Paul O’Sullivan v/s “Prime Evil” Duduzile Zuma

Loading player...
Former President Jacob Zuma's daughter Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla appeared in court today for allegedly inciting violence during the July 2021 riots. In this interview, forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan, who laid a charge against her in 2021 - and provided the police and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) with forensic downloads of her Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook accounts - outlines the case against her. “Now, I could be wrong, but I think this will probably be the first time on the planet, not just in South Africa, where a person is charged with inciting others to terrorism based on social media.” Describing her as “prime evil” and a “psychopath”, O’Sullivan charges: “She wants to see this country fail. And if she's left to her own devices, the country would fail.” He also addresses a defamatory Tweet she made about him in which she accused him of involvement in the Phala Phala case. Meanwhile, her advocate, Dali Mpofu, says they plan to bring a case of malicious prosecution against the State because she believes that this case against her is aimed at settling political scores with her father.
