The YouTube channel launched by Jacob Zuma and his son Duduzane has been described as a “mere smokescreen and public relations diversion meant to gain public sympathy given the looming arms deal corruption trial to be faced by the former president in June”
The new tell-all YouTube channel launched this week by former president Jacob Zuma and his son Duduzane has been described as a “mere smokescreen and public relations diversion meant to gain public sympathy given the looming arms deal corruption trial set to be faced by the former president in June”.
Speaking to City Press, Chikane said he did not want to be drawn into rehashing an unfortunate incident that occurred more than 20 years ago. This came after Duduzane opened up in the first instalment of the conversations about his mother’s suicide and hinted at who may have leaked the note to the media.
“This is malicious and untrue. The letter was later handed over to Jacob Zuma by Chikane, and later submitted to the inquest launched in 2001 investigating the December 8 2000 death.“All this was then made public and this is how the letter found its way to the media. In the video, Jacob Zuma and son make it seem like the letter was leaked immediately after the death, which is not so.
Responding to the allegations on Twitter, Chikane said: “As a matter of respect for Mama Comrade Kate Mantsho Zuma, I have decided not to respond to falsehoods about the suicide note. Comrade Jacob Zuma should take responsibility to correct his son because he knows the truth. I hope he has done so, or will still do it.”The source speaking to City Press questioned “why Zuma and his son only raised the alleged leaking of the letter.
“If you remember correctly, the police initially investigated the matter as though it was a murder case, and ignored what the victim had told Chikane, as well as the written suicide note.
