Zuma Defeated ANC, Claims Mbalula Former South African President Jacob Zuma has been accused of defeating the African National Congress (ANC) by its former spokesman Zizi Kodwa. Speaking at a memorial service for the late ANC veteran Jessie Duarte, Kodwa alleged that Zuma had worked to undermine the party and its leadership. “Zuma has defeated the ANC. He has destroyed the ANC,” Kodwa said. “He has brought the ANC to its lowest level.” Kodwa’s comments sparked a strong reaction on social media, with many people expressing their anger and frustration at Zuma’s alleged actions. Zuma has not yet responded to Kodwa’s accusations. However, he has previously denied any wrongdoing and has accused his opponents of trying to tarnish his reputation. The ANC has also not commented on Kodwa’s remarks. However, the party has been facing significant challenges in recent years, including declining electoral support and allegations of corruption. It remains to be seen whether the ANC can recover from the allegations of Zuma’s defeat. However, the party faces an uphill battle to restore its credibility and regain the trust of the South African people.ANC Blames Jacob Zuma for Party’s Loss in ElectionANC Blames Jacob Zuma for Party’s Loss in Election Despite not securing enough votes to govern alone, ANC Secretary-General Fikile Mbalula asserts that the only person who defeated the party in this year’s election was former President Jacob Zuma. In an interview streamed live on his social media account, Mbalula attributed the ANC’s significant loss to the formation of Zuma’s MKMVA party. He believes that MKMVA’s presence on the ballot split the ANC’s traditional support base. According to Mbalula, MKMVA’s demand to remove President Cyril Ramaphosa as ANC leader as a condition for forming a coalition government was unacceptable. He claims that the ANC rejected the proposal and instead opted for a Government of National Unity. Mbalula warns that the ANC’s future is in jeopardy due to internal divisions and a lack of transformation. He quotes ANC veteran Oliver Tambo, stating that the party will ultimately be responsible for its own downfall. The EFF also made a plea to President Ramaphosa to consider working with them instead of the DA, but Mbalula dismissed this request. He views the EFF as no different from the DA and insists that the ANC remains the only political force capable of addressing the needs of poor South Africans. As of now, the MKMVA party has not held an election conference and is operating under a provisional structure.Zuma Defeats ANC, Says Mbalula Former South African President Jacob Zuma has defeated the African National Congress (ANC) in the KwaZulu-Natal provincial leadership race, according to ANC National Spokesperson Fikile Mbalula. Mbalula announced the results of the conference on Monday, stating that Zuma’s slate had garnered more votes than the incumbent ANC provincial leadership. “The conference has resolved that the Zuma slate has won the majority of the votes and will lead the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal,” said Mbalula. The victory marks a significant setback for the ANC, which has been struggling to regain its popularity in the province after a series of scandals and corruption allegations. Zuma, who has been at the center of many of these controversies, is seen by his supporters as a symbol of defiance and resistance to ANC rule. The outcome of the provincial conference is expected to have a major impact on the national ANC leadership race. Zuma’s victory could bolster his chances of regaining control of the party at the ANC’s national conference later this year.
