Former SAA Executive Dudu Myeni has made a spectacle of herself at the Jacob Zuma grift trial on Monday. Proceedings got off to a shaky start, when the ‘delinquent director‘ tried to slap a camera out of a photographer’s hand. She was also seen ‘manhandling’ the journalist.
‘Delinquent’ Zuma ally sees red during corruption trial
Dudu Myeni had attended the trial to give her support to the man who kept her in a position of power for his own benefit. The corruption-accused did such a sterling job of running our state airline into the ground, she was barred from serving as a director ‘for a minimum of three years, subject to an appeal’ in July 2020.
However, it seems she hasn’t spent any of that time to work on her own behaviour. Myeni, who also brought the State Capture Inquiry into disrepute by failing to answer Raymond Zondo’s questions last year, took exception to the positioning of one photojournalist inside the Pietermaritzburg High Court this morning.

Will Dudu Myeni face any further action?
Several journalists have reported the matter to the SA National Editors Forum (SANEF), arguing that Dudu Myeni ‘tried to bully’ Sandile Ndlovu. The group is expected to make a statement on the matter later today.
Hi @SAEditorsForum Dudu Myeni can not go around manhandling journalists willy nilly – she is a bully and thina abanye we are not Sandile – sizophindisa.
