“Don’t Tell Us Ramaphosa Inherited A Broken Country With Failing Parastatals” Dudu Zuma Hit Out

Dudu Zuma has launched a strong criticism of President Cyril Ramaphosa, rejecting the argument that he inherited a broken country and struggling state-owned enterprises when he assumed office.

In her remarks, Zuma argued that Ramaphosa should not be shielded from criticism by claims that the country’s economic and institutional challenges were inherited from previous administrations.

She went further, accusing the president of deliberately contributing to the destruction of both the African National Congress (ANC) and the country’s state-owned enterprises.

“Don’t tell us Cyril ‘inherited’ a broken country with failing parastatals. The fact is that Cyril wanted to destroy the ANC and the country with its parastatals,” Zuma said.

Her comments reflect the continuing political tensions surrounding Ramaphosa’s leadership, particularly as South Africa grapples with persistent economic challenges, unemployment, service delivery problems and concerns about the performance of several state-owned enterprises.

The debate over the condition of the country inherited by Ramaphosa has remained a contentious issue in South African politics. While his supporters have frequently pointed to the challenges left by previous administrations, his critics argue that his years in office have not delivered the significant improvements many South Africans expected.

State-owned enterprises, including Eskom and Transnet, have remained central to discussions about economic recovery, infrastructure development and the government’s ability to provide reliable public services.

Zuma’s remarks also add to the broader criticism of Ramaphosa from political figures associated with the former president Jacob Zuma’s political camp.

Her accusations are likely to generate further debate about accountability, leadership and the ANC’s direction, particularly as the governing party faces mounting pressure over its political future.

However, her assertion that Ramaphosa deliberately sought to destroy the ANC and state-owned enterprises remains an allegation and has not been independently established.
