Jacob Zuma Takes Campaign to ANC Stronghold Soweto
Former South African President Jacob Zuma campaigned in Soweto ahead of the May 29 general election. His new party, uMkhonto weSizwe, challenges the ANC in a crucial stronghold. Current President Cyril Ramaphosa also campaigns intensively, focusing on economic issues.
Former South African President Jacob Zuma demonstrated significant support in Soweto while campaigning for the upcoming general election on May 29.
The rally in Orlando Stadium featured Zulu warriors, traditional dancers, and notable performers such as rapper Big Zulu and 'disco king' Papa Penny.
Having resigned from the ANC, Zuma is now leading the new uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) party.
His campaign aims to challenge the ANC’s influence, particularly in politically symbolic areas like Soweto.
ANC leader and current President Cyril Ramaphosa continues his own campaign, focusing on economic issues and downplaying smaller parties like MK.
The upcoming elections are set to be one of South Africa’s most significant political moments since the end of apartheid in 1994.
