The daughter of South Africa’s former President Jacob Zuma, Jabu, has fired back at the British model Naomi Campbell following her comment on the ongoing looting crisis in the country.
The star model had accused Jacob Zuma of “stoking division”.
Campbell had said Zuma’s defiance to court orders and subsequent jailing had divided the country, while the unrest started by Zuma’s supporters had threatened the late Nelson Mandela’s vision for a prosperous South Africa.
Campbell’s open letter was published on her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CR9GE5os1Du/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=8a416ee4-26f1-4a06-b3cf-783dd41506ba
Jabu in her response said Campbell was “not qualified” to speak on Zuma’s affairs, claiming that her father had sacrificed a lot for the country’s democracy.
“What you remember SA to be is not and has never been a reflection of the true SA,” Jabu wrote referring to Ms Campbell’s friendship with Mandela.
Jabu said the unrest after Zuma’s jailing was beyond her father.
She opined that South Africans were hungry and unemployed and blamed the administration of the current President Cyril Ramaphosa.
