Dudusen Zuma, the son of former President Jacob Zuma, has put an end to months of speculation over whether he will enter politics.
Zuma, who lives in Dubai, has been actively meeting people in a manner similar to the presidential election campaign, but on Monday he allowed the country into his “plan for the presidency”.
In an ongoing interview with the Independent Media at a restaurant in Jberg, Zuma said: “Ask anything you want.
Asked if he was officially entering politics to run in the election, Zuma said: “Yes, I will run for leadership in 2024. I will take people where they want me to be. I will listen if they tell me I want to be president.”
About 12 black and white men, who appear to be friends, do not speak the words of Zuma, who appears calm. “It starts with the economy. We have to build it. We cannot build it if we are divided. We all need to build this economy. That unity must be put before the youth. Discussions should not be about young people who are not young. Building this divided country should not be a black or white project. We should all join hands. Black and white, ”he said.
When asked if this was his father’s plan to regain power, Dudson said: “I am not a former president. Questions about him should lead to him, I speak for myself.
I want to address issues from black and white youth first. We all need to eat the cycle. Our future is ours. My message starts with young people. ”
It is unclear whether Zuma will join a political party, establish his own or run as an independent candidate.
“For me, it’s not about slogans and party names. It’s important to move from despair politics to motivation politics.
“Now our youth have lost faith in our democracy. The police are unable to close the human trafficking ring even though the bars are closed. Why are we ignoring the human trafficking boom in this country? Cartels of drugs are running through the streets. The time has come for the youth to grow up to build and we are running out of time quickly, ”he said.
When asked about his relationship with Guptas and money laundering from South Africa, he said: “I will no longer do business with Guptas. My accounts are closed in South Africa, remember. They made it impossible to do business in my country. Why do people think I left South Africa voluntarily when things were going well? I had to create my life somewhere else. The money you stole, how much did I steal? Why don’t the courts punish me for this theft? If they know about the robbery, why don’t they report it to the police? ”
He made a small fuss in the restaurant and asked a few young women to dig a picture with him.
He said: “We have to solve our border issues. We also have to deal with xenophobia. We have state organs that every citizen entering the republic must register. Mining, infrastructure and food security are a priority for the beneficiaries. We can sleep or work. I have to reset, redistribute and rebuild. I mean the same. ”
