South African President Jacob Zuma says the African National Congress (ANC), his party, lost the polls in Western Cape because of witchcraft.

According to Huffington Post, Zuma said ghosts may have voted to keep the Democratic Alliance (DA) in power.

The South African president said he would not leave office until his term ends and that the ANC is a party backed by both the ancestors and God.

“I don’t know where they get the luck to win here because people in the majority are not living comfortable. I don’t know‚ [maybe] it’s because of witchcraft‚ witches practice their craft in different ways‚” Zuma said.

“In the last elections I was satisfied that we are taking the Western Cape‚ I even said so. What went wrong? I too can’t tell you. It’s witchcraft‚ you never know. Maybe even ghosts are voting.

“There is not a single country where its president face eight votes [of no confidences] in parliament and all of them failed. The last time …they used large sums of money‚ buying people‚ money that is hard to say no to.

“Ancestors would abandon me if I would leave because of people who talk a lot. I will be with you‚ even when my term has ended. I will be in branches‚ speaking.”
