Zuma’s chess strategy explained…

- The outcome of the historic 2024 elections has its roots in the rift between the camps of former President Jacob Zuma and current President Cyril Ramaphosa that formed after the NASCREC conference in 2017. In this interview with BizNews, macroeconomic and political analyst Phumlani M. Majozi, who is also the author of “Lessons from Past Heroes”, explains the strategy followed by Zuma, an avid chess player. He describes how Zuma came to view the Ramaphosa faction as a group of people who were after him and who mistreated him. “And up it went and went and went and went up until to a point where Zuma said, I guess as a chess player himself, he said, I'm going to strategise it. I need to hurt these people in the 2024 election. And that is what exactly happened. ” Majozi describes how Zuma used his huge support in KZN, a province that his very popularity won for the ANC, to fight back against the ANC. He shares his theories on Zuma’s end game and the benefits the former president likely wants from regaining “an influence in how things go in governance”. Majozi examines the factors that will determine the future of the ANC and Ramaphosa, and outlines the coalition formation needed to push the ANC into pro-market, pro-growth policies. He also examines the future of democracy in South Africa post May 29.

Do not kill the messenger; this guy is what he is, an analyst. Problem: Most of the people of SA did not think of the country and a sound future when they voted. They voted for a populist view, either Ramaphosa or Zuma, either capitalistic or tribalistic, either ideological or not and then you had the bunch who just staid away not voting at all. The end result, you population of SA did not use your minds and left the country in a state worse than what is was before. Stop throwing accusations around and start working towards a solution or otherwise the situation in SA will only deteriorate further.
How can he say Zuma was locked up without any conflict arising. His forgetting the July 2021 riots. Many lives and livelihoods lost. It was hell.
I think he was talking in context of the country being in total civil war. Yes we had riots but no civil war.
The IEC map showed majorities by district, and the almost 15 per cent that voted MK corresponded pretty much perfectly to the Zulu speaking rural areas of the country (except in the many places where the IFP beat MK). That there was an ethnic aspect to this is obvious. It can't be pretended away. KZN, the Eastern parts of Mpumalanga, South of the Swazi majority districts, the Eastern parts of the Free State North of the Sotho majority districts, and East of a few Tswana majority districts were where the MK succeeded, when it did at all. (Gauteng isn't as easy to draw correspondences from, but rural Zulus quite obviously "voted Zulu", first and foremost.)
I suppose the comfort to draw from that is that this vote can't be taken as an endorsement of Zuma's corruption. It looks like the part of the electorate you can read off that map didn't take corruption into consideration. They voted for a Zulu. Not a good sign for the health of our democracy, or society, but it's pretty clear that that's what happened.
So it is more of ethnicity voting disregarding what the person you are voting for is capable or not capable of doing for you. That is sad.
@@franmdleleni6520 I suppose there is a very small silver lining. At very least the DA portion could not have come by entirely ethnic voting (too few of the other ethnicities to make that so), so hopefully although there's a long, long, lo-----ng road to travel, there's also a tiny bit of progress along the journey. Maybe it's just a matter of time? (It would be nice if we had time.)
@@sicko_the_ew let's hope for that silver lining to continue to be triumphant. What made me happy about this election was that, SAns were able to show these politicians that if they continue to ignore to serve the people, they will be shown the door. Let's now wait and see how things will unfold.
This man is speaking the truth. People don’t like it because the social stereotype says he shouldn’t be supporting what he is. But listen to what he says, he speaks facts. Well dressed, well presented, well spoken, educated gentleman. I swear after reading these comments that most of South Africans are just interested in tribalism. The government has done nothing good with the power they have. Why would we want to give them more power and control? They have proven they cannot manage that amount of responsibility, only the private market can.
Speaking truth about hiding cr17 sealed envelopes? And protecting the phalaphala thug ?
It amazes me when certain groups of our African people voted Zuma, and they are calling it tribalism.
When white people voted for DA in their numbers, and that isfine. There's no name for it. What kind of hypocrisy is this?
I don’t care who gets into the coalition / GNU.
1. Grow the economy - uplift poor
2. Education - invest in grass roots
3. No nonsense policing and reinstate Scorpions
4. Focus on the basics - revive institutions (Eskom, transfer) by appointing skills to replace cadre deployment
5. Scrap BBE and replace with grassroots development of ‘all poor’
When Zuma goes Zulus will go back to IFP or ANC
Stupid way of reasoning.
When Mandela died did people stop supporting ANC. Stupid
MK is a Trojan horse for ANC. Keep the horse out
My guy please speak the truth about cr17 sealed envelopes bought the whole conference including eff parliamentarians
I agree with Phumlani right now we need these parties in the multi party they are the ones who can bring more foreign investers unlike the mkp,eff anc they will scare investors
The truth hurts.But this is the truth and honest people can see it.Zuma is acting like an old spoiled baby.
ZUMA attack on Rhamapoza, but he needs to get his act together and stop promising things he can't deliver. Work with the DA and change South Africa together. All for one and one for all. People need to get over rasism long gone we do not see colour.
This man speaks sense!
Exactly
He speaks a lot of nonsense, RamaSofa lost the 2017 conference and used money to buy votes. That is a historical fact.
Right ! He answered all the questions fully, I understood everything. 👌👍
😂😂🤣
If Ramaphosa leaves chances are Zuma can take the MK back to the ANC to retain power
The MK cannot be regarded as theANC Zuma Faction its a cult without Zuma its dead in the water
ANC is dieing under Ramaphosa,so what is better the one who keeps something alive or who is the poison who would you choose
Doesn't matter,zuma is alive now.
Every have a wish 😂😂
It's not over until it's over Chess ♟️ Master Msholozi Zuma has started to move and the whole World is shaken...😂😂😂✊
@@siyabongajacobdlamini1764died under Zuma long ago
It’s called revenge politics 😢😢😢😢
Its ugly and childish
Why should Zuma live ramaphosa when ramaphosa called Zuma year a 9 wasted years?
For every action there's a reaction - Just basic physics. He can't do a man wrong and espect him to fold hands. This is the survival of the fittest
Some of us view and analyse it as a direct and necessary response to the RamaSofa cabal for selling out and refusing to implement expropriation of land without compensation and the nationalization of the SARB when the majority of ANC branches across the country had made these resolutions in their national conference in 2017.
I jeject the MK results
Those hands!!!, lol😅😅😅 and the way face moves towards and away from the camera 😅😅😅😊
Fantastic in-depth analysis. Brilliant!
The Zulus are only loyal to themselves. Not any party. Despite the fact that the Zulu kingdom and their ethnic political party affilliations have never done anything for the Zulus in the way of prosperity and progress. Zero.
And most admit as much. This is why the MK party is nothing more than a bag of gas. The most unfortunate part about the MK is that this is the sure and final death of their legacy. They hung it on Zuma's disgraced reputation.
The strongest warriors are Zulus get use to it... won't kill you
Don’t talk any thing about Zulu nationalism because you obviously have no idea who we are and where we are going.Stop exposing your ignorance and stupidity on matters you don’t know .
This is just one of the BizzNewsTV clowns, South Africa is really a Circus
Brilliant show 🙏
Zuma instigates Zulu tribalism and abuse Zulu patriotism!
KZN will suffer because the Zulu people choose to follow a Zulu and not good policies of government.
Because of the Zulu ethnic obsession, the rest of SA started to isolate and reject them.
Zulus will be on their own soon because the rest of SA won't tolerate obsessed Zulus to drag the RSA down.
There are more important matters that voters must vote for, than the ethnicity of the leader.
Long struggle ahead for RSA!
zulu this zulu that. zuma has revenged to those who did him wrong 2021
this guy is saying nothing & wearing a suit to cover it up!
The moment he said "I'm a big fan" I knew man, I just knew that here comes a DA agent 😂😂
And Africa is a basket case? Wakanda is in the comics
I listened to different speakers oxperts and the minute any say something that's sounds like anti Zuma they jumped to conclusions that the person doesn't like Zuma without hearing the facts. Please grown-up and be good listeners before opening your mouth as if you are in defence.
A lot of people upset in the comments. Do you forget that we have been lead by the ANC for the past 30 years? With policies like BBBEE? Who are you upset with?
I am a KZN resident, this province is dead at the starting line, imagine it with MK ruling it, NOOOOOO 😮
This channel does well in finding guests that are pro-DA, pro-markets and anti-left.
Ofcourse you're free to do that and perhaps push that agenda. But be careful not to appear jaded and partial towards certain ideologies on a platform that is supposed to provide a broader rtional, perspective, open mindedness and encourage free thought and opinion.
Love Pumlani and his anaylsis
Zuma is a G😂
"I'll die for Zuma" 😂
Blah blah blah blah😡😡😡😡😡
Nice to see you champ. ❤❤
More capitalists must come on board. ❤
What a pot of UPS (Unprocessed Sewerage)
Thanks Chris and Phumlani
Why not discuss this matter with the MK spokesperson…
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂BizNews. Atleast those pre-election events helped....or rather not.😂😂😂😂
Facts, i have been watching different podcasts and every time they speak of MK which they do 80% of the time, its is never with the spokesperson. I feel like a narrative is being sold when it comes to Jacob Zuma.
Can any of them actually talk😭😭😠💩💩
Will the MK agree to a discussion?
Who is the MK spokesman, do they even have one? Maybe Zuma's daughter.
Educating the young people are key. As they will be the Tax payers. As now 40% of the workforce pay Tax and the rest been sponsored by the government and riding the backs of the 40%. People need to be educated if they can't afford children, they should not have them. Maybe household should only have 2 children if they can afford it. That goes for white, colored, black and Indian.
This guy is living in the twilight zone!! He really feels we are on a good footing. 😮 His understanding of the political landscape is interesting....
He cant see the big picture....its sad
I can't continue watching this talking nonsense
Me neither🤦🏾♂️
Chest pains
The trouble is that you have become used to a situation in which nothing improves and you believe a Marxist restructuring is going to work... It has never succeeded anywhere in the world... Marxism has just been a further excuse for corruption...
I stopped after10 min, this one is very confused shem
@@biko8229 man who watched least speaks most.
And the Public Service that is defunct.
I cant believe some people take this guy serious😢
He is in America 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
It is not about Zuma it is about those who surrounded him, they use Zuma to loot the country again, the same way they did the fist time when he was a state President.
Makes sense😂
The brother is just here hustling. bloody sellouts yeeeer
😂😂😂😂...you killed me
Where are u from pls Dreamer of note????
Wirhout Zuma...the MKP will flop...
Like UDM...COPE...etc...
EFF as well
Never ever discount Tribelism in Africa .... he makes a huge mistake .... it is relevant despite what he says or thinks !!! ..... Ramaphosa on the other hand has sealed his own fate .... he was useless to say the least as was Zuma !!!
The hand movement is on another level for a zoom call
😀😂🤣
😂
INEQUALITIES SA is NUMBER ONE. Call the country a DEMOCRACY. My foot.
What is democracy?
Who's fault is that? When did we become democratic again???
Indeed Democracy my foot we don't have Democracy but Black Leadership that is controlled by White People with money not democracy of people by people. Few minorities are Corrupted by White but today some of them are starting to pay by going to Jail one by one and their lovely President Ramaphosa is next very soon with evidence of Dollars, unfortunately against President Zuma until today no evidence but media Judgement everyday without evidence 🧾🧾🤦🤦🤷
@zuzemoyo7696 Democracy is not the cause of inequality. It is the greed of politicians who have only wanted political power for themselves, their family and cronies to get as much as possible. These politicians never cared to uplift their own. If they did, they wouldn't have downgraded education, closing teacher colleges, retrenching teachers. If you down grade education, you rob people of the chance to compete in the economy, holding their own.
Why are they, right now fighting to keep DA out of GNU or coalition? Because they know the DA will not allow them lining each others pockets at the expense of creating jobs and services for the people.
BUT MK and EFF and Cosatu and SACP forget that the 21% who voted for DA, majority were black people who want a government that do things to make their daily lives easier, as in the WC! You cannot ignore the DA in a coalition or GNU!
If you do, you will regret it!
Listen to some within the ANC who are fighting the idea the DA join in saving SA(coalition), racism by another party colour and it's sad
Smh they are afraid of getting caught 🙄 they're manipulating the public by playing the racism card
Who cares, Zuma is going to jail soon😂
the myth that the ANC liberated this country is just one of my pet-peeves.
Where did they get this fool?
He's not even a fool, he's an imbecile! The ANC is split without Zuma, the cause is this coalition with the DA.
Zuma the fool was born many years ago
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😅🙃
😂😂😂😂
This thing is talking nonsense
Sorry, they can't resist the outcome of the results. The law is the law.
Its amazing how whites and other ethnic groups tremble at the might of the Zulu nation. We are a proud and unified group of people, who practice and love their culture. Why this intimidates others boggles my mind.
it is not true that after Jacob Zuma was arrested there was no violence, secondly he is clueless about what it currently happening in the ANC, the ANC is not under the control of any individual that view is misleading and devoid of truth.
Analysts must explain why IFP is not governing KZN, and why MK showing presence in other provinces unlike the IFP a party formed along ethnic lines?
you can hear that this guy wants fake employment...i.e increase employment with salaries of R1000
nonsensical analysis
What our non-black or non-Zulu fellow South Africans should understand about Jacob Zuma is that he has the hearts of his followers because he's like Robin Hood, he's not viewed as a hero or icon for nothing. He genuinely cares for KZN people, but unfortunately he looks out for blacks only. But if you know what daily life is like in the townships and the rurals areas you'd understand why Zuma is revered so much. If black people are systematically shut out from the mainstream economy, we'll get more crime, tribalism, uprisings and more political Robin Hoods like Zuma.
Astute and articulate, good analysis.
Talking nonsense
My child, you are too short sighted if you think that Zuma is in control of the organization to an extent that when he is not there, it be the end of MKHONTO. People are thirsty for FREEDOM. Don't underestimate the power of people.
Ppl proud of democracy that marginalises them economically?thats stupid falling for this propaganda!
Anc currently is a Democratic Dictatorship. Not a true democracy.
Democracy is not an economic system. Autocracy/ dictatorship doesn't make the general public rich.
😂😂😂😂😂 so you want autocracy? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@mpilompanza9101 Basically, that's what he is saying, but I am not surprised because that is what ubaba is selling to them, and they bought into it.
This one is sleeping 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
In dreamland😂😂
Why they let this guy speak so long here...?
There is no chess here, it's just play dough.
😂👌
Great conversation, sad that 10% of our GDP is being lost to criminality. Where did he get this stat by the way? The optimism is commendable but as far as peace goes (With Zuma's situation) he's too hopeful! Riots happened fueled by many motives but it's not like the whole country was on the same page about Zuma needing to serve his time! Even Malema said "he's too old to go to jail" - whatever that means.
This guy tries to be relevant but his talking nonsense
Plse don't compare someone who couldn't even balance his cheque book with a chess strategy
Ukhuluma into engekho wena bafo, thula! The tribalism thing is dishonest and insulting. Your ANC failed the people, that is why they lost the majority, kuphela nje.
This thing of ethnicity is revolting from mouths of some speakers like you my brother Im sorry to say! Over the years ANC has been ruling in KZN voted in by Zulus, nobody said about ethnicity, now because Zuma is a zulu everybody says he is favoured by zulu nation?? This is total nonsense! The province is tired of ANC lies period!! Dont beat about the bush! I would have rather thrown my vote in the bin than voting for ANC!
❤❤❤
I don't think Zuma can play chess. If he doesn't even know the difference between a hundred thousand and a billion.
Steinhuis is worse .bass john
I doubt anyone can start a chess team in prison if they did not know the game..
UZuma akuve ezenza Islamabad sometimes bese beyasizakqlake abangaamthandi
Maybe so. But he certainly knows the difference between fiat currency backed by thin air and land. Unlike yourself.
Wena do you know a million or billion stop insulting. You own black elders this are people who gave you freedom to say what you want learn to respect ubabazuma is not your age
Essentially the ANC-DA coalition is/was Cyril's only means of retaining power, and thus inevitable given his personal circumstances. I'm sure Mashatile has been in touch with MK exploring a possible internal purge/coup against the Ramaphosa faction. At least we now know who the 14%are and their strength, although i'm sure Zuma has left a few sleeper agents in place in the ANC NEC
If you listen to the guest it really feels this is Zuma State Capture 2.0
He is still trying to mold the entire country to suit his needs
They bought the youngster so cheap and he took the money😂. These so called experts, analyst and journalist here in Satafrica is not make sure😂😂 I'm leaving Satafrica for good I'm going to KZN
Phumlane you just committed the biggest sin to confuse your host, that's why she is so quiet. Lol DA is going to eat Ramaphosas for breakfast. I think I can analyze politics better than Phumlane. I wonder ubufuna ukuthi ngesizulu😮
Bring all the proof against Zuma. And we shall bring the evidence against your so beloved Ramamosha.
Other parties ... are SA's Doomsday, but sooner.
nosense
You talk about democracy there is no democracy in South Africa .Rama do everything at will.
Ethnic group has always been the politics in SA, white votes for DA & FF+ so it doesn't start with Zuma
Not really...... every group is different and has cultures they treasure this should be respected...
We are a rainbow nation after all
F him he is not the only chess player in town - we control the chess board now- near 90% did not vote for him -so we are in control whether perception says otherwise is another matter - don't forget that we should never surrender or allow flourishing of tin pot despots and convicted criminals because they instigate or agitate or try and intimidate or harass - we must deal with them exactly how the law says we should - so don't ever back down this horror show
After 30 years of criminal activity Zuma should be in jail, yet he isn't!
@@BagginsMac Agreed - yet this time we are aware of his scoundrel tactics and his age - so at every turn we should let it be known no more silent treatment - voices of opposition must be heard loud and clear and consistently across all forums - no more resilience or tolerance of this scoundrel will be considered
Very flimsy attempt at analysis - not worthy of the standards set by BizNews …
Yay ❤ 🇿🇦
Ramadollar if he manages to form a GNU😂his next political huddle is in 2026 municipal elections 😂if he manages to get there😂
Every Party, all of them are after the taxpayers purse.
This man speaking does not speak for the country .he only thinks in terms of the ANC ...
To compare south africas progress in the area of democracy to countries in Sub-Saharan Africa
....
Well that's a very low bar .
He speaks in generalities but does not focus on what cards sa have been dealt ...no party is perfect they need to get practical solutions based in reality
ANC +DA +IFP+gayton Mckenzie party
.
My speaker please be careful of your hand movements. It comes across blur therefore making too many blurs and distracting us listening to you. Thank you
This man is talking absolute bull
30%er this one. The calibre of people are really low these days.
Sir, please become President of SA.
Why because hes blac???thats the biggest problem all of you have and thats why we are here today..
Why do you keep inviting people with the same single views?? What narrative are you trying to drive?
The truth
The truth hun
This analyst is narrow minded and factional himself.
You mean factual?
The only fact is Cyric being in charge of the ANC demise.
The guy talks way too much. Most one-sided interview I've seen in a long time
Well said 👍
It seems this guy seeing that he's a Zulu and im a Coloured Male from PAARL, he is easily an IFP Symphatiser. The was the one and is the one politician who brought peace over the whole of KZN between two war-ring factions like IFP AND ANC. Also how can he talked so disparagingly about an ex-President JACOB MSHOLOZI ZUMA of the country as if ZUMA and his MK PARTY is Stupids I'm supporting the MK PARTY and I'm not Illiterate as many on these platforms also. But it seems that anything which are been associated with ZUMA is evils to them as he is playing for the gallery. He's Analysis are pedantic as one would expect from maybe a silent INKHATA person, because they wanted ti give us the idea with the MAINSTREAM-MEDIA that its only a ZUMA ZULU PARTY...Then we can say the same of the ANC as being mostly XHOSA...or the DA as mostly White, Privilege Extremely WEALTHY even on Par with EUROPEAN 💶 countries and the USA and in some ASIAN TIGER Countries so rich are these Whites in South Africa 🇿🇦. He's just saying this because they knows and the DA knows, that the ANC is the only Party which are standing between those rich population and the EFF/MK PARTY because the ANC is actually protecting the INHERENT APARTHEID PROPERTY RIGHTS AND MASSIVE WEALTH and EXTREMELY OPULENCE LIFESTYLES which other parties like EFF and MK PARTY will not do as South Africa 🇿🇦 belongs to all exually who lives in it.
Im a Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) Graduate in FOODS SCIENCE & COSMETICS ANALYSIS as well as an ACCREDITED FOODS SAFETY SYSTEMS AUDITOR and CERTIFIED FOODS AUDITOR. So what does that makes me??? You must also Invite the MK PARTY Spokesperson to your channel so that we can have a balanced view and Analysis of the political dynamics in the country. Don't allow yourselves as online news and Podcast channels to behave like the MAINSTREAM Print and Electronic media which ran this NARRATIVE for years. It will not work with us anymore as yiu support those who is easy controllable like CYRIL RAMAPHOSA because he's also CAPTURED and can do nothing without the help of STELLENBOSCH-MAFIA and its easy to control him as they couldn't control ZUMA. President CYRIL RAMAPHOSA is a PROXY for both the WESTERN WORLD, and BUSINESSES
Even in Biblical times it was known that
' ... from the sweat of your own labour, you shall eat'
All the gibberish about 'economic freedom' and redistribution and expropriation is just PROPAGANDA to mislead ignorant people in order to get a cosy, well paid job, as a politician.
Look at their track record of 30 years!!!
Everything in their hands collapse ... because they are only here to loot and pillage!
Literally 1 minute before I realised my time is worth more than this
Who is this guy?
Please there's nothing like the Zulu way of doing things!!!!
Wachathwa nge Proganda ezalwa, lesphukuphuku, Ingabe sithathwephi!
My guy stop this jungle analysis, because you never had a one on one with Zuma. Now you are telling the naive public your own bogus thesis or premise. We voted for Mk because of leaderships ideas not Zuma, thus we didn't Vote the ANC because of this current leadership ideas and decisions.
The analyst steers clear from the fact that voters showed disapproval of Ramaphosa's govt, he stresses the Zuma factor. If Ramaphosa was approved Zuma would not have a chance and the polls would have shown, the analyst views are biased; Zuma with all his faults has qualities that Ramaphosa does not have and will not have...people are not stupid as the analyst would like to subtly suggest they are, anyway its his views and thankfully some viewers of channels are discerning!
Clever smart guy
