WATCH | 84 and still dancing — Yengeni urges two‑thirds gift for Zuma

Mpumalanga – MK Party veteran Tony Yengeni has called on supporters to give party leader Jacob Zuma a “birthday present” by securing the party a two-thirds majority in the 4 November elections.

Speaking at a Youth Day event in Ermelo, Yengeni reassured supporters that Zuma, who recently stumbled while dancing on stage, remains “alive and walking on his own two feet” despite being 84 years old.

Former President Jacob Zuma stumbled in an uncomfortable manner, at the MK Party rally, quickly recovered and carried on with chanting a struggle song.

Yengeni praised Zuma’s leadership and urged voters to back the MK Party, which has experienced significant growth since its formation, particularly in KwaZulu-Natal where it emerged as the largest party in the 2024 elections.

“All of you must vote for Nxamalala (Zuma) next year. Jacob Zuma will be 85 years old, 85, alive and walking on his own two feet. Now you must give him a birthday present, and the best birthday present for Comrade Jacob Zuma will be a two-thirds majority come the 4th of November,” he said.
