Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The former ANC veteran lambasted Former President Jacob Zuma’s political ambitions and his new MK Party.<\/p>\n

Struggle veteran Trevor Manuel has described Former President Jacob Zuma as a “totally abusive” individual, who\u2019s taken the hallowed symbols of the African National Congress’ (ANC) Umkhonto we Sizwe and is now using them against it – while refusing to leave the party.<\/p>\n

The former finance minister spoke to Eyewitness News at the sidelines of an interfaith service for Palestine at the St George\u2019s Cathedral in Cape Town on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Manuel himself confirmed in 2022 that he was no longer a part of the ANC.<\/p>\n

He said the ruling party had lived through many breakaways, but the MK splinter was very deliberate.<\/p>\n

Manuel said hijacking these names spoke of abuse, a claim he said described the former president well.<\/p>\n

“Whether it be the things that he was charged for like rape, things that he wasn\u2019t charged for but enabled, like corruption, the way in which he broke down the systems of government, all of it speaks to an individual who is totally abusive.”<\/p>\n

Manuel said he wished people could see through the former president.<\/p>\n

His views come as the ANC and MK Party await a court judgment on the use of the name and symbols, which have been attached to the former liberation movement since the 1960s.<\/p>\n
