Zuma attends SACP fundraiser


By Chanel September

African National Congress deputy president Jacob Zuma made a surprise guest appearance at the 85th anniversary fund-raising dinner of the SA Communist Party (SACP) in Durban on Saturday.

Zuma, who is expected to attend the SACP's 85th anniversary in Pietermaritzburg on today said that South Africa is an amazing country where communists and capitalists can sit on the same table.

Zuma did not speak about his upcoming corruption trial but apologised for not being able to donate to the SACP.

According to IOL, SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande repeated the party's call for a once off amnesty for all people who had been blacklisted by credit bureaux.

Those present at the fundraiser were the top leadership of the SACP and leading local community leaders.
