When Ramaphosa took to the podium, delegates broke into song - singing the “wenzeni uzuma” which translates to “what has zuma done?”
DURBAN- African National Congress president Cyril Ramaphosa was booed as he arrived at the party’s KwaZulu-Natal elective conference. He eventually managed to address the crowd at the Olive Convention Centre in Durban, despite the unwelcome reception.
When he took to the podium delegates broke into song - singing the “wenzeni uZuma” which translates to “what has Zuma done”. KwaZulu-Natal is a stronghold of former president Jacob Zuma. Security was beefed up ahead of Ramaphosa’s arrival on Sunday after detractors threatened to make the province a no-go zone for Ramaphosa.
KZN is the ANC’s largest province, which continues to show some resistance against Ramaphosa since his rise to power in 2017. Zuma was also jailed for 15 months for being in contempt of the constitutional court last year. He is still on medical parole.
