Anyone who catches COVID here must blame Ramaphosa, says pro-Zuma Nkandla crowd
Police stationed outside the Kwadakudunuse homestead had their hands full with many of Zuma's supporters not adhering to COVID-19 regulations.
NKANDLA - Supporters of former President Jacob Zuma have blamed President Cyril Ramaphosa for COVID-19 breaches outside Zuma's Nkandla homestead.
The former president is expected to address his supporters at 6pm Sunday evening amid his battle to stay out of prison for being in contempt of the Constitutional Court.
Scores of people gathered outside Zuma’s home believed that Zuma's legal woes were engineered by his political foes and had nothing to do with his own transgressions.

“Whoever gets COVID must claim [blame] it on the Cyril Ramaphosa’s government because it is the government that has brought us here because it is a known fact that President Jacob Zuma, we’ve said it over 20 years that he will never walk alone.”
