OPINION: The main beneficiary from this release of former president Jacob Zuma will be the ANC. Had Zuma remained in jail as the elections continued, the ANC would have performed worse than in 2016 writes Professor Bheki Mngomezulu.

Secondly, it is not the first time that someone has been released from jail on medical parole. Not so long ago, Schabir Shaik was released through this method. Certainly, this is not the last time that something like this happens.Undoubtedly, the release of Zuma has come as blessing to the ANC in many ways. Firstly, the manner in which Zuma was treated by some of his comrades left a sour taste in his mouth.

Fourthly, to add salt to the already festering wound, the ANC was unable to register some of its candidates. In its own defence, it complained about technical glitches with the IEC’s system. However, this argument did not hold water since other political parties were able to meet the set deadline. In the end, this accusation proved to be baseless since the Constitutional Court ruled that the election should continue in 2021 and directed that a date should be set between October 27 and November 1 2021. Subsequently, Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma set the date to November 1 2021.

The second reason is that the release of Zuma will avert voter apathy which would have been occasioned by his incarceration – which was perceived to be unfair by a large number of South Africans. The fact that Zuma was jailed without any formal trial reminded the nation of the ugly old days of apartheid.

What shit blessing ?

What are the medical conditions regualtions

All going to plan, in other words..

Well scripted, top down

Strategic move to release the old man.

It's not a blessing, its a calculated move.

No blessing. It was planned by CyrilRamaphosa and after the next two elections we will call him and the MYANC to account for their actions like the old NP was made to account

Kanjani? How? 🤔

Of course it is; it was planned like that!

Now is clear that d pushing of local elections by ANC n EFF to 2024 has nothing to do with Covid rather was a political ploy

I noticed a crowd of people testifying about Mrs sarahjeffchroni helping them earn from trading.. so I decided to give her a try and to my greatest surprise before 5 working days I received my profit . I guess someone might need her help as well 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 sarahjeffchroni

Blessing

Why do you think Cyril endorsed this illegal release.

A blessing? I thought it's blow....

With satan by theire side they do look more in character

Kusho ban?

Hebaaaan. So Cyril made a media campaign call for Anc...

The MYANC orchestrated his release in a bid to save votes. They act irresponsibly and will bypass laws & rules to get what they want. They have created an irresponsible 'president'. The ANC needs to realize the citizens of SA isn't blind or dumb we see what you are doing!!

Pure nonsense, rubbish...

Damn! SouthAfrica 's justice system sucks! Zuma, his phonies, familie members, friends and members of parliament drained SA and stole trillions. Zuma goes to jail for a few days, have unspecific surgery and goes home! Geez! What's next? Why bother having a justice system?

I was referred to him by a friend online and I thought is a scam ...but I was moved to try and here I earned.. just want to share this to people too. Micheal_addy_

Having you as my account manager makes me a champion I kept on cashing out weekly, I recommend you all to him Micheal_addy_

Who can face Zuma? It's better to hide.

Work with someone who will bring positive changes into your life LisaDonalldT has brought peace into my life and that of my house hold and I will always appreciate her for the good work.

Zuma must not campaign for this evil party

😂😂😂😂
