped the country to avoid facing corruption charges of State capture levelled against them.

Mbete said Zuma’s decision to campaign for another party while he claims to be a member of the ANC is perplexing, deceiving, duplicitous and disingenuous.

“It is disappointing for those that worked with him that thought we knew him but off-course he has now defined himself differently. I think South Africans must just be very sober in analysing what this means, who this person is and what he represents,” Mbete said.

Controversial former president Jacob Zuma says the ANC will not prevent him and his cronies from using the uMkhonto weSizwe brand following the case brought by the ANC Party leader criticised the case brought by the ANC to the Electoral Court to have MK party removed from the ballot paper.

He was addressing MK supporters at the Electoral Court in Bloemfontein as the judgment was reserved on Tuesday.

Zuma said: “The court as you know was discussing the name of our party, uMkhonto we Sizwe Party because the ANC challenged this and claimed that this was their organization etc… Now we say this is not true. The history of this organisation has been discussed, and how it came about. I think when we have been talking, we have been explaining first what is MK, how it came about, what happened to it and why we revived this one now.”
