Zuma addressed his supporters after his corruption case was postponed to May.


The former head of state warned that if the ANC does not win a two-thirds majority in next year’s elections, it might have to enter into coalition agreements with opposition parties in order to implement radical economic transformation. 

"There are things that we need to change, that must be clear in the ANC. We must grow, expand, and continue with the revolution,” said Zuma.

He saus the ANC has the majority of voters, yet the party is failing to implement the resolutions taken at the its national conference in Nasrec.

"One of the decisions taken is what we call radical economic transformation. You see? It's almost been a year and it hasn't been implemented, we must not complain about other people."

He believes the settling of personal squabbles is deterring the party from moving forward.

Zuma will return to court in May when the court is expected to hear his application for a permanent stay of prosecution.  .

He is facing sixteen charges of fraud, racketeering and money laundering, which relate to money he allegedly received to protect French company Thales from an investigation during the country's multi-billion rand arms deal.
