Supporters of former president Jacob Zuma are holding their breath to see whether he will in fact make an appearance at the ’welcome home’ rally they started planning as soon as he was granted medical parole.
Among those expected to attend today’s rally are senior members of the Umkhonto we Sizwe Military Veterans Association such as Carl Niehaus, RET Forces members like Nkosentsha Shezi and KwaZulu-Natal Interfaith Council members like Bishop Vusi Dube of the eThekwini community church.
Zuma has not made any public appearance since he was released from a military hospital in Pretoria a few weeks back. Dube who is one of the organisers of the rally, said they were hopeful that Zuma would still come to Durban and take part in the rally, adding that the rally would be held in compliance with Covid-19 regulations.“We are expecting 2000 people and that will be in accordance with Covid-19 regulations,” Dube told Independent Media on Wednesday.
