Former President Jacob Zuma has called on the KwaZulu-Natal government to discuss how people who died during South Africa’s struggle for democracy can be honoured.

He was speaking at a commemoration for those who died during the height of political violence in the 1980s and 1990s in Umgababa, south of Durban.Some members of the Umkhonto Wesizwe Military Veterans joined the families of those who died.Zuma says many people paid the ultimate price for democracy.

“I believe the families who lost their loved ones during the struggle will be happy if they know that on certain days their loved ones are remembered, I wish remembrance like this one can be discussed by the provincial government as in other areas as well there were people who died but nothing is done to honour or remember them, their families need to know that their loved ones are our heroes of the democracy we are enjoying today.

“We are supposed to be united and focus on leading the country. Listen, we are going to the conference there is so much wrong, with our comrades who died during the struggle. If they were to be given a chance to look at us what they will say about us? We need to fix our organisation,” he adds.

Isnt this man dead already?

Ka SESOTHO gothwe le nyela sediba period

Dont think you will get my vote in 2024 im still mad gore you gave my mother's killer parole after serving only 2years in jail even though she voted for Mandela to become President. Le nyela sediba halefetsa goga metsi lenwa.forgetting gore 4years you need water again

Haba tene ka seo meleko e ya anc thats all they know honor and corruption nxa

Maybe he should visit Pretoria! Freedom park has a wall with all their names!!

He will give the tender to the Gupta

Kanjalo.. Ilamasimba.. Ngeke.. Engathi sekwenziwa abant iylima mnje with this struggle.. 😒

Who's gonna fund that and Who's gonna manage the funds,Dudu ?. Desperate to open closed taps I guess.

That thief is desperately gasping for relevance

I think lot of people died during the struggle not because they were anc members but ordinary people who could not afford simplistic things like clean drinking water,housing etc and it still continues as we speak.

A stale fart just floated by.

I wonder how many lost their lives as the result of Zuma?

Why didn't he honour during his tenure crazy old man.

how can you honour someone who is already Dead you already payed yourself how much more does you Want greeedy old man and confused

As an elder he should be advising not fighting for positions wt youth

What about the 300 who died during the KZN looting caused by Zuma's arrest?

Is he talking about the ANC killing off IFP members because they the IFP were the majority pre 1994? The ANC greed to attain power was one of Killing “The Peoples War” therefore the ANC government must pay reparations 👏🙄👏👏 VoetsekJacobZuma CyrilRamaphosa VoetsekANC

When is enough can we not move forward can we honour the new generation with proper governance

Sies🤮

Influence 🤣🤣😅🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Why KZN only... Msholozi the tribalist?

Wonder if this will include the people murdered in Camp Quattro Angola under his watch.

For how long. We must also honor South Africans who suffered torturing whom their history has been been written because we're not Leaders. In order to honor them, all politicians in Parliament must donate R3000 in poverty alleviation programs.

I FULLY AGREE WITH YOU COMRADE ZUMA/ THOSE WHO COMMITTED MURDERS MUST GO TO JAIL! NO ONE BETTER TO EFFECT SUCH ARRESTS THAN JUDGES N THE PRESIDENT

Should focus on how to assist those that were affected by the floods

They can be honoured by the current leadership realizing the efforts of their struggles. So stop stealing. Look after the country. Do your jobs. Create a peaceful and prosperous enviroment for citizens to thrive and be happy. Thats what the struggle was about. Not money for JZ

Does this include all the innocent people that were murdered by the terrorist attacks, perpetrated by the anc?

No. There's no money.

Try not stealing from the poor...

Ya nee..if I remember correctly....his the one who declared Late Chris Hanni's Crave as a Herritage Site.

What about those alive today and poor under anc governance?

Is this his Damascus moment. When did the lightning strike him?

We should start with cde 'Thami Zulu'

Can he just shut up he failed at the top

What did he do during his time as president, showerman wa lapisha

But SA isnt a democracy, its a one party dictatorship

They should focus on service delivery, that is the only way to honour them.

Poes

This retired failed stripper is trying to make his come back with more pole dancing and it's really pathetic because he had the entire 9 years to change people's life's and he spectacularly failed to do so

How about the July unrest victims?

Does this include those who lost their lives in Camp Quatro.

Cheap political stunt by the old corrupt fool. Zuma

Imo the SACPANC regime needs to apologise for the USSR backed armed insurgency and the indiscriminate terror directed at the civilian population and the peoples war. Only then will they be in a position to duly honour also all those they killed for democracy and human rights.

Why didn't he do that when he was a president?

Why was he not doing it during his turner?

We dont have time for this shit, the country has more urgent and important things to attend to...fuck struggle veterans honouring nonsense.

He must also honor those looters and ones killed by racist indians during that useless uprisings by his thugs/zombies

Delayed. Only now. Trying to be relevant.

Why is he given publicity?

What KZN only? He’s supposed to care about all struggle heroes because he’s the former president of the entire country and ANC, a national organization

And your one of them msholozi please stop it

Maybe one way will be to remove and claim back all the money stolen by the corrupt anc cadres whose actions are not what the people who died during the struggle died for.

He was the President and did nothing

Why is he pushing for things he failed to do? Can't he just hibernate and disappear from wanting attention.

Honor the living with jobs so that the dead will be proud of their sacrifice

Well said sir I completely applaud your wisdom

You should go to jail to honour them.

Let me take a couple of billion rands and them you can forgive me too.

U failed to do that in your 9 wasted years instead you honoured Eugene de Kock

What Honour them by being honest and doing good for all South Africans

He can honour them by asking the Guptas to return the money they stole from SA

I don't honor the dead because they played their part. We are the living breed not the dead. What did they do for us JacobZuma or the ANC. Nothing but i can tell you that all those Arabs kid sleep with full stomach and electricity.

Has he just got up from slumber .Somebody remind him he was once president of this country .

Why don't he discuss how the people that died last July in the riots can be honoured...?

Zuma is a clown of all time, for 9 waisted years that good idea never crossed his mind and why only maskandi nation.

What about the people died during July unrest

He must go ask Eugene De Kock

Well at his age of closer to being an ancey, he has already spiritually joined other Dlozis that is why he's advocating for honouring the dead. Kuba kanje masuzoshona nawe, ukhuluma ulimu lwabantu abashonile🤣🤣🤣🤣.

During his time he was busy with the Guptas. He just woke up now and makes noise.

Zuma number 1 Askari

Well, a good start would be to remove all the corrupt dudes such as Jacob, and locking them up nice and tight in prison where they should be, no?

Too little too late!!!! Zuma must go to jail!!!!!!

He can go to jail! Let’s start there

These people can only ever celebrate struggle heroes of the past because not a single one of them had done a heroic thing worth celebrating in 30 years.

JZ was the president for 2 terms and he focused on developing black peoples lives, in sense of skills, finance and good public services, this is his continuous those who removed him knew he was still going to do even more and they hated that. viva Zuma

He should've honoured them during his term as the president insisted of stealing.

When he was a president, he was busy selling the country to the Guptas, he must back off please, he likes to be a populist.

He had himself of trying to benefit......he's a victim of struggle of democracy

Pls let’s worry about getting today right, get ppl jobs, building economy, get police , traffic , healthcare, schooling going first before we worry abt the dead

How far did his music recording go as an up and coming musician before he embarks on this new project?

i thought it has been done since they were freed, or is he talking about changing the way it`s been done,

niehaus_carl; MzwaneleManyi; DZumaSambudla; tyengeni1954; azania1023; LindiweSisuluSA & JGZ_Foundation - look who is talking? You benefited Guptas, your handlers, and forgot about the MK Cadres' welfare! Talk is cheap!

So it didn't dwell on him while he was president to do this?

Why now 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️

MavoSthe What about those who died in exile while he was a commander?

They could be honoured by delivering on the promises made to them. Giving they're children the freedom the fought and died for. Like build a monument with no middle man and no one lining there own pockets.

Why didn't he honour them when he was the president? He was busy entertaining the Guptas, and he is only seeing this now...

Good suggestion however, Why didn't he start the program when he had all the powers to....Oldman must rest, he is yesterday's man

🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are not relevant

Get over yourself

Rerig 😂😂

I understand!

What did he do about it when he was president for 9 years?

He didn't honour those who died looting for him.

L O O T I N G V I B E S. And before yall bite my head off, why is he only calling on the KZN government?!

The restaurant can be dedicated to them & they get a share in the profits...

Lerete le le nagana gore Afrika Borwa ke la yona,m'sono wa mmage bann!

Something he couldn't do as a sitting president. He honoured the Guptas & gave them all powers earned thru the blood & sacrifices of the oppressed Africans throughout the world 🌎. He's being opportunistic coz when he was in power he didn't even listen to his own comrades

It must include those who died during the unrest .

Including those who died at his hands in boms

Why can't this kak just rest. It is everywhere

But he was the president for 9 years, why didn’t he address it while he was in power?

What stop him to do that when he was still a president

Lets include heroes who were not in the ANC this round. Its gettting obvious

He had 3285 days to do it and now he wants use their families to campaign his come back - thanks God people have seen him for he is - a celebrity dancer & poet

Why didn’t he do it when he was the president this man should rest serious leave this country politics he did his part succeeded in some things and failed in others things 😳

Why didn't he do this while he was president?

Why didn't he START while he was the useless president ! Can family advs this old man to take a break rest and enjoy his pension years agaaaaaa! 9 years he cud have used to DO ALL WHAT HE IS MAKING NOISE ABOUT!

Why didn’t he discuss this during his 9 year term as a president of the ANC and of the country because he had all power with him to do that.

Distraction 🥱

He must say his anc comrades

he banna, was is he ordering people around? he was a president for 9years and he never raised such, why now? Zuma is destroying the ANC piece by piece, so the current leadership must stop what they're doing & do what he didn't do during his tenure? his such a bully.

Give them all Firepools and Free Jail Cards.

These old fossils are all fixated in the past..ppl live in poverty & struggling now & he's only concerned with honouring the dead bcos he's living luxurious life at taxpayers expense

It backfired real quick.

What did he do during his tenure apart from loot rape and fool around

Does it include those who were violated and suffered the trauma of rape by their own comrades?

a former president who sold SA out during his presidency... sorry he ain't got shit to say, he's a traitor

We need to know first hand about those that died in exile in the camps so called imbokodo, the ones that we have never heard of before

He is not talk about families of July looting but he thank them for dying for his selfish conduct of not respecting the constitution of the Republic, people died people we must not ignore that fact and no talk about those families

Zoomzoom.. are you referring to the 'elite few' or are you talking about the millions of citizens?

What was he waiting for during his presidency. What was blocking him to do that?

Did someone tell him theres money somewhere to looted? Wa gafa di man

Yes, but let's first start with July unrest deaths in KZN.

Discuss.....discuss.....discuss....I can't believe he's still thinking like a ruralitarian......why not all, why only kzn based? Why now?

i think more upgrades need to be done at Nkandla and dedicated to the struggle heros , would be a great way to honour them

After 30 years, of which he was in charge for 9 years? You can’t make this shit up

And those died during the riots last year?

He means the ones killed in the fighting between the ANC and IFP!!!!

Zuma must use own money to honour those heroes. We have honored these guys already with cushy ministerial positions

Ngapha he freed Eugene de kok who murdered the same struggle heroes. Gave him a house and 40k a month of our taxes

Discuss how people can fix KZN from the disaster it has become. Honor the whistleblower by protecting their lives from the murderous ANC tenderpreneur and crony cadres. Fixed it for you Zupta.

Miners in Marikana were murdered under his watch, never even set foot there .

He is desperately trying to be relevant this one. He spent 9 years twerking for the Guptas when he was supposed to lead the government.

Is this oke still not in jail?

Lobaba agame tu bcs eletric troubles

Lets start with 'nikwenze na kwa banye'

Including these

Always looking for and creating opportunities to loot.... He has nobody's interest at heart

He was the President of the country for 9 wasted years and it is now he talks about honoring people who died during struggle?

Attention seeker🙄

This man has become a regional leader. How the mighty have fallen! 😏

This is a perfect example of distraction and populism in one go.

It must be done not discussed. Noting that it is too late.

As long as they won't touch tax payers money especially with high unemployment & poverty

What stopped him from honouring them when he was in power, this is one of the regret & power drunk of most of our Africa leaders, they failed to do the rightful when they have the power & authority until they leave the corridor power before they realized.

What about the ones who died during the floods and still struggling.

We should honour with our deeds and not just our words.

Honor them by living up to the democratic institutionalism that they fought for.

Like attention Zuma if wanted that should done when he was president Mxiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmm

It a narrow view, in my opinion. Former President understands how government works and therefore this is just gaslighting victims and politicking. He has been in ANC leadership for most of his life, he should answer as to why no reparations for natives was not demanded. Elections

He looks very wealthy and so does his friend Shabir

He was head of State for 9 years & never thought how to honor struggle heroes & heroines; his mission was to honor None Struggle Indian Family; the Guptas. All of a sudden he pretends to care. I don't buy this opportunistic nobility.

What happen to this man Kanti🤔

Why didn't he do all that during the 9 wasted years?

Jacob Zuma was the president for two terms and the idea to honour fallen heroes comes now, wasted nine years indeed.

Will it include those who died in MK camps in exile?

Nonsense

Always putting people first, not this scam

SAns of today are the real struggling heroes.

In 2022 while the country has highest unemployment rate & increasing poverty

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

South africans should start honoring themselves as we are correctly struggling. 2024 is do or die as a country...

How can the South Africans alive today be honoured with reliable electricity?

He needs to honour those who died for him in the July 21' riots

Another way of wanting to steal money

Shem... desperate for attention.

But he didn't do it on his term
