The trial was attended by Zuma-Sambudla’s father Jacob Zuma and several party supporters.

Zuma-Sambudla faces three counts emanating from her social media posts during the civil unrest. Count one is incitement to commit the offence of terrorism, with the State alleging that between June 29 and July 2021, in various places within the country, Zuma-Sambudla unlawfully and intentionally incited others to commit terrorism by engaging in terrorist activities.

On count two, which is incitement to commit violence, the State claims Zuma-Sambudla incited, instigated, commanded or procured other persons to unlawfully assemble with common intent to forcibly disturb the public peace or tranquillity or to invade the rights of other persons.
