PODCAST: ‘I know what Zuma stands for but not Ramaphosa’: ACDP’s Meshoe on 30 years in parliament

The leader of the African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP), Kenneth Meshoe, said he understood former president Jacob Zuma more than he does Cyril Ramaphosa.

‘The nine wasted years continue’

Meshoe said he had been a member of parliament for three decades and had interacted with different leaders through the years.

He said what confused him with Ramaphosa was that he did not know what he stood for.

Concerning issues of land redistribution, Meshoe alleged that some ANC ministers owned farms or pieces of land meant to be distributed to ordinary South Africans.

MPs facing corruption allegations

He said he was disappointed in the allegations of corruption that were facing many MPs, including the former speaker of parliament Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula.

According to Meshoe, the ACDP was the right party to vote for because it still had credible leaders among its ranks. He also spoke about issues of moral regeneration and the importance of biblical values in society.
