The daughter of former president Jacob Zuma and the ANC Youth League National Fund Raiser, Thuthukile Zuma says Finance Enoch Godongwana must step down amid sexual harassment allegations against him.

An employee of Kruger Shalati at Skukuza in the Kruger National Park, who was offering massage services to guests, has reportedly opened a case against Godongwana after he allegedly made sexual advances toward her.Godongwana must vacate office immediately because this case is serious.

Zuma says, “We all appreciate more, especially the African National Congress, that GBV is a scourge we really struggle to deal with in our country. It’s pervasive and of course, GBV is a manifestation of patriarchy, toxic masculinity and all those things but it’s something that we’ve taken a decision to fight seriously.”

“We feel women, especially young women, are not safe in our country. They are not safe to walk freely, they are not safe in social spaces and they’re not safe really anywhere and it’s something that must be taken seriously and the fight must be intensified,” says Zuma.Zuma says gender-based violence and femicide will continue to flourish in South Africa, because those in power are the forefront perpetrators of these crimes.

She made these assertions while addressing a crowd of people in Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape on Wednesday, where she was attending a court sitting in support of an assault victim. There have been growing calls for Godongwana to step aside following these allegations against him. The incident is alleged to have taken place last week, when Godongwana and his wife were on holiday at the park.“I was speaking outside court in PE after attending a case of a woman who was assaulted by 25 men and this during women’s month. GBV is a scourge that we really have to fight seriously and prioritise if you have a leader of that calibre who is accused of active sexual assault.

Did she tell her own father Jacob to step down when he raped the daughter of a colleague? If not, why not, as he did not. He continued to shame the country even further. So she must practice what she preaches.

This despicable woman, daughter of Jacob Zuma, should shut up bcoz she she is one of the beneficiaries of her father's ill begotten wealth.

Like Farher like daughter. The rot runs in the family

Could all just be a case of sour grapes when the gravy stops. So common these days. Remember our tigers issue? Cant wait to see how this plays out. Power versus money.

Remember Kwezi

Her father became a President after similar allegations

Her father was accused of raping daughter of his best friend. She has no right to comment on other persons accused of sexual harassment allegations of other people

⁶z

They are done with him now they are finished using him unfortunately nathi we are done with him... Clever blacks must go to hell we can't help the snakes👇👇👇

Not so long ago her father also stood accused.

Once he is charged then he must step down. For now let's wait.

No wonder we don't come forward as women on such cases. People find it so easy to relate issues that are not same,if it happened to her,it has nothing to do with what her father was accused of

They need to do a thorough investigation such allegations if not true they can destroy a person's life and career.

Oh, the irony😶

The Zuma faction is doing everything it can to destabilize Cyril's team so that they can get their cronies back to start the looting again.

She was supposed to sing the same song when his father was stealing from public purse... So she must shut up and sit down 👇 👇

durbanjozinites Did she say the same when her father was accused?

There are 2 sides to every accusation... so why rush into opinions until both sides are heard.

You can just call her by her name it's fine we will still get the massage

Did you ask her if she has said anything about her own father’s previous rape case? When did this activism start? Are you at least going to ask those questions or you just going to report everything she says? How do you make your editorial decisions?

We need them to step aside both Godongwane and the president of SA . Actually who must step aside and who must not? The law in SA is unfair

ANC Womens league issued the similar statement, hope it was also newworthy to you sabc.
