Former South African President Withdraws Support from Ruling Party, Criticizes Current President | WION

Posted by

In a shocking turn of events, South Africa’s former President, Jacob Zuma, has withdrawn his support from the ruling African National Congress (ANC) and has launched a scathing attack on President Cyril Ramaphosa.

Zuma, who served as the President of South Africa from 2009 to 2018, announced his decision to distance himself from the ANC in a statement released on social media. In the statement, he accused the ANC of betraying the values and principles of the liberation movement and criticized the party for failing to address the issues of poverty, unemployment, and inequality.

Zuma’s decision to withdraw his support from the ANC comes at a time when the party is facing increasing criticism over its handling of the country’s economic and social challenges. The ANC, which has been in power since the end of apartheid in 1994, has been plagued by allegations of corruption and mismanagement, and Zuma’s latest move is likely to further destabilize the party.

In his statement, Zuma also launched a scathing attack on President Cyril Ramaphosa, accusing him of being a puppet of white capital and of failing to address the needs of the black majority in South Africa. Zuma’s criticism of Ramaphosa is significant, as the two men were once allies and worked together within the ANC.

Zuma’s withdrawal of support from the ANC and his attack on Ramaphosa could have significant repercussions for the party and for the political landscape in South Africa. With Zuma still holding sway over a significant portion of the ANC’s base, his decision to distance himself from the party could lead to further internal divisions and power struggles within the organization.

Furthermore, Zuma’s attack on Ramaphosa could further weaken the President’s position within the party and could embolden his opponents to challenge his leadership. This could potentially lead to further instability within the ANC and could hamper the party’s ability to address the pressing issues facing the country.

In response to Zuma’s statement, the ANC has sought to downplay its significance, with party officials stating that Zuma’s decision to distance himself from the party will have little impact on its operations. However, the growing dissent within the ANC and the public criticism of the party’s leadership could erode the party’s standing and could impact its performance in the upcoming local government elections.

Overall, Zuma’s decision to withdraw his support from the ANC and his attack on President Ramaphosa have thrown the party into turmoil and have raised serious questions about its ability to govern effectively. With South Africa facing numerous challenges, including a struggling economy, widespread poverty, and high levels of inequality, the ANC’s ability to address these issues is crucial for the country’s future. It remains to be seen how the party will navigate this latest crisis and whether it can regain the trust and confidence of the South African people.

I know she didn’t say the ANC has been ruling since the end of apartheid 6 decades ago.

Been ruling for 3 decades, but Zuma has been a member of the party for 6 decades.

(Daniel 9:27 was fulfilled on August 13 2023 also when the woman began travailing in birth to fulfill the time of the gentiles for the mystery of Revelation 12 to be completed, Daniel 12:1 next, three riders released within 2020 and 2023. These words are true and worthy, he who has ears to hear let him hear, blessed is he who understands.)

“And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.”

Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 8 to 11.

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”

Gospel of Luke, chapter 21, verse 25 to 28.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16 to 18.

“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.”

First Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 3 to 6.

Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 8.

“knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

Second Peter, chapter 3, verse 3 to 4.

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.”

First Thessalonians chapter 5, verse 3.

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

First Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16 to 17.

“in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
