‘Prayer day’ announced for Jacob Zuma
A national day or prayer has been announced for former president Jacob Zuma.
The Jacob Zuma Foundation held a press briefing on Friday announcing the details for the day of prayer.
Spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi says the day of prayer will take place next Thursday at 10:00.
“This occasion will take place in KwaZulu-Natal, eThekwini at the place called the People’s Park where God’s atmosphere will ensure that the coronavirus is blown away and not passed between the attendees.
“Everyone is welcome. No accreditation is required. People are encouraged to bring their own refreshments.”
The programme will feature a political session, although details are being finalised.
“The programme is still being worked on and the line up for speakers is still work in progress,” Manyi said.
The foundation could not confirm whether president Zuma would attend the day of prayer, describing his situation as "fluid".
“Look as to whether President Zuma is going to be there on that day. Let’s just pray that he is there, but the situation is still fluid because President Zuma is still on medical parole. His condition is a fluid condition. We hope that on that day the doctors will allow him to be there. So we are hoping for the best,” Manyi said.
