The year 2024 appears to be another big one for former South African president Jacob Zuma who recently announced his plans to head the newly formed political party uMkhonto weSizwe.

While he has faced bucket loads of criticism and ridiculing for stepping back into the political arena at his age, the party continues to gain support online.

A video of him “busting a move” has garnered hilarious reactions from social media users who have pointed out how he was too sick for prison a couple of years back but now has all the energy in the world.In 2021, ex-president Jacob Zuma was sentenced to 15 months imprisonment for contempt of court.

 
After spending only a two months behind bars, Zuma — who was 79 at the time — was released on medical parole.

He was later sent back to prison but released an hour later under South Africa’s remission process.
