New documents shake the political world: Former president of that country also in the Epstein scandal!

The newly released files on Jeffrey Epstein have caused a stir in the international community, with the mention of former South African President Jacob Zuma in the documents drawing particular attention. According to the allegations, Zuma met with Epstein at a dinner party held in the UK in 2010. The Zuma Foundation has categorically denied these claims.

NEW FILES RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC

US Deputy Assistant Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that more than 3 million additional documents related to the Epstein investigation have been shared. Zuma's name was included in the email correspondence found among the documents.

ALLEGATIONS OF A DINNER DURING A UK VISIT

An email dated March 5, 2010, stated that a request was made to organize a small dinner at the Ritz Hotel during Zuma's official visit to the UK. It is alleged that the correspondence was sent by Mark Lloyd, who was in Epstein's inner circle.

In the same correspondence, it was alleged that it was suggested a model be invited to "add color to the atmosphere" and that the organization was being monitored by Epstein.

ZUMA FOUNDATION: BASELESS AND DEFAMATORY

Jacob Zuma Foundation spokesperson Mzwanele Manyi described the allegations that Zuma was linked to Epstein or his activities as "baseless" in a statement he released.

Manyi emphasized that the mention of a name in the documents does not constitute an accusation of a crime, arguing that targeting Zuma by associating him with third parties is an unethical and irresponsible approach. The foundation also stated that they would not engage with publications based on speculative narratives.
