The ex-president's daughter who faces terror-related charges
Published: 11/9/2025

Former South African President Jacob Zuma's daughter, Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla, is set to go on trial this week on terrorism-related charges for social media posts during deadly protests in 2021. Accused of inciting violence and terrorism, Zuma-Sambudla's trial is seen as politically motivated due to her father's opposition to the ruling party. The case is the first of its kind in South Africa's legal history, raising questions about selective prosecution and the challenges of proving intent in social media posts inciting terrorism.
