WATCH: Zuma breaks silence: Endorses ANC for upcoming polls
Former president Jacob Zuma has broken his silence by urging all South Africans to come out and vote for the African National Congress (ANC).
Speaking for the first time since his arrest and subsequent hospitalisation, Zuma who is talking in isiZulu said South Africans should vote for the party that brought freedom into the country.
The country is heading to the polls for a local government election on November 1.
Zuma said while there is a lot he may also not be satisfied with - he will vote.
“If we don’t vote, we’ll wake up with no land and power to change the lives of South Africans. Think again and vote. Thank you, let us all go out and vote.”
