Jacob Zuma Foundation

[upbeat music] Let us turn our attention now to a man who, it's probably the most, um, newsworthy week in a very long time for him for a number of reasons.

He's here in his personal capacity, I must stress, because he's not here as a, as a spokesperson or a president or an, a, a chairperson of the JG Zuma Foundation.

He's also not here as his day job, which is an MKMP, but it's very good to see you, Mzwanele Manyi.

How are you, sir?

I think 30 days is within, like, civil judgments.

But, I mean, it's now that judgment was handed down on the 14th of May, and we approached the state to say, "Look, what's going on?" And they said, "Look, nothing has happened." And that was despite the fact the JG Zuma Foundation came out in the wake of that judgment and were very vociferous in their condemnation of it, said it was full of legal and factual errors and erroneous, and that he would be appealing it, and that simply hasn't happened.

Yeah.

A-and what does the decision not to appeal then mean for the case?

Well, I mean, th- it's, it fundamentally contradicts what, you know, happened in the aftermath of that 14th May this year, twenty twenty-six ruling by Chili.

Because the Jacob GG Zuma Foundation came out very vociferously and condemned that judgment and said, you know, um, it's erroneous and full of legal and, and factual errors and, you know, he-- we should have waited.

The, the court should have waited for the SCA's various judgments, um, on these other cases, these other appeals that have now been dropped by him.

Um, but that appeal simply did not materialize.

However, when coupled with the recent petrol price hike, this is very expensive for motorists.

The Jacob Zuma Foundation has reported that the former president and leader of the MK party has been discharged from the hospital.

The foundation says Zuma is still in Netcase in Anne's Hospital in Pietermaritzburg, Kozelunetaal.

That is where he, according to his party, deserves an investigation.

SABC News, independent and impartial.

The Jacob Zuma Foundation has appealed to the President Cyril Ramaphosa and the Presidency to ensure proper maintenance of the Nkandla homestead.

The foundation says the upkeep of the residence through public works and the replacement of his, uh, its aging vehicle fleet warrants serious consideration.

The foundation spokesperson, Zwanelis Manie, joins us on the line.

... uh, what, uh, President Zuma is being put through by the government.

All right.

Jacob Zuma Foundation spokesperson, Zwanelis Manie.

Thank you so much for your time.

Being treated by the doctors, the President has also assigned the Sergeant General to lead that process and therefore must leave those questions.

This comes as spokesperson for the Jacob Zuma Foundation, Mzwanele Manyi, has criticised the intense media coverage of the former president's hospitalisation.

Manyi has taken to social media to question the attention given to Zuma compared to Deputy President Paul Machatile's reported illness and accused the media of fuelling speculation and public anxiety.

And finally to the Eastern Cape, where Forestry, Fisheries and Environment Minister David Manier has declared a new national park in the province to protect grasslands, biodiversity and important water sources.
