In the latest instalment of Zooming with Zuma, former president Jacob Zuma has bemoaned the treatment he has received in democratic South Africa.
In a conversation with his son Duduzane Zuma on Wednesday, the former president said he felt he was being handled much like he had been in apartheid South Africa.
“The difference is that that was apartheid with its laws, unjust, and everybody knowing. The attitude of the judges was known then that if you appeared before the judge, they hated you because you were a terrorist.” “It is very scary that today as I face justice, I have a feeling which I think is correct that there’s certain courts that when I appear or when my matter appears, the attitude is almost the same as what I went through during my days as a freedom fighter.
