Former President Jacob Zuma and his son Duduzane Zuma have published the second part of their interview in which they discuss the ANC 2017 conference, Vice President David Mabuza and the decisions made to stop the spread of the coronavirus in the country.
Duduzane criticized the way the government had handled the blockade, saying it would have done it differently. While he agreed with the decision to close the country’s borders, all the other decisions had been cut and pasted and had disastrous effects.
According to him, a civil discontent of fed up citizens was now in the cards.
“Many of the solutions we present are pure and reactionary cut and paste. South Africa is a developing world; Certain problems that exist in the country may not occur in other countries.
“The total blockade was excessive. Hunger has long been a problem in South Africa, but a total blockade only exacerbates them. But who benefits from these decisions? I think a total blockade of South Africa was premature due to the results.
“A social social unrest is in the cards, whether we like it or not. How do we hope that people don’t fight for their families? We do not tolerate violence and looting, but how are we supposed to survive?
“The announcements that have been made are based on stakeholders, but people on the streets are not included in those decisions. If you open borders for wine exports, what about the person who runs a car wash? If lobbying can happen where entrepreneurs can get away with it, who’s pushing for uncle and uncle on the ground?
“The SANDF is excessive and has created mistrust between the communities and the police. Isn’t the military supposed to be the last line of defense? Now they are on the ground and intimidating people.
“But now there are people looting, not even protesting, but people trying to get food, so there will come a time when they will face each other.
“If it were me, it would not have closed in the sense of closing the country. He would have done it partially in places that matter: entry and exit points, increase evaluation and testing, and have everyone practice social distancing, disinfection, and handwashing. Have everyone wear masks and carry on. Yes, limit the number of people who go to the workplace and travel by public transportation, ”he said.
