Duduzile Zuma – the daughter of MK Party founder Jacob Zuma – has branded herself a “modern day terrorist” during her Durban High Court appearance over her July unrest tweets.
The MP has been charged with incitement to commit terrorism and public violence.
Her trial will begin on 10 November.
DUDUZILE ZUMA WEARS ‘TERRORIST’ TEE TO COURT
In a bold move, Duduzile Zuma wore a T-shirt with the slogan “modern day terrorist” to the Durban High Court over her controversial July 2021 tweets.
The daughter of former president Jacob Zuma has been charged with incitement to commit terrorism and two counts of incitement to commit public violence.
The trial is scheduled to take place from 10- 21 November.
Posting pictures of herself in court on her Instagram account, a beaming Duduzile thanked her supporters. She posted: “At the end of the day, I’m a good woman, no matter what people say.
“I’m not perfect by any means, but my heart is pure, and I love hard with everything I have.”
Her court appearance comes days after she rallied her supporters to take action against anyone who threatened KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
WHAT DID SHE TWEET?
In 2021, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla was accused of encouraging the July unrest, where properties and stores around the country were looted, vandalised, and torched. During the period, over 70 people are reported to have died in violent confrontations.

The daughter of the former president retweeted several videos of the violence, which was a direct reaction to her father’s incarceration on contempt-of-court charges shortly before.
