Character assassination and ‘planted’ rape cases
Zuma claimed ANC comrades tried “wrestling” him out of politics and went as far as creating rape cases against him.
In 2005, Zuma was accused of raping Fezekile Ntsukela Kuzwayo‚ also known as Khwezi, at his home in Forest Town, Johannesburg. Zuma was deputy president at the time.
He denied the allegations. He said the sex was consensual and the court acquitted him of the rape charge in 2006.
Even my own comrades were aiming to wrestle me out of politics to stop me from becoming part of the leadership of the ANC.
