Former president Jacob Zuma says he is being singled out on the arms deal scandal.
In Zuma's view, while he has been branded “corrupt” relating to his alleged role in the arms deal, those who took part in it were living comfortably.
“Just look at how my name has been dragged and destroyed by a democratic and justice kind of society I believe I have fought for,” said Zuma. “That is unfortunate that I find myself being named as I was named by the racists that I was a terrorist when I was fighting for the freedom of South Africa. “This has worried me a great deal as to what type of society are we talking about. Are we different from how those in authority handled us during apartheid than those in authority today?“But all people who participated in the arms deal are free [and] comfortable [while] I have been singled out as the most corrupt.”It was for this reason that he believed that the court trial would help “so that we can find where is this corruption”.
In part seven of the show where Zuma is asked leading questions by his son Duduzane to be released this week, Zuma will also speak about his experiences as a political prisoner and a freedom fighter pre-1994.
