South Africans will ‘only attain freedom when the land is in our possession and when we have changed the economic outlook of our country’, says uMkhonto weSizwe Party leader Jacob Zuma.
Speaking at the weekend at the Eastern Cape funeral of anti-apartheid activist Phumelele Tokwe, who had joined the MK party in December, Zuma said anyone who believed South Africa had achieved freedom was ‘mistaken’.
News24 quotes Zuma as saying: ‘We went to jail during the struggle against apartheid and this country for the betterment of our country. Our struggle cannot be in vain.
‘I have said in public that I am not happy with the current situation in our country. I was hoping comrades would come to me to ask, “what went wrong?”, because we are in a mess.’
Zuma said: ‘As we go to the elections on 29 May, we need to make sure that we vote in a way that brings change to the people of the country.’
