Outspoken radio personality Gareth Cliff has publicly praised the controversial stance of uMkhonto weSizwe (MK Party) leader Jacob Zuma. This, after he vowed to send pregnant teenage girls to Robben Island as part of his vision for South Africa
The 81-year-old made the comments when he spoke to a crowd of supporters in Maqongqo, outside Pietermaritzburg, over the weekend.

Speaking to the crowd, Zuma claimed his MK party would not allow teenage pregnancy to occur. Should it happen, young girls would be essentially exiled to Robben Island to complete their school education.
“According to the law, a child should not give birth to a child. That’s not life. It’s a disease. We will end it,” he said.
Zuma did not mention what would happen to the babies born or the men who fathered them.
Unlike other social media users who condemned MK Party’s harsh plan of action, CliffCentral founder Gareth Cliff was unfazed.

BRING BACK CORPORAL PUNISHMENT TOO
During his address, Jacob Zuma also outlined more plans for the MK party’s vision for South Africa.
This included:
Reintroduce corporal punishment in schools.
Remove Roman-Dutch law from South Africa’s legal system.
He said: “We must be governed by the African law.”
