Jacob Zuma is no stranger to shaking tables. But his meeting with the Black First, Land First party (BLF) has caused a significant stir.
The organisation are somewhat reviled by many citizens of Mzansi, due to their constant use of hate speech and threats made towards both voters and journalists.
In fact, they only just managed to scrape on to the ballot paper for the 2019 Elections, after they were hit by a raft of complaints about their divisive campaigns. They are still facing a court challenge from Freedom Front Plus, who have taken offence to their “no whites” membership policy.
Some members grabbed selfies with Zuma Jnr, whereas others engaged in conversation with uBaba before and after proceedings were in session. This uncomfortable association seems to have only got stronger, though.
Msholozi invited the entire senior delegation of the BLF to his home in KZN. Party leader Andile Mngxitama handed the former president a Zulu shield, which apparently symbolised “defence and fighting the enemy”.
