The President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma is reported to have suggested that external forces want to control his country.
Local media Eyewitness News reported that Mr. Zuma told supporters of his party the African National Congress (ANC) that there are attempts by outside governments to destroy the party in order to govern South Africa.
“Because I know things, let me tell you, there are outside governments who want to control South Africa. In their discussions, they even say if you want to control South Africa, you need to control the ANC. If you want to control the ANC, you need to have a leader that you will control.” Zuma said.
The embattled president of South Africa was speaking at a commemoration of the Musa Dladla Region freedom fighters in Empangeni on Saturday.
Mr. Zuma who is facing protests and calls for him to step down said the enemy of ANC is using new strategies to control South Africa.
He questioned the desire by many members of the ANC to president saying “Where have you ever seen a situation where all of us want to become president?”
Mr. Zuma is hoping that the the external forces would not succeed in dividing and the ANC’s unity.
