MKP members at court for Zuma-Sambudla appearance
MK Party members in KZN were preparing to rally their members outside the Durban High Court, where MP Duduzile Zuma-Sambudla was due to appear on Thursday.
She is facing charges related to social media comments she made, which the state believes fuelled the 2021 July unrest.
MK party members began streaming into the high court premises in the morning.
A Public Order Policing Unit truck also arrived with a high police presence ahead of her appearance.
Supporters were demanding that charges, including incitement to commit terrorism and public violence, be dropped in what they described as a politically motivated case.
"Comrades and commanders will also be here to support all people who thought and made a decision to be involved in the July unrest," says MK Party’s Musa Mkhize.
The Presidential Protection Unit was seen scanning the area.
The state maintains it has a strong case against Zuma-Sambudla with investigations completed.
