I’m not surprised by @Julius_S_Malema revelations regarding @Derek_Hanekom. It is part of the plan I mentioned at the Zondo Commission. @Derek_Hanekom is a known enemy agent.

This is in relation to a tweet last month in which Zuma referred to Hanekom as a “known enemy agent”.

The tweet came after EFF leader Julius Malema alleged that Hanekom conspired with the party to oust Zuma through a motion of no confidence in the National Assembly.

Hanekom says the matter will be heard in the Durban High Court next Wednesday.
