Former President Jacob Zuma’s branch in Nkandla has defended its decision to nominate him for the position of ANC national chairperson.
However, representatives of his ANC branch believe he is a suitable candidate because he has already served in government and no longer has ambitions for deployment.Some people say his release paves the way for him to attend the closely contested ANC national conference in December.
Chairperson of the ANC Msholozi branch, Bonguthando Mbambo in Nkandla believes Zuma can still play a role in the ANC. Villagers near Zuma’s Nkandla homestead have described his release from correctional services as a relief.
