Former president Jacob Zuma has urged black-led political parties to unite under a single banner in an attempt to retake the nation, implying that the uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) Party, which he leads, will take the lead.<\/p>\n
According to Zuma, this would make it possible and more efficient for the people to get a two-thirds majority and reclaim the land that was taken away from them by settlers.<\/p>\n
Zuma made the remarks during the MKP\u2019s first anniversary at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Thousands and thousands of supporters gathered at the stadium to celebrate and witness their leader deliver the first-anniversary speech.<\/p>\n
Zuma underlined that black people ought to be able to unite under a single organisation to combat poverty and fight for the betterment of their communities.<\/p>\n
The crowd in approval cheered as he went on with his speech.<\/p>\n
He urged them to be united because the white minority was more cohesive and more equipped to work towards a single vision while the black community was growing apart.<\/p>\n
Hence there\u2019s a division amongst black communities.<\/p>\n
Even though he did not say it directly, Zuma hinted that MKP should act as the unifying party for all members.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must get ourselves out of this situation and remind ourselves of the lessons we learned during apartheid,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
In his fiery speech, Zuma blasted the nation’s politicians, claiming that the rigged elections denied his party the chance to govern the nation.<\/p>\n
Many people, notably the SA Community Party (SACP), think that the election results were manipulated, and they will investigate the issue.<\/p>\n
Zuma mentioned that the MKP will re-examine the case on the purported election tampering, which it had withdrawn earlier this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey gave our votes to their people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
