If the man was behaving like this in April, how is he going to act now - me thinks we have a meglomaniac on our hands!
'Zuma convoy' raises ire of KZN motorists
April 12 2007 at 11:02AM
The speeding "blue-light" vehicle convoy, that angered many Kwazulu-Natal motorists using the N3 highway on Sunday, has been identified as that of former deputy president Jacob Zuma, The Witness newspaper reported on Thursday. According to the newspaper, its switchboard was flooded with calls from motorists who said they were pushed off the N3 on Sunday by a blue-light convoy. It reported that a Pietermaritzburg man, Faizel Mooideen, had a rifle pointed at him and his family by security officers who tried to push them out off a lane on the highway. Other statements from motorists seem to back up the bad behaviour of people in the convoy towards other road users, the newspaper said.
A woman, too scared to identify herself, said the convoy consisted of two black BMW X5s and a blue Range Rover and was apparently the same convoy that threatened Mooideen and his family. According to the woman, a group of guards from the convoy, while on a stopover at the Engen One Stop on the N3, aggressively pushed patrons out of their way while doing a security check of the area. She then confirmed that Zuma, with security guards accompanying him, got out of one of the vehicles and made his way to the toilets. "Others witnessing the scene made comments like 'Who does he think he is?'," the woman was quoted as saying. Zuma's private secretary, Nontokozo Luthuli, could not confirm the make of the vehicles used by Zuma at the weekend but said that his convoy "every now and then" changes it vehicles.

Luthuli said she could not confirm where Zuma was on Sunday and that the information was a security matter.- At the weekend, the SABC reported Zuma addressed an Easter Sunday service in the eastern Free State, where he told members of the Tyrannus Apostolic Church in Qwaqwa that black people had been robbed of their values and dignity by the apartheid regime - Sapa
