But now, the public has been given some insight into the innermost happenings of the family of South Africa's third democratically elected president.A new YouTube channel launched in May posted a 45-minute long video of a conversation between Duduzane Zuma and his father on a range of topics including something very personal to both of them - the death of Duduzane's mother, Kate Zuma, who committed suicide in 2000.
I don't know, but that's what happened. "Reverend Frank Chikane walked in, I'm not sure if you remember. Asked by Duduzane if his interpretation of the Nasrec outcomes were not sour grapes on his part because his preferred successor, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, was defeated, Zuma said this was not the case. I just wanted to mention that." This is clearly an indirect swipe at the so-called “Ramaphoria,” a popular reference to the country’s mood after the election of Cyril Ramaphosa as ANC president at Nasrec.There was a mood? He's facing charges of culpable homicide and reckless driving. Some of it did make some newspapers. I remember you, in particular, because you just switched off and were not talking.

"As he continues to relate the story, he hints at who may have leaked the note to media. The last time I saw that note was when he took it from my hands. It's traumatic... Over time, we all deal with things differently. When I get into the room, and when I look to the right, mom was laying on the bed, she was non-responsive, frothing at the mouth and I don't think people were aware of what was going on," he said.

"She wasn't speaking, and, you know, we're trying to understand what's going on, until my attention was brought to a note that was in the... walk-in closet. I know we’re all getting desperate for new content, scraping the Netflix barrel and rewatching old classics, but this isn’t my idea of a good time.The almost four-minute video was classic Zuma family – victimhood, conspiracies, and repeated claims of innocence ahead of Jacob’s impending legal battle.Yes, ahead of his court case on charges of corruption, the Zumas have gone into overdrive, pushing falsehoods and muddying the water with claims of bribery and corruption that don’t contain their grubby fingerprints.We get to hear from Duduzane, who is dialling in from his R18 million Burj Khalifa apartment in Dubai, and Jacob, who appears to be at Nkandla, which us taxpayers footed the bill for.I wonder if Jacob is only allowed to use the fire pool between 6AM and 9AM?In part one, we hear all about how Jacob was supposedly poisoned by one of his wives (despite the fact that all investigations have found no evidence to support these claims), and how the father-son relationship is now “cool”, after a rocky period following the suicide of Duduzane’s mother, Kate, back in 2000.They also had some stern words for current deputy president David Mabuza, and thinly-veiled threats that if JZ is going down, so too are those who aided and abetted his corrupt dealings.Part two dropped yesterday and contained just as much hot air as everybody expected.Never one to take a defeat on the chin, Jacob now alleges that money changing hands influenced the outcome of the ANC’s national elective conference in December 2017.He could be correct, but he lost the ability to be trusted many moons ago. JOHANNESBURG - The personal lives of former President Jacob Zuma and his family have been an enigma of sorts for South Africans for a good two decades - at least until now.While there is an abundance of information on Zuma's political career and controversies linked to it, most of what has been written about his spouses, children, relationships with various friends, foes and business people has been hearsay, media reports or information from second and third parties.

The pity party continued with Zuma saying that post-Nasrec was “the first time” the ANC booted a president “who had done nothing [wrong]”. You might recall this from Valentine’s Day in 2018, when Zuma resigned on the eve of a no-confidence vote in parliament.You’re in Braam….On a Wednesday evening…On Valemtimes…The pity party continued with Zuma saying that post-Nasrec was “the first time” the ANC booted a president “who had done nothing [wrong]”.Asked by Duduzane if his interpretation of the Nasrec outcomes were not sour grapes on his part because his preferred successor, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, was defeated, Zuma said this was not the case.“The fact that money was the biggest ever seen is a reality, it is not sour grapes,” he said, adding that it was also a fact that the ANC recalled him for no reason after they failed to answer his infamous question of “what have I done?”.Zuma’s corruption trial has been postponed to June 23, with the former president recently withdrawing his Constitutional Court application to have his prosecution stayed for alleged corruption related to the arms deal.As that date draws nearer, expect the nonsense to escalate.
