Trial Begins for Jacob Zuma’s Daughter

Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, daughter of former South African President Jacob Zuma, has pleaded not guilty to terrorism-related charges in Durban, stemming from her social media comments during the July 2021 protests that followed her father’s arrest. The unrest resulted in over 300 deaths and $2.8 billion in damages. She claims the charges are politically motivated due to her father’s opposition to the ANC. The Jacob Zuma foundation supports her, calling the prosecution an “abuse of power.”
