Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, daughter of former South African president Jacob Zuma, is expected to appear in court facing charges of terrorism under the Protection of Constitutional Democracy Against Terrorist and Related Activities Act. The charges stem from alleged incitement of violence during the July 2021 riots, based on a forensic report analyzing her Twitter activity.
Zuma-Sambudla is expected to appear in the Durban Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.A legal analyst said the X posts by former president Jacob Zuma ’s daughter and uMkhonto weSizwe party MP Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla may “suffice” in proving that she allegedly incited terrorism.The former president’s daughter will reportedly be charged in terms of Section 14 of the Protection of Constitutional Democracy Against Terrorist and Related Activities Act.
“I think it is interesting that Mr Paul O’Sullivan created this dossier on the basis of tweets because it is immediate evidence related to what Duduzile was actually undertaking under account. She may say that it wasn’t her that was tweeting, but she hasn’t said that up to now. But it may suffice, because that is the voice and the conduct through the medium of Twitter,” Phiri said.She used this expression during the July unrest that followed her father’s arrest in July 2021.
It is alleged the anarchy was triggered by the arrest of former president Jacob Zuma, who was in contempt of a Constitutional Court order. During the weeklong mayhem, shops and factories were closed, and the total cost to the economy was said to be more than R50 billion.
