Dlamini-Zuma legitimised the Guptas – Malema
Johannesburg – African Union Commission chairperson Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma's dealings with the Gupta family are worse than those of her ex-husband, President Jacob Zuma, EFF leader Julius Malema has claimed.
"The [ex-]wife of Zuma, she is worse. The [Gupta] security said Dlamini-Zuma frequents this house like she has her own room,” Malema, who was dressed in a black tuxedo, told an Economic Freedom Fighters gala dinner at Montecasino on Saturday night.
He was referring to a report in Friday’s Mail & Guardian, which was based on interviews with some of the Gupta family’s former bodyguards.
“Dlamini-Zuma receiving that award legitimised the Guptas. Yet we say she is better than Zuma. She is not."
Dlamini-Zuma is rumoured to be contesting the position of ANC leader once Zuma's term ended. In 2015, Gupta-owned broadcaster ANN7, named her “South African of the Year”.
