Duduzane Zuma has come to the defense of his father, former President Jacob Zuma, amid growing calls for him to appear again before the state capture commission.
During a brief interview on SABC3 on Monday, Duduzane said her father felt he was treated unfairly after the commission requested his and his daughters’ bank statements.
“It feels like they are treating him unconstitutionally,” Duduzane said.
Duduzane, who is in Dubai, said he would soon be traveling back to South Africa and would make a big announcement. When asked if he was going to found a political party, he laughed but did not dismiss speculation.
“I think everyone should have some role in politics … wherever they need me, I am there,” he said.
While his name has been associated with corruption, Duduzane said this was “unnecessary” as he had cooperated with law enforcement officials.
“It is unnecessary… I have faced the music. I don’t know how much people want from me, ”he said, while arguing that he had used the Zondo commission and attended a court case against him despite living in Dubai.
In August this year, Duduzane supported former eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede, who was reassigned as MPL in KZN despite corruption charges hanging over his head.
Many demonstrated against the measure, which he still defended.
He said that it was the constitutional nature of SA to paint those accused of corruption guilty despite not having been declared so by the courts.
“I was just showing support, saying keep fighting,” he said.
Duduzane said he was very convinced of the matter because he also had an unpleasant experience with the law. He said that the investigations were not carried out properly and many files disappeared in many cases.
He also used the platform to claim that he was not on social media, but that there were multiple accounts in his name.
