In just a few days from now, South Africans will be going out in numbers to cast their vote in the seventh democratic elections which are set to take place on the 29th of this month.

This is an exciting time for many who wish to keep their parties in power and those looking to give other political parties a chance at running our country.

In the build up to this year’s election, we have seen a few newly formed political parties such as Umkhonto Wesizwe (MKP), which is led by former president Jacob Zuma. The former ANC Secretary General Ace Magashule formed his own party after branching out of the ruling party, naming it the African Congress for Transformation (ACT).

Former newspaper editor Songezo Zibi also introduced a new party called Rise Mzansi (RISE). While Jacob Zuma’s son Duduzane Zuma decided not to join his father’s MKP, branching out to form the All Game Changers (AGC).

During the EFF’s community addresses, the outspoken EFF Commissar and Member of Parliament Dr Mbuyiseni Ndlozi spoke about Jacob Zuma’s quest for political power as he leads MKP, after serving in the ANC government for two decades.

Addressing the EFF Community Meeting in Orlando, Soweto, Mbuyiseni said:

“Please Nxamalala (Zuma), go home and rest. You had your chance! Zuma, you had your chance. For 20 years Zuma was in government as a deputy president, as an MEC, as a president. What is Zuma going to do that he did not do as a president?”

Addressing old people in the crowd, he said:

“Even you granny, at 80 years, you won’t get employment.”
