ATM president Vuyo Zungula has dismissed claims that the party was backed by former president Jacob Zuma as part of a plot to challenge the ANC.
"It is clear that this is a well-coordinated and well-funded project to seek to undermine the will of the people of South Africa who are yearning for real change in their lives through the ATM. Again it won't work because we did everything lawfully and by the book," said Zungula
He said there has been no solid evidence such as photographs or recordings proving Zuma's link to ATM. Zungula said the party would continue existing despite being unfairly targeted. "We are two days before the elections, we have overcome all obstacles thrown at us. We overcame hurdles because we focused on our mission of winning these elections so that we are in a position to provide solutions to the problems faced in our country," said Zungula
"It is clear those who hold power are very much frightened by such a party that doesn't have celebrities endorsing it, a big budget, media coverage and has no Groote Schuur Minute nor Codesa baggage," said Zungula.
