Julius Malema praised Duduzile Zuma as a promising leader. He said she has a bright future in politics and community leadership.
Meanwhile, Duduzile is the older sister of Nomcebo LaZuma. Nomcebo is engaged to Mswati III. She often shares her beauty and official duties on Instagram.
However, Duduzile faced controversy in 2025. She resigned from the uMkhonto weSizwe Party. This followed allegations of recruiting South Africans for the Ukraine war.
Gala Event Highlights
The Collen Mashawana Foundation hosted its 14th anniversary gala. The event took place at Blue Valley Golf Estate on 30 April.
Several prominent leaders attended the event. These included Lindiwe Zulu and Busisiwe Mkhwebane.
During his speech, Malema highlighted Duduzile’s potential. He described her as more than her father’s legacy.
Call for Growth and Confidence
Malema urged Duduzile to improve her communication skills. He also encouraged her to understand political systems deeply.
He emphasized that she should build her own identity. “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 began.
“Because she got everything it takes to be a leader in her own right. All we need to do is give her courage,” he continued.
“We must take her to public speaking to build her confidence to know that she can do it and no one just looks at her and thinks she’s an empty head,” he continued.
He continued, “She got brains. She can think, she’s very bright, and she’s not her father, she’s her father’s daughter.”
