Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla Trial
Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, the daughter of the former president Jacob Zuma, is being prosecuted over what she wrote on social media four years ago during deadly protests. Jacob Zuma's nine-year presidency was littered with controversies and finally came to an end in 2018 amid extensive allegations which were all denied. in 2021 he was jailed for failing to show up at a corruption inquiry, triggering protests and the worst scenes of violence since before the start of the democratic era in 1994. A week of anarchy in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng provinces, including looting and arson, left at least 300 people dead and caused an estimated $2.8bn damage. Prosecutors allege Zuma-Sambudla played a central role in inciting the protesting and rioting. In 2021, she was outraged by his incarceration and posted images from the looting. The allegation is that these praised what was happening and incited her legion of social media followers, some 100,000 at the time, to press on with the mayhem. Zuma-Sambudla is accused of the incitement to commit terrorism under the Protection of Constitutional Democracy against Terrorist and Related Activities Act. She is also accused of the incitement to commit public violence. In one tweet, she shared a film of a vehicle transporter ablaze and stacked with cars shot at Mooi Plaza, a tollgate near one of the towns in KwaZulu-Natal hardest hit by the violence. Along with the hashtag #FreeJacobZuma she wrote 'Mooi Plaza...We See You!!! Amandla', along with three fist emojis. 'Amandla' means power in the Zulu language and was a well-known slogan in the resistance movement against white-minority apartheid rule. In another tweet she shared a poster calling for the 'shut down' of KwaZulu-Natal including 'roads, factories, shops and government' until the former president was released. She also included the Zulu word 'azishe' which literally means 'let it burn' but in slang can mean 'let it start' or 'let it proceed'. Prosecutors need to prove intent and causation that a post directly incited terrorism.
