The former president's son has criticised government's way of curbing the spread of Covid-19, explaining how he would have done it instead.
Duduzane Zuma sit next to his father former president Jacob Zuma at the Randburg Magistrate Court in Johannesburg. Duduzane Zuma is facing a culpable homicide charge after crashing into a taxi in 2014.
Former president Jacob Zuma and his son Duduzane Zuma have published the second part of their interview in which they discuss the 2017 ANC conference, Deputy President David Mabuza and and the decisions taken to curb the spread of coronavirus in the country. “The total lockdown was excessive. Starvation has been a longstanding issue in South Africa but a complete lockdown only exacerbates them. But who are these decisions benefiting? I believe that a complete lockdown of South Africa was premature because of the results.
“Announcements that have been made are based on stakeholders but people on the streets are not included in those decisions. If you open borders for wine export, then what about the person who runs a car wash? If lobbying can happen where businesspeople can get their way, who is lobbying for the aunt and uncle on the ground?
