Fees Must Fall activist Bonginkosi Khanyile has embarked on a campaign to demand the release of former president Jacob Zuma from prison, arguing that jailing a 79-year-old man is unjust. FreeJacobZuma DaliMpofu Zondo

On Monday, just before 1pm, Khanyile and Philani Nduli, a member of the EFF student command in KwaZulu-Natal, stormed the Pietermaritzburg High Court precinct, shouting on top of their voices, demanding that Zuma be released.

The former president is serving a 15-month sentence for contempt of court at the Estcourt Correction Centre in KwaZulu-Natal. “We greet the police, we greet the soldiers, we greet the communities. We are saying we are not fighting against anyone, we are not fighting against police officers, we are not fighting against the soldiers, but we are requesting you all to support Msholozi, President Zuma, he is 79 years of age, he is imprisoned during the pandemic in jail.

As the police and army started gathering around Khanyile and Nduli, they continued demanding the release of Zuma as they left. They moved across the city of Pietermaritzburg, calling for his release.

Who gets to define what an 'activist' is... Seems to me whoever msm calls an 'activist' the public just accept their definition... The faeces throwing amoebas were also hailed as 'activists'.. Warped

Wasn't he arrested during Zuma's tenure at the presidency?

Why is IOL giving these two clowns airtime? Slow day at the office or some politcal motivation ?
