The leadership of the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal believes the party should not act against former president Jacob Zuma over his endorsement of Black First Land First (BLF) outside court last weekend.

Provincial secretary Mdumiseni Ntuli and spokesperson Gugu Simelane-Zulu told a media briefing in Durban on Thursday that Zuma’s comments that people should vote for BLF president Andile Mngxitama needed to be “understood in context”.
