The Star reported that the family held the ritual
at his Nkandla residence on Sunday to commune with Zuma’s
ancestors.
Although no other African National Congress leaders
were seen at the event, Zuma joined Zulu warriors in traditional dances as
thousands of his relatives prayed for him to retain his position of ANC
president.
Zuma was reportedly given a shield and spear to
defend himself from other contenders for the ANC’s top position.
Zuma’s son Edward told police and
security personnel to expel the media towards the end of the
celebrations. A reporter for The Mercury was apparently manhandled
off the premises by police.
