Mathews Phosa has labelled Edward Zuma a joke and "waste of golden time". Zuma‚ eldest son of President Jacob Zuma‚ accused Phosa of being bitter and attacking the ANC he once unduly benefited from. Zuma wrote an open letter in response to Phosa’s open letter published last week‚ in which Phosa called for the President to step down. "Having known him personally as a child during those days makes me want to vomit, as I would have alarmed the ANC of what traitor he was to become post apartheid‚" Edward Zuma said in his letter. When asked for comment, Phosa responded to Zuma’s open letter by saying: "I have said it once and I will say it again: Edward Zuma is a little piece of vomit and not worthy of any comment because he talks rubbish."
