A textbook study in populist opportunism and ideological flip flopping. In Burkina Faso 🇧🇫, Jacob Zuma claims his greatest wish is to dismantle colonial borders and unite African people fooling Ibrahim Traore.
Back home 🇿🇦, his party officially endorses xenophobic vigilantes who enforce those exact colonial borders through street violence, assaults, and forced store closures. To top it off, Zuma himself stokes the fire in isiZulu scapegoating informal traders. His followers, who love to scream "flip-flopper" at opponents are completely silent because the hypocrisy suits their agenda.
