Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, daughter of former President Jacob Zuma, has been charged with inciting terrorism and public violence related to the July 2021 riots that resulted in over 300 deaths and billions of rand in economic damage. GOOD Party secretary-general Brett Herron expressed hope that the charges reflect the strength of the case and emphasized the importance of justice being seen to be done. He revealed that evidence implicating over 100 alleged instigators was handed over to the Hawks, including information from WhatsApp groups focused on the riots.
She faces charges of incitement to commit terrorism and two counts of incitement to commit public violence.
“We reject the narrative that she is being charged to settle a political score,” Herron said, emphasising that justice must be seen to be done. He also pointed to the presence of “hidden hands” — alleged masterminds behind the violence who operated outside of these digital forums.
