Jacob Zuma slams Parliament for not doing enough to create social cohesion
Former President
Jacob Zuma has accused parliament of “not helping” in social cohesion
debates and nation-building.
The former President was speaking at the ANC (African National Congress) Umrabulo virtual session on Sunday.
“Parliament is a very open and public institution and is not helping in the debate that we are having on cohesion and nation-building. At times some people think it’s very disgusting because some people swear at each other do every kind of thing, it is not in a sense contributing to nation-building,” says Zuma.

The former president is back in the news – with his criminal case scheduled to continue in the Pietermaritzburg High Court on Tuesday, where he is accused of French weapons manufacturer, Thales, on charges relating to the multi-billion rand arms deal from the 1990s.
Zuma is also in a battle with the State Capture Commission and may face possible jail time for not adhering to a summons to return and complete his testimony.
