DUARTE  DISMISSES NOTION THAT ZUMA WILL NEGATIVELY  AFFECT ELECTIONS

ANC’s Jessie Duarte says President Jacob Zuma is amongst the oldest most experienced cadres in the movement.

African National Congress (ANC) Deputy Secretary General Jessie Duarte has dismissed the notion that former President Jacob Zuma’s participation might impact negatively on the ANC’s election campaign. Duarte spoke to the media on Thursday.

The party recalled Zuma last month, but later decided to make him part of its campaign for next year’s elections.

“There is a reality that President Zuma is amongst the oldest most experienced cadres that are still active in the organisation and he volunteered himself to President Ramaphosa that he will assist in working during this campaign for the ANC to have a victory. So the ANC does not ever throw people away, you continue to work with people if there are private matters that they are going to have to face going forward, then that is another matter altogether,” she explained.
