Julius Malema’s Praise For Duduzile Zuma
The President of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), Julius Malema, has praised Duduzile Zuma, describing her as a leader with a bright future. He believes she has the potential to excel not only in politics but also in any community role. Duduzile is the older sister of Nomcebo LaZuma, the fiancée of His Majesty King Mswati III.
Duduzile has been in the public eye, and her social media presence is notable. She often treats her Instagram followers to her beauty and official engagements. However, in 2025, she resigned from the uMkhonto weSizwe Party (MKP) following allegations of recruiting 17 South African men to fight alongside Russian troops in the Ukraine war, as reported by CNN.
Malema’s Advice To Duduzile Zuma
The Collen Mashawana Foundation recently held its 14th anniversary gala dinner at the Blue Valley Golf Estate on 30 April. The event featured distinguished speakers, including the commander-in-chief of the EFF, former minister Lindiwe Zulu, and former public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane. During his speech, Julius Malema commended Duduzile Zuma, the daughter of Jacob Zuma. He urged her to learn about effective communication and the inner workings of politics.
Malema stated that Duduzile has the potential to be a leader in her own right, and all she needs is courage. He advised her to build her confidence through public speaking, emphasizing that she has the brains and the ability to think for herself. Malema said, “We thank the MK (party) for being here. Princess Duduzile Zuma, who in her own right must form her own foundation and stop hiding behind her father’s suit.” He added, “Because she got everything it takes to be a leader in her own right. All we need to do is give her courage.”
A Leader In Her Own Right
Malema continued to praise Duduzile, saying, “She got brains. She can think, she’s very bright, and she’s not her father, she’s her father’s daughter.” His comments were well-received, and a video clip of his speech is available.
