by Sergio Miller

If there’s one thing to admire about Gareth Cliff, it has to be the fact he does not shy away from giving his most honest opinion, however, his most recent ahead of the elections have raised several eyebrows.

The radio presenter and former Idols SA judge has recently left many people stunned after sharing a tweet highlighting that he would not mind voting for Jacob Zuma’s Mkhonto WeSizwe (MK) party.

The tweet came as a preference on which political party he preferred in which he stated:

“If you gave me only a choice of voting for Rise Mzansi, ANC, Mkhonto weSizwe or EFF ; I would vote for MK. I’m not joking.”

Taking to the comment sections many locals appeared to have been baffled by Gareth’s preference, particularly given the fact that their party leader Jacob Zuma has been at the forefront of many of the corruption scandals that occurred during his presidential reign.

This ultimately affected the collapse of many State-Owned Enterprises.

Meanwhile there are others we felt that South Africa needed change, and supported Gareth, highlighting that the new parties should be given an opportunity to prove themselves

It is not the first time the podcaster shared his admiration for the newly formed party.

In February this year, he praised the MK party for their policy, claiming that it is much better than both the ANC and EFF.

On Wednesday South Africans from all parts of the country will have an opportunity to make their votes count on the day of the when elections start on 29 May.
