Zuma throws his weight behind corruption-accused Durban mayor

Former president Jacob Zuma and eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede honour Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s retired lead Joseph Shabalala with a certificate of appreciation during the Essence Festival All Star music concert in November 2016.Former president Jacob Zuma has vowed to show under-fire eThekwini mayor Zandile Gumede"the same support that she has shown me for the past decade".

Gumede was a known political ally of the former president. She, and two others, appeared in court on Tuesday on corruption, fraud and racketeering charges. They were granted R50,000 bail each. Nine others had previously faced charges linked to the alleged corruption. Taking to Twitter on Sunday - the day before he was due to appear in court as part of his own corruption case - Zuma said that he had"learned" of the charges against Gumede.I shall show Comrade Zandile Gumede the same support that she has shown me for the past decade. Be strong my Leader, this too shall pass.He said he hoped the charges were"not politically motivated and that the state has enough evidence to substantiate this charge".

On Monday, Zuma was due to appear in the high court in Pietermaritzburg in relation to decade old charges related to the controversial Arms Deal. The court is due to deal with an application for a permanent stay of prosecution.

Well the criminals must support each other. Tne mayor could learn how to obsfucate the legal process and get postponements forever

Sewerage system

Thugs of a feather, thug together 🤷🏽‍♂️

Peas in a pod

Birds of a feather flocks together

KgadiyaBashia Birds of the same feather

He will all corrupt official

What's new?Birds of the same feathers flock always flock together

Birds of the same feather and comrades in arms.

Naturally 🤭🤭🤭let them all hold hands in the dock. At least they'll feel each others warmth👰

For obvious reasons

Birds of the same feathers...

Feathers of the same bird flock together🤐🤐

Thugs are starting to fall one by one

Before people talk crap, the question that should be asked is WHY. Are there any other details about this matter we don't know...?

Birds of a feather and all that! 🙄🤨😏🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

LucidualLady Pot calling the kettle black !

Not surprised at all

Unfortunate ately his weight isn't felt

Birds of the same feathers

Birds of feather...

Most corrupt politicians KZN, political killings KZN, Taxi violence KZN, high HIV infections KZN because they don’t go to the mountains, that province shud be declared as ZULU Land and exclude it as being South Africans

Birds of the same feathers

As any corrupt politician would!

The mayor had good reason to support Zuma !!!! You now why?visit Zondo Commission you find the answer.

JZ must support his corruption alliances for fear of being listed and arrested himself. Always siding with the corrupt

Birds of a feather neh

Is he going to be character witness? 😂😂😂

I like how people try to cherry pick through the rot of ANC, the MK are the ANC. They have flocked KZN as its the only Metro ANC has full control. Now these two are part of the chain, which is the ANC

He has to protect one of his income sources. They are all closing their gates one by one.

Of course he does, birds of a feather etc

The silence in calling for the apartheid thieves and beneficiaries that stole R339 bn between 76 -94 is so loud. No-one is calling for FW De Klerk, Wouter Basson, superspy Craig Williamson, Conie Mulder, Magnus Malana few from the list to account. I guess equality is just dream

What weight ... He can throw whatever but both are going to the same prison

Yet when Helen zille points this out we black people are quick to say that is racism...all these fucken ANC are crooks of note

Nothing strange about this....in fact it is expected.

Dont drag Mshengu into this, you dont have pics of Zuma and Zandile ?

..what a low & cheap person..not a statesman at all this thief

6 and 9. Yinto eyOne🙄

Defending his allies, perhaps 🤷🏾‍♀️

Birds of the same feathers bla bla..

Zuma can't do sh*t, he is going to jail himself.

Naturally...birds of a feather and such

Every master is always behind his student

We heard that they are saying she was arrested bcs she speaks Zulu. They are telling people to be ready for war. Their problem is that they think that their superior to other tribes

The kiss of death and PresJGZuma should have known to keep this private. And Twitter why doesn't he have a checkmark already?

Remember Jacob Zuma was Honored in Nigeria with a Statue, the corrupt tend to support one another.

They was there together in the crooked place!!

Zuma is not a corruption fighter because himself & his cronies are implicated in corruption!!!!! They plot will be defeated by ANC!!!!! ANC is not corrupt & corrupt fat cats & money mongers must step aside!!!!!

Birds of the same feather fly together

From One Thieve To Another, Birds Of Same Feathers Flock Together.

What is politically motivated? Wht does it mean. Where exactly in the more than 700 charges does it fit?

Honour among thieves!

Thieves protects each others
