Abebefuna uZuma aphume bebesithi ulenkohlakalo, useyehlulekile ukubusa, usebulele umnotho welizwe, besithi njalo usethengise ilizwe kumuli yase India enothileyo eyakoGupta. Ngemva kwali mpikiswano amalunga edale lephalamende aqhube ukhetho lwensitha ukuze kungabi khona okwaziyo ukuthi umuntu uvotele ukuthi uZuma aphume kumbe hatshi.
Umkhokheli webandla le United Democratic Movement, uMnumnzana Bantu Holomisa, unxuse lamalunga eANC angasamfuniyo uZuma ukuthi lawo avotele ukuthi akhitshwe njengoba kungelamuntu ozakwazi ukuthi bavotele lokho.
Isikhulumeli sebandla le Progressive Democrats of Zimbabwe, uMnu. Mpiyezwe Nare, uthi leyinto okufanele yenziwe laseZimbabwe.
“Kuyinto enhle kakhulu ukuba amabandla aphikisanayo evumelane ingoma enye, okuyinto esiyifisayo lathi ukuba njengama opposition parties aseZimbabwe, nga siyafunda kuloluhlangothi lweSouth Africa sibone ukuthi benza njani and impumela yakhona imikanjani.”

“Yes abantu be South Africa bayayimela into yabo. Kithi eZimbabwe ayikho i opposition. I opposition ekhona ayifaki amademands kuZanu pf, that’s why i Zanu pf izenzela ngoba akukho okufakwa etafuleni yi opposition okuyidemand.”
Isizalwane seZimbabwe, uMnumnzana Khulumani Njayi, uthi ngokwenza lokhu iSouth Africa itshengise isibonelo esihle kakhulu kuzwekazi lonke le Africa.

Labo bangasithatha njengesibonelo esihle sokubana belungisise imbuso yabo emazweni abo ahlukeneyo ngendlela efanayo.”
