Amid expectations that former President Jacob Zuma would grace the KZNSOPA and make his first official appearance of the year, the ex-national leader was a no-show.
Durban - Amid expectations that former President Jacob Zuma would grace the 2020 KZN State of the Province Address and make his first official appearance of the year, the ex-national leader was a no-show.
However, KZN Premier Sihle Zikalala told the gathering that Zuma was still recovering from an undisclosed illness, hence the no-show. Zuma recently returned to a rowdy welcome by his supporters from Cuba where he was receiving medical treatment. Also unable to attend the gathering was Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini who according to Zikalala was down with some undisclosed ailment.
