Johannesburg - The ANC has become the latest organisation to come out in support of Cooperative Governance Minister Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, who since Friday has become a target of hateful messages and hostile petitions after it was alleged that she is in favour of prolonged cigarette and booze ban.
"The ANC notes with dismay the continuing attacks on Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma for diligently carrying out her duties as the Minister responsible for the coordination of our country's national mitigation efforts, in terms of the Disaster Management Act of 2020... The party said Dlamini Zuma must remain focused and to continue with the excellent work that she is doing as part of the National Corona Command Council .
Meanwhile, Dlamini Zuma also got support from former ANC MP, Dr Makhosi Khoza. On Saturday Khoza took to Facebook to voice her support and said the Minister is being unfairly treated because of her former husband, Jacob Zuma.
