Former president Jacob Zuma has "warned" those who continue to speak about him in public not to "provoke" him.
Zuma told his detractors to keep quiet and discuss their own organisations, not him.
"Not me, because I have things to say about their organisations, but I don't want to do so because I know why I'm part of the struggle. They must not provoke me," he said.
Zuma issued the warning after delivering a speech on free education at an event organised by the Congress of South African Students (Cosas) in Durban on Wednesday.
After his speech, he sang Yinde Lendlela and, just as everyone thought he was done, he issued the warning.
He said the reason he had kept quiet for so long was because he had been president at the time and needed to be careful about how he handled things.
"I just want to give that warning. Instead of discussing their own programmes and policies, they sit in their leadership to discuss me. I'm warning them, don't continue doing it," he said.
